Quality Manager

Join us in building the AI and robotics-powered factory of the future for chemistry-based products.

Formulate Labs is a next-generation private label contract manufacturing platform that combines artificial intelligence, robotics, and automated production to create, test, and scale chemistry-based consumer products. From formulation design to robotic dispensing and mixing to quality validation, every step is driven by data and optimized by AI.

We operate as a vertically integrated manufacturing partner - developing formulas in-house, executing production through software-defined robotic systems, and scaling production without the inefficiencies of traditional contract manufacturers. Our platform turns ideas into production-ready products faster than legacy private label models, learning and improving with every batch. We're building a new standard for how chemistry-based products are designed, manufactured, and brought to market.

About the Role

As Quality Manager, you will own the quality systems that govern our manufacturing operations. You will be responsible for ensuring our facility maintains high standards across raw materials, batch production, finished goods, and documentation.

This is a hands-on leadership role inside our production environment. You will build and refine SOPs, oversee quality control processes, manage deviations, and drive continuous improvement across the facility.

We are building a modern, automation-driven manufacturing platform -- but quality discipline remains foundational. This role ensures that as we scale, our systems remain consistent, auditable, and reliable.

This is a full-time, onsite role based in St. Louis, Missouri.

What You'll Do

  • Own and maintain the facility's quality management systems.
  • Develop and update SOPs, batch documentation standards, and inspection protocols.
  • Oversee incoming material inspection, in-process checks, and finished goods approval.
  • Lead root cause investigations and corrective/preventative actions (CAPA).
  • Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory and safety standards.
  • Train and mentor Quality Control Technicians and production staff on quality procedures.
  • Monitor key quality metrics and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Partner with Operations and Engineering to improve process robustness and reduce defects.
  • Support audits, customer quality requests, and documentation requirements.

What We're Looking For

  • 4+ years of experience in quality management within a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong understanding of quality systems, documentation control, and deviation management.
  • Experience with GMP, ISO-style systems, or regulated manufacturing environments preferred.
  • Strong organizational and documentation skills.
  • Comfortable operating both strategically and hands-on in a production setting.
  • High ownership mindset and accountability for outcomes.
  • Ability to drive structured process discipline without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
  • Strong communication skills across production, engineering, and leadership teams.
  • Experience in cosmetics, personal care, food, chemical, or related industries is a plus.

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation.
  • Leadership role with direct influence over production quality standards.
  • Opportunity to build scalable quality systems in a growing facility.
  • Hands-on impact in a modern manufacturing environment.
  • Room to grow as operations expand.
