I’m currently supporting a rapidly growing aerospace company developing next-generation communications technology for space and airborne platforms.

They’re looking for a Principal Quality Systems Engineer to lead enterprise-wide Quality Management System transformation initiatives across engineering, manufacturing, and operations.

This is a high-impact role focused on building scalable, data-driven quality systems aligned to AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards while improving process consistency, documentation architecture, and operational excellence across the business.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading QMS transformation and standardization initiatives

• Driving process governance and documentation strategy

• Building scalable quality frameworks across multiple functions

• Managing document control, traceability, and audit readiness

• Improving usability, diagnosability, and serviceability of internal systems

• Partnering closely with engineering, operations, and support teams

• Developing training and continuous improvement programs

What they’re looking for:

• 12+ years within Quality Systems, Systems Engineering, or Process Architecture

• Strong AS9100 and/or ISO 9001 expertise

• Experience with enterprise process governance and configuration management

• Background in documentation architecture and information systems

• Strong cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management skills

• Experience within aerospace, space, defense, or other highly regulated industries preferred

This is an opportunity to join a cutting-edge engineering environment where quality is viewed as a strategic function, not just compliance.
