At Two Six Technologies, we build, deploy, and implement innovative products that solve the world’s most complex challenges today. Through unrivaled collaboration and unwavering trust, we push the boundaries of what’s possible to empower our team and support our customers in building a safer global future.

Two Six Technologies is building a disciplined, scalable manufacturing ecosystem for secure, mission-critical hardware. We are seeking a Configuration Management/Quality Management (CM/QMS) Lead to establish and own the foundational systems that control product definition, documentation, and quality processes across production sites and contract manufacturers.

• Serve as the primary administrator for the future PLM system, including implementation planning and data migration.
• Maintain controlled build packages and ensure production always uses the correct revision set.

Document Control & QMS

• Own the Quality Management System (QMS) framework, including procedures, templates, records, and training.
• Develop and roll out the document hierarchy: policies, SOPs, work instructions, forms.
• Manage internal audits, corrective actions (CAPA), NCR system, and deviations.
• Ensure QMS and CM processes meet internal, customer, and regulatory expectations (ITAR, NIST 800-171, ISO-alignment).
• Support supplier and CM audits for CM/QMS-related processes.

What you will need:

• Technical degree or comparable relevant additional experience
• 7+ years experience in configuration management, document control, QMS, or related roles
• Experience with PLM/PDM systems (Arena, Teamcenter, Windchill, Propel, etc.)
