Job Description

The Company
AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions. We’re building a flexible, high-performance platform that’s easy to deploy, monitor, and scale — enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before.

Role Summary

We are seeking a Quality Manager to build and lead AnySignal’s quality function across development and production. This role combines hands-on ownership of inspection and quality execution with strategic leadership to scale our quality systems, team, and culture.

You will be responsible for ensuring product reliability and compliance from early design through manufacturing and test, while evolving our Quality Management System (QMS) into a scalable, high-impact system. This is a highly cross-functional role partnering closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to improve yield, prevent escapes, and enable mission success.

Responsibilities

Quality Leadership & Strategy

• Own and evolve the QMS (ISO 9001/AS9100 aligned), keeping it compliant yet practical for a fast-moving hardware environment, including documentation, policies, and audit support.

• Build and lead the quality team while defining the company's quality strategy across the full product lifecycle.

• Establish and rack key quality metrics (yield, escapes, nonconformances, reliability) and drive improvement through methodologies like Lean, SPC, and DOE.

Supplier & Cross-Functional Quality

• Own responsibility and interface with customers for logistics and documentation of RMA and CoC.

• Partner with Supply Chain on supplier quality — incoming inspection, corrective actions, and qualification.

• Establish strong cross-functional collaboration with Engineering and Manufacturing to drive continuous improvement.

Manufacturing & Product Quality

• Own inspection processes (incoming, in-process, final) and the metrology systems behind them, partnering with Manufacturing and Engineering to improve yield and reduce rework.

• Lead MRB, NCR/CAPA/RCA workflows to closure, and partner with Engineering on design reviews, manufacturability, and quality plans to prevent escapes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field

• 5+ years of experience in Manufacturing Quality, or related roles in a hardware production environment

• 3+ years of experience leading teams or owning major cross-functional quality initiatives

• Strong experience with inspection, NCR/MRB, CAPA, and RCA workflows

• Ability to interpret technical drawings, GD&T, and CAD models

• Experience working in high-complexity or high-reliability industries (e.g., aerospace, defense, electronics to PCBA level)

• Excellent communication skills and ability to solely interface with customers and drive alignment across teams

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with AS9100 and/or ISO 9001 quality systems

• Experience scaling or evolving a company’s quality systems in a startup or high-growth environment

• Familiarity with IPC standards, metrology tools, and advanced quality methods (SPC, DOE, PFMEA, APQP)

• Supplier quality experience including SCARs, FAI/PPAP, and vendor audits

• Experience supporting regulated or mission-critical programs (space, defense, medical, etc.)

Compensation

The estimated base salary range for this role is $140,000-$160,000 per year, plus equity. This range reflects our good-faith estimate for this position at the time of posting. The final base salary offered will depend on a variety of factors, including the candidate's qualifications, relevant experience, skills, and market considerations.
