Quality Assurance Lead — Defense & RF/Microwave SystemsAS9100 · ISO 9001 · DGQA · DGAQA | Bengaluru, Karnataka | 5–6 Years Experience

About RFMWRFMW Innovations Lab Private Limited is a Bengaluru-based design and manufacturing company building mission-critical RF and microwave systems for India's defense and aerospace ecosystem. We work closely with premier defense PSUs and research establishments to deliver hardware that has to work — every time, under demanding conditions. Quality isn't a checkpoint for us; it's built into how we design, build, and ship.

The OpportunityWe're looking for a Quality Assurance Lead to own and elevate our quality function end to end. This is a role for someone who's equally comfortable in a boardroom audit review and on the shop floor tracing a non-conformance to its root cause — someone fluent in the specific language of defense quality assurance: DGQA, DGAQA, AS9100, and ISO 9001.

What You'll Do

- Lead and continuously strengthen RFMW's Quality Management System across AS9100 and ISO 9001 frameworks
- Own liaison and coordination with DGQA and DGAQA for inspections, audits, and product certifications
- Drive incoming, in-process, and final inspection for RF/microwave modules, subassemblies, and finished systems
- Lead root cause analysis, CAPA, and NCR closure across design, manufacturing, and supplier quality
- Manage supplier quality audits and vendor qualification for critical and long-lead components
- Own internal audit planning and execution, and lead the organization's readiness for external certification and surveillance audits




- Partner closely with design, production, and program teams to embed quality from the first drawing, not just at the final inspection gate
- Build, mentor, and grow a QA team as RFMW scales into new programs

What You'll Bring
- 5–6 years of quality assurance experience, ideally in defense, aerospace, or precision electronics manufacturing
- Solid working knowledge of DGQA and DGAQA processes, documentation, and inspection requirements
- Hands-on experience implementing and maintaining AS9100 and ISO 9001
- Understanding of RF/microwave hardware quality considerations — a strong plus
- Sharp root-cause problem-solving instincts and a genuine ownership mindset
- Comfort leading a team and working cross-functionally with engineering, procurement, and program management
- Strong documentation, reporting, and communication skills

Why RFMW
- Work on mission-critical defense technology that genuinely matters
- A fast-growing, hands-on workplace where your quality leadership directly shapes product outcomes — not a role buried in bureaucracy
- Direct exposure to premier defense customers, certification bodies, and cutting-edge RF/microwave engineering
