Title: Manufacturing Quality Manager

Join a 100-person team with a path to IPO where 12 months of work gives you more career exposure than years at a large OEM. Real equity upside as a big fish in a small pond.
Manager of Manufacturing Quality role — you'll own the end-to-end quality strategy, build systems from scratch, manage a team of engineers, and work directly with global suppliers including China-based contract manufacturers. On-site 5 days/week in Fremont.
Role
We are looking for a Manager of Manufacturing Quality Engineering with 7+ years of experience to lead and build the quality engineering function at a fast-growing EV start-up.
You'll own the end-to-end quality strategy across assembly and production operations, manage a team of quality engineers and inspectors, and partner with global suppliers — particularly in China.
This is a backfill for a vacant role, and the Head of Manufacturing needs this person urgently to take over supplier quality calls and build the quality infrastructure from the ground up. If you thrive in start-up chaos and want to create systems and processes where none exist, this is your opportunity.
What will you be doing?
- Building quality management systems, control plans, and inspection processes from scratch — IQC, IPQC, and end-of-line (EOL) frameworks that don't currently exist
- Managing a team of 2+ quality engineers and inspectors, setting standards, and driving accountability across the quality function
- Owning global supplier quality relationships, including regular evening calls (5-8pm PT) with Chinese contract manufacturers and suppliers
- Leading root cause investigations, MRB meetings, CAPAs, and SCARs to drive continuous improvement across production
- Partnering cross-functionally with Design, Manufacturing, and Production leadership to ensure quality is built into every stage — not just inspected at the end
