The role
Imagine this... you're the guardian of excellence, from the first bolt delivered by a supplier to the final UAV ready for flight. You're on the production floor where innovation takes shape-hands-on, sharp-eyed, and unstoppable. Every component you approve, every supplier you audit, every process you refine brings our next-generation defense technology closer to perfection. At Destinus, your precision keeps our performance sky-high.
At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.
What you'll do
- Develop, implement, and maintain quality assurance procedures and supplier quality strategies aligned with aerospace and defense requirements
- Lead supplier audits and assessments, ensuring compliance with ISO 9001, AS9100, and defense standards
- Monitor supplier performance, track non-conformances, and drive corrective and preventive actions
- Investigate and analyze root causes of production or supplier issues and define process improvements
- Establish and report supplier and internal quality KPIs, highlighting trends and risks to management
- Collaborate closely with Procurement, Engineering, and Production to qualify new suppliers and support supplier development
- Conduct FAI, FMEA, PPAP, and PQP reviews to ensure all parts and processes meet our standards
- Maintain clear documentation of inspections, control plans, and quality management system records
- Support customer and regulatory audits, ensuring readiness and compliance across all supply chains
- Champion continuous improvement and Lean initiatives that raise the bar for performance and reliability
Who You Are
You thrive where precision meets pressure. You’re equally comfortable inspecting a part on the floor as you are auditing a supplier halfway across the world. You spot issues before they snowball and take pride in solving problems that others might overlook. You’re curious, proactive, and relentless about continuous improvement. Quality isn’t just your job—it’s your DNA.
