About us
TEKEVER is redefining how autonomous systems are designed, built and deployed in Defence and security environments.
Our work brings together software, hardware, integration and operational deployment in a highly regulated environment, where quality, traceability and assurance are critical to mission success.
The role
We are seeking a hands-on Quality Manager to lead day-to-day quality management and assurance within our Swindon manufacturing operation. You will help establish robust, clearly defined and controlled manufacturing processes that meet AS9100 requirements and support safe, repeatable delivery of conforming product.
Working closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Supply Chain, Design Engineering and the wider UK QSHE team, you will translate requirements into effective shop-floor controls, objective evidence and sustainable improvement. The role combines management-system ownership with practical production support, including First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs), nonconformance control, root-cause analysis and Kaizen-based improvement.
What you’ll be doing
- Lead the implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of the Quality Management System within the Swindon manufacturing environment, aligned with AS9100 and ISO 9001.
- Define, map and improve manufacturing and quality processes, including clear ownership, inputs, outputs, controls, measures, risks, records and interfaces.
