Quality Control Manager (Technology Products)

About the role

Sealing Technologies, a Parsons company, is seeking a Quality Control Manager to oversee and manage the quality control process for technology testing and kitting operations within SealingTech’s Enterprise Modernization Center. This role is distinct from Quality Assurance (QA), focusing on operational execution of testing, inspection, and product release.

Responsibilities

• Manage the end-to-end execution of testing, kitting verification, visual inspections, and packing. Ensure rigorous checks against the Bill of Materials (BOM) for every product/order, verifying part numbers, quantities, and revisions.
• Enforce cosmetic standards for hardware (ensuring devices are scratch/dent-free) and oversee data integrity for serial number capturing, ensuring physical asset tags match digital inventory records.
• Oversee the custom hardware testing environment, including burn-in and automated testing for produced and procured equipment.
• Verify that dunnage is applied correctly to prevent transit damage and that presentation meets guidelines.
• Identify recurring quality risks and inefficiencies within testing, kitting, and inspection processes. Recommend and implement improvements to reduce defects, rework, and delivery risk.
• Partner with QA to identify trends, systemic quality issues, and opportunities for standardization beyond individual lot-level issues. Escalate recurring or systemic nonconformances to QA for QMS review.
• Create, maintain, and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for testing and inspection activities.
• Serve as the primary subject matter expert during customer, program, or partner testing requests and audits. Own the external-facing process walkthroughs, providing demonstrations, records, and explanations regarding how testing and product release activities are performed.
• Support incoming inspection criteria, provide defect data to Logistics/Purchasing/QA for supplier performance monitoring, and assist with containment actions when issues are identified.
• Collaborate with various departments, including product development, procurement, production, logistics and other program teams, to develop testing plans that align with company and customer standards.
• Allocate labor, equipment, and materials to optimize testing efficiency while controlling costs. Create testing schedules based on production forecasts.
• Manage internal NCM (Nonconforming Materials), lead investigations into errors, and implement operational Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
• Collect and analyze data to produce Quality Control reports (Testing Results, Certificates of Conformance, Packing Lists, etc.).
