Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Architect and implement an AS9100D-compliant Quality Management System from scratch and lead the company through third-party certification. Manage internal audits, supplier quality, inspection plans, and nonconformance corrective actions.
Requires 7+ years of quality engineering experience in regulated manufacturing with deep expertise in AS9100D or ISO 9001:2015. A bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent experience is required, along with fluency in GD&T and structured problem solving.
Foundry Robotics is building an AI-native robotics manufacturing company focused on deploying advanced assembly and production capability for leading robotics companies and national-security-critical hardware. Basically, we're building robots that build robots.
We are reimagining manufacturing through advanced robotics. Our mission is to rebuild the American manufacturing industry as an AI-first, assembly-focused, dual-use contract manufacturer. We aim to empower manufacturers with intelligent, efficient, and adaptable robotic systems that redefine productivity and quality. As a founding member of our engineering team, you will have a direct and significant impact on our product, culture, and ultimate success. This role is 100% in-person at our office in the mission, SF.
This role is for a Senior Quality Engineer who can build a quality function from first principles and run it credibly in front of demanding customers. You will architect our AS9100D-compliant Quality Management System (QMS) from scratch, lead the company through third-party certification, and own the system as our scope expands across new customers and programs. You will be the in-house technical authority on quality.
Architect, document, and own Foundry Robotics' AS9100D / ISO 9001:2015 QMS, and lead the company through third-party certification
Run the internal audit program, management review, and supplier quality, ensuring compliance with customer and regulatory requirements
Own inspection plans, control plans, first article inspection, and quality records across assembly, test, and calibration operations
Own nonconformance and corrective action end to end. Lead containment, drive root cause analysis, and prevent recurrence
Serve as the quality point of contact for customer audits and source inspections, and report quality performance to leadership and customers
Mentor inspectors, technicians, and junior quality staff as the team grows
7+ years of quality engineering experience in a regulated manufacturing environment
Bachelor's degree in engineering, or equivalent demonstrated experience
Working expertise in AS9100D and/or ISO 9001:2015 is a prerequisite. You have built or operated inside the standard and can write procedures that pass external audit
Demonstrated experience leading or materially contributing to a QMS implementation or third-party certification effort
Fluency in structured problem solving, FMEA, control plans, and process capability analysis
Strong GD&T fluency and the ability to read, interpret, and challenge engineering drawings
Equally effective in a procedure review and on the shop floor
Bias toward action, scrappy problem solving, and moving fast without sacrificing rigor
ASQ certification, Six Sigma Green or Black Belt, or ISO 9001 / AS9100 lead auditor certification
Experience with APQP / PPAP and IPC workmanship standards
Experience in robotics, aerospace, defense, or other hardware-rich regulated industry
Experience supporting multiple concurrent programs in a contract manufacturing environment
Experience in an early-stage company where quality systems were built rather than inherited
This is one of the only places where world-class manufacturing operators, mechanical engineers, robotics researchers, and software engineers sit in the same room, building production systems together.
We are committed to being deeply embedded in the U.S. industrial base. Our focus is simple: build adaptive robotic assembly systems that make American manufacturing scalable, resilient, and competitive again.
