Summary

MM Solutions is seeking an experienced Quality & Safety leader to oversee compliance, auditing, and safety programs in a custom manufacturing environment serving the medical device and aerospace industries. This role is critical to maintaining our ISO 9001, AS9100, and ISO 13485 certifications while advancing a culture of quality and safety across the organization. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll balance executive reporting with accountability for day-to-day operations.

Description

MM Solutions is a fast-growing manufacturer serving critical sectors including aerospace, defense, and medical devices. For more than 30 years, we’ve combined precision engineering with a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement. Based in Colorado and serving customers worldwide, we focus on building innovative, long-term partnerships that deliver reliability and value in every project.  

In this role, you will partner with executive leadership, production teams, customers, and external auditors to ensure our processes meet the highest industry standards. Beyond compliance, you’ll be a strategic advisor to leadership—identifying risks, driving performance, and leading initiatives that protect employees and strengthen customer trust.

What You’ll Do

  • Report directly to senior leadership, providing strategic updates and  recommendations to management and the executive team.
  • Lead  company-wide Quality Management System (QMS) and external   certifications (ISO 9001, ITAR, AS9100, ISO 13485).
  • Drive root cause analysis, CAPA, and process improvements across manufacturing  and services.
  • Oversee  safety programs including OSHA compliance, equipment standards,  training, and incident investigations.
  • Partner with operations, engineering, supply chain, and HR to ensure compliance, customer satisfaction, and risk mitigation.
  • Build  and mentor a strong quality and safety organization that sustains growth and maintains zero-defect expectations.

What We’re Looking For

  • Hands-on Quality leadership: at least 3–5 years where the majority of your workweek was dedicated to Quality management (not project management, R&D, or lab science with partial quality oversight).
  • Proven success leading audits, customer quality reviews, and compliance programs.
  • Strong experience in manufacturing, aerospace/defense, or industrial sectors.
  • Confidence presenting to executives and customer representatives with data-driven decision making.
  • Standards expertise: ISO 9001 required; ITAR, AS9100, and ISO 13485 preferred. Experience with DOT compliance, environmental safety, or logistics support is a plus.
  • Collaborative leadership style: able to drive change and accountability through positive reinforcement rather than command-and-control.  Willingness to coach frontline leaders.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Quality, Engineering, Safety, or related field (advanced certifications such as CQE, CQA, or COSS preferred).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to assess risks and implement solutions.

Compensation & Benefits

This is a full-time, exempt position with an annual salary range of $75,000 – $115,000, depending on experience and qualifications. MM Solutions offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision coverage; retirement savings plan; paid time off; and other programs designed to support employee well-being and work-life balance.

Please Note

  • This is a full-time, onsite position (5 days/week). Remote or hybrid options are not available. If you are not currently a Colorado resident, please indicate your relocation plans in your application.
  • Manufacturing experience is required. Backgrounds limited to healthcare, chemistry, or biology labs, or general operations, are unlikely to align unless directly connected to manufacturing quality.
  • We are seeking candidates with direct accountability for company-wide Quality systems, rather than individuals pursuing their first step into Quality leadership.
