Quality Systems Manager
Angstrom Engineering Inc.
RESPONSIBILITIES & EXPECTATIONS
- Own the company’s “lessons learned pipeline”—from discovery to verification to implementation across engineering, production, and field service.

- Ensure engineering changes, design updates, and process improvements are systematically deployed across active and future projects.
- Lead the supplier quality function, including supplier performance monitoring, root cause investigations, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Champion standardization efforts, especially as Angstrom expands its semi standard product lines and begins pre building inventory.
- Collaborate with Project Managers, Engineering, Production, and Service teams to ensure improved designs and practices are adopted consistently.
- Build and maintain quality metrics, dashboards, and reporting structures that allow the organization to measure and react to trends.
