• Proven experience leading internal and external audits
• Experience managing CAPA/root cause programs (8D, 5 Why, Fishbone/Ishikawa) at a department level
• ASQ certification (CQE, CQM/OE, or similar) strongly preferred
• Experience with SPC, Minitab, and/or Lean/Six Sigma methodologies
• Strong leadership, communication, and cross‑functional collaboration skills
• Experience managing budgets and departmental staffing
