Summary
Bill Wilson is a senior Quality Engineer with over 30 years in quality engineering and management and 17 years in aerospace-focused roles, currently leading MRB and quality systems at General Atomics Aeronautical Systems. An ASQ Certified Quality Engineer and SPC expert, he has a strong track record implementing and maintaining AS-9100/ISO systems, driving corrective and preventive actions, and leading customer audits for USAF and DCMA. Previously he improved manufacturing quality and saved substantial inspection and process time at Lockheed Martin through bespoke Access/Visual Basic/SQL database tools and SPC-driven interventions. Bill has repeatedly turned quality data into action—creating alerting systems for machining trends, LIMS integrations that replaced costly vendor modules, and FMEA-driven process improvements that reduced discrepancies by ~25% annually. Based in Palmdale, CA, he blends hands-on lab and process skills from a chemistry background with practical software automation for quality management. Outside work he’s known (unexpectantly) as the resident DJ at MetaMask, hinting at a creative, systems-minded personality beyond engineering.
