A bit about us:

Our client is a fast-growing contract manufacturer based in the Denver, Colorado area, serving industries where precision is non-negotiable: aerospace, defense, space, motorsports, energy, and semiconductors. This company has built its reputation on solving hard engineering problems for demanding customers, combining advanced CNC machining, metal additive manufacturing, and specialty materials processing under one roof.

With a growing fleet of multi-axis machining centers and metal 3D printing systems, along with in-house inspection and metrology capabilities, this company delivers an end-to-end manufacturing solution rather than a single point service. The organization holds AS9100 and ISO 9001 certification, is ITAR registered, and maintains CMMC compliance, reflecting the rigor expected by its aerospace, defense, and government-adjacent customer base.

This is a privately held company that has scaled quickly since its founding in the early 2010s, and it continues to invest in equipment, talent, and process maturity as it takes on increasingly complex programs.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to own quality for an organization where the margin for error is genuinely small and the work genuinely matters. Parts produced here end up in aircraft, spacecraft, defense systems, and other applications where failure is not an option, so the Quality Manager role carries real weight and visibility with leadership.

Because the company operates across multiple advanced manufacturing processes rather than a single niche, this role offers broader exposure than a typical single-process quality position: machining, additive manufacturing, and specialty metals all fall under the same umbrella, giving a Quality Manager the chance to build and refine systems across a diverse production environment.

The company is still in a build phase from a quality systems standpoint, which means this hire will have real influence over how processes, documentation, and culture take shape going forward, rather than simply maintaining someone else's playbook. For a quality professional who wants ownership, technical variety, and a direct line to leadership, this is a rare combination.

Strong root cause and corrective action (RCCA) skills, including 8D, fishbone, and similar problem solving methodologies

Proven ability to lead and develop a quality team, not just execute individual quality tasks

Excellent communication skills, with the ability to represent the quality function credibly to customers, auditors, and executive leadership

Comfort operating in a fast paced, still maturing organization where processes are actively being built and refined
