    Job Description

    Build quality into every shift—join a legacy in motion

    In 1955, John Partipilo started Dynamic Manufacturing with a single shop and a bold vision. Today, nearly a million square feet and 1,000+ teammates later, we engineer, machine, assemble, and test powertrain products for the aftermarket and OE customers—torque converters, transmissions (automatic, manual, hybrid), and transfer case assemblies. As our Manufacturing Quality Assurance Manager, you are the guardian of our systems and the catalyst for continuous improvement.

    Your mission

    Imagine we’re launching a refreshed transmission program. You establish the audit calendar, lead a management review that spotlights current trends, tighten work instructions for the new operations, and validate gage calibration plans—all while partnering with the General Manager to confirm we’re hitting every quality requirement. That’s a typical week here.

    • Lead internal audits on schedule; ensure findings are addressed and closed effectively.
    • Chair management review meetings and anchor decisions in accurate, up‑to‑date data.
    • Maintain full compliance of the quality and environmental management systems.
    • Drive the corrective action process: document, monitor execution, and verify effectiveness.
    • Own and update controlled documents across QMS and environmental systems.
    • Enhance quality tracking systems and deliver clear performance reporting.
    • Create and refine job instructions so processes run consistently every time.
    • Partner with quality and operations to sustain system effectiveness on the floor.
    • Conduct floor audits for procedural adherence.
    • Assess gaging and calibration programs for conformity with requirements.
    • Coordinate with the General Manager to ensure all product quality requirements are met.
