Summary
Management of the operational quality control function — directing inspection and testing teams that verify raw materials, in-process samples, and finished products against internal standards and external regulations (e.g., AS9100). Distinct from Quality Engineering (process/design quality methods) and Regulatory Affairs (submission ownership): this focus owns the QC/inspection workforce, the Quality Management System (QMS) administration, defect tracking via SPC/LIMS tooling, and the authority to stop production for serious defects.
This level — M3 M3 — Senior Manager
Leads multiple teams or a sub-function; sets goals and owns cross-team execution.
