Job Description

Post-Production Quality Manager

A pioneering manufacturer at the forefront of high-performance automotive systems is seeking a Post-Production Quality Manager to lead its final inspection and diagnostic division. This role is instrumental in ensuring the excellence of critical powertrain components before they reach the end customer. Working in a highly collaborative, hands-on environment, this individual will lead small specialized teams across torque converter testing, dynamometer operations, and detailed component autopsies. If you're passionate about engineering precision, quality assurance, and building processes from the ground up, this is a rare opportunity to leave your mark on a rapidly growing operation.

This Role Offers:

  • A mission-critical leadership position in a growing, quality-focused organization at the final checkpoint of a high-precision manufacturing process.
  • Direct influence over quality systems, diagnostics, and engineering decisions with visibility to executive leadership.
  • Opportunity to build and standardize operational procedures in a startup-like environment with strong backing and resources.
  • A collaborative and hands-on culture where your technical expertise and management skills will drive continuous improvement and team development.
  • Competitive compensation with relocation support available for the right candidate.

Focus:

  • Oversee and continually improve final-stage diagnostic testing for powertrain components, including torque converters and complete transmission systems.
  • Lead and refine dynamometer testing protocols, ensuring all equipment is calibrated and maintained to deliver reliable, repeatable data.
  • Manage the systematic disassembly and analysis (“autopsy”) of components to diagnose root causes of failure or deviation, turning findings into actionable engineering insights.
  • Supervise and mentor a cross-functional team of approximately six, including four diagnostic technicians and two teardown specialists.
  • Foster a collaborative, accountable, and safety-first culture focused on operational excellence.
  • Lead recruiting, onboarding, and performance development in line with future organizational growth.
  • Partner with engineering and quality teams to document and standardize post-production processes, SOPs, and quality protocols.
  • Drive root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for quality issues uncovered in testing or autopsy.
  • Lead initiatives to reduce waste, improve throughput, and enhance product reliability in a fast-paced, evolving manufacturing environment.

Skill Set:

  • Over 5 years of experience leading teams in quality assurance or post-production environments, preferably within high-precision manufacturing or complex mechanical systems.
  • Proven experience in teardown analysis, mechanical troubleshooting, or component autopsy.
  • Strong understanding of automotive diagnostic testing, dynamometer operations, or mechanical testing of rotating equipment.
  • Technical acumen with a mechanical or industrial engineering mindset—degree preferred but not required.

Preferred Skills

  • Hands-on experience in startup or unstructured environments where building from scratch is part of the role.
  • Working knowledge of automotive certifications or credentials (ASE, transmission rebuild, etc.).
  • Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement frameworks.
