Hiring: Director of Quality Company: Allen Control Systems Location: Pflugerville, TX Job Posted Time: 2026-09-12 15:08:31 Target Skills & Keywords : Computer Vision About the job Experience: •8+ years in quality leadership, ideally in manufacturing, hardware, or defense/aerospace. Required Skills: •We want a pragmatic leader who favors simple, practical problem-solving (5 Whys, direct observation) over paperwork-heavy processes, and who will build a genuine partnership with Supply Chain and supplier quality engineers to catch issues at the source rather than at receiving. •Strategic & Long-Range Leadership •Own the long-range quality strategy, translating business goals into a multi-year plan for systems, staffing, and capability. •Architect our Quality Management System — including our path toward ISO 9001 — from the ground up, building processes that are clear and simple, not just audit-ready. •Own the audit calendar as the QMS matures, treating findings as strategic input, not a checkbox. •Set and report quality KPIs (defect rates, first-pass yield, complaints, supplier performance); a data point is noise, a trend is a signal. •Put every requirement, gate, and approval on trial — if no one can name who owns it and why it exists, that's the signal to cut it, not preserve it. •Get out onto the floor, into supplier facilities, and in front of customers regularly — not just working from what's reported up the chain.
