Up to $75,000/yr (DOE) | Milwaukee / Brown Deer, WI Area | 1st Shift | Direct-Hire

• Competitive base salary (Up to $75K dependent on experience) backed by elite corporate profit-sharing, full health/dental benefits, and paid time off
• 3+ years of hands-on quality experience in a manufacturing environment; must be a United States Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card holder); residing within a comfortable ~45-minute commuting radius of the Brown Deer / Milwaukee facility
• Stable 1st Shift schedule, Monday through Friday, offering predictable daytime hours and zero mandatory weekend shifts

• Established, financially rock-solid custom manufacturer with a highly collaborative, people-first workplace culture

If you are a hands-on quality professional who thrives in a high-autonomy environment where you can take true ownership of compliance and quality systems, this position offers your ideal professional home. Operating as an established, financially rock-solid custom manufacturer, this organization has built an enviable reputation for precision engineering, custom component manufacturing, and uncompromised quality standards.

Unlike large, rigid corporate conglomerates where your impact is buried under layers of bureaucracy, this agile, mid-sized production facility ensures you are a key strategic player on day one.

Reflecting this true people-first culture, the organization boasts remarkable employee tenure and rewards its team through competitive base pay and profit sharing.

What You Will Be Doing

• Support the full implementation and ongoing compliance of the facility's ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS).
• Conduct routine internal audits, monitor daily floor adherence to established standard operating procedures and work instructions, and follow up on compliance gaps.
• Assist with CAPA investigations, lead root cause analysis for nonconformances, and execute effectiveness verifications.
• Own and maintain LOG-005 (Product Inspection & NCR Log), driving nonconformance documentation and disposition follow-ups.
• Support returned product evaluations, testing, and finding documentation while assisting Engineering with First Article Inspections (FAI).
• Support incoming, in-process, and final inspection activities, including supplier quality investigations.
• Keep controlled documentation, training logs, and quality records up to date to ensure constant ISO certification readiness.

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years of hands-on quality experience within a precision discrete manufacturing environment.
• Solid working knowledge of ISO 9001 standards, QMS implementation, internal auditing workflows, and CAPA resolution.
• Proven ability to read and accurately interpret complex engineering drawings, schematics, and customer specifications.
• Rock-solid career track record showing consistent employment (2+ years per employer) and the self-direction needed to coordinate effectively with leadership.
• Must be a United States Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card holder); residing within a comfortable ~45-minute commuting radius of the Brown Deer / Milwaukee facility to support daily on-site operations.

Preferred Technical Assets

• ISO 9001 Internal Auditor Certification.
• Hands-on experience with ERP/MRP quality management modules.
• Formal training in root cause problem-solving methodologies (5-Why, Fishbone, 8D).
