## About the role

Quality at Firestorm isn't a policing function — it's a competitive advantage. We're looking for a Senior Quality Engineer who understands the difference and wants to build something from the ground up. There is no inherited QMS to maintain, no entrenched process to defend. You'll establish the quality foundation for xCell — from supplier inputs through manufacturing execution — and you'll do it on a team that sees quality as everyone's job, not just yours. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Supplier quality — you'll be our primary interface with suppliers on quality issues, from nonconforming material disposition through corrective action follow-up and ongoing supplier performance monitoring
- In-process and final inspection — develop and maintain inspection criteria, work instructions, and acceptance standards that keep pace with our evolving product line
- Nonconforming material (NCMR) management — own the process from identification through disposition, including MRB participation
- Process quality — work alongside engineering and manufacturing to ensure quality is designed in, not inspected in, support NPI and ECO implementation with a quality lens
- QMS foundation — contribute to building a quality management system that will ultimately serve all of Firestorm, not just xCell
- Metrics and reporting — define the quality indicators that matter, track them, and use them to drive improvement
