Director of Quality

LHH

Director of Quality

Farmingdale, NY (Onsite)

We’re partnering with a well-established manufacturing organization in the aerospace/defense space that’s looking to bring on a Director of Quality to lead and elevate their quality function.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll own the Quality Management System, work directly with leadership, and play a key role in driving compliance, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement across the business.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Own and lead the company’s Quality Management System (QMS) , ensuring alignment with AS9100 standards
  • Drive the organization through AS9100 certification and ongoing compliance
  • Lead internal audits, corrective/preventive actions (CAPA), and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Partner with customers to address quality issues, complaints, and overall satisfaction
  • Ensure compliance with ITAR and export regulations tied to government and defense work
  • Oversee supplier quality and work cross-functionally with purchasing and operations
  • Manage inspection, documentation control, calibration systems, and asset tracking
  • Analyze quality metrics (defects, performance, trends) and report findings to leadership
  • Lead and mentor the quality team while improving processes across the organization

What they’re looking for:

  • 7–10+ years in quality leadership within aerospace, defense, or similar regulated manufacturing
  • Strong hands-on experience with AS9100 / ISO 9001 (AS9120 is a plus)
  • Six Sigma certification (Green or Black Belt preferred)
  • Experience with ITAR compliance and government contract requirements
  • Ability to lead audits, root cause investigations, and system improvements
  • Comfortable reading engineering drawings and working with inspection tools
  • Proven experience managing teams within a quality or inspection environment
  • Strong communicator — able to work across all levels internally and externally

Why this role stands out:

  • Direct visibility with leadership and customers
  • Opportunity to build and shape the quality function
  • Stable company with strong presence in defense/aerospace markets
  • Hands-on leadership role (not just oversight)
