AUSTIN ROEBUCK
U.S. Navy veteran and Quality Assurance and Quality Systems leader with 10+ years in highly regulated aerospace and aviation environments, supporting multiple cross-functional organizations of 180+ personnel. I owned the quality management system, integrating the Navy's aviation maintenance and quality assurance requirements (OPNAVINST 4790.2, NAMP) with ISO 9001 and AS9100 standards. Navy regulations set the mandatory inspection, maintenance, and documentation requirements, while ISO 9001 and AS9100 supplied the process-based framework for risk management, document control, internal audits, and continual improvement. Using root cause analysis and Corrective Action/Preventive Action (CAPA) processes, I resolved 10,000+ aircraft discrepancies and implemented 600+ corrective action requests, while managing 25,000+ tools and keeping multiple programs audit-ready, sustaining compliance and operational readiness across all aircraft.
