Wicked Technologies is on a mission to improve our customers' lives through innovative, high-quality bedding solutions. As we scale, we’re looking for an on-site Quality Manager to own and scale our company's quality systems. This role requires someone who understands that quality is a mindset and is never finished.

Job Responsibilities: Quality Management System (QMS)
  • Own, maintain, and improve our QMS (aligned with ISO 13485 and FDA requirements)
  • Manage and create practical, usable SOPs and processes that support a high-growth company (not shelfware)
  • Lead internal audits, document control, and training systems
  • Support quality metrics and management review
  • Balance quality infrastructure investment against commercial priorities and perform risk management
Customer Complaints & Post-Market Quality
  • Own complaint intake, investigation, and resolution
  • Identify trends and turn feedback into actionable improvements
  • Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions
  • Communicate post-market risk to leadership so that quality data informs commercial strategy
Manufacturing & Operational Quality
  • Implement incoming inspection, in-process, and final quality controls
  • Partner closely with operations to reduce defects and improve consistency
  • Manage nonconforming materials and supplier quality feedback
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, engineering, and customer success
Product Quality & Continuous Improvement
  • Translate real-world issues into product and process improvements
  • Support design changes, validation, and risk-based thinking
  • Be the voice of quality and champion a quality mindset across the company
What We’re Looking For
  • 3–7+ years in Quality Engineering (manufacturing required; medical device a plus)
  • Experience with ISO 13485 or FDA QSR (or strong exposure and willingness to learn)
  • Strong problem-solving skills (root cause, CAPA, etc.)
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, startup environment
  • Someone who takes ownership and builds—not just maintains
  • Management & Lean Manufacturing experience
  • Six Sigma Black Belt or Green Belt
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate across functions
  • Can translate quality risk into business impact: cost, customer attrition, regulatory exposure, and competitive positioning
  • Comfortable presenting recommendations and trade-offs to leadership with clarity
Compensation
  • Salary: $100,000 – $120,000 (based on experience)
  • Equity opportunities (for the right candidate)
  • Opportunity to build and scale something meaningful
Why Wicked Technologies?
We move fast, solve real problems, and care deeply about the products we put into the world.

  • Your work actually matters
  • You can build systems that meet regulatory standards and solve customer needs
