Quality Assurance Manager Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quality assurance manager in Tennessee?
Most quality assurance manager roles in Tennessee require a bachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing, or a life sciences field, combined with several years of hands-on quality assurance experience. Tennessee does not issue a state-specific license for this role, but employers in automotive, healthcare, and food manufacturing strongly favor candidates who hold credentials like Certified Quality Manager or Certified Quality Engineer through the American Society for Quality, which is widely recognized by Tennessee hiring teams.
How much do quality assurance managers make in Tennessee?
Quality assurance managers in Tennessee earn a median of about $119,430 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,980 for the lowest 10% to over $198,520 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire quality assurance managers in Tennessee?
Companies currently hiring quality assurance managers in Tennessee include Food Lion, Morgan Olson, and Reser's Fine Foods, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Tennessee's deep concentration of automotive, healthcare, and food processing operations means demand for quality assurance managers stays consistent across the state year-round.
Which Tennessee cities have the most quality assurance manager jobs?
Memphis, Nashville, and Chattanooga have the most quality assurance manager openings in Tennessee. Nashville drives volume through its large hospital networks and corporate headquarters, Chattanooga and the surrounding Southeast Tennessee corridor reflect the region's dense automotive and advanced manufacturing base, and Memphis adds demand from logistics, food production, and medical device operations anchored along the Mississippi corridor.
Are there remote quality assurance manager jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're limited, since quality assurance manager work often requires direct oversight of production floors, labs, or clinical environments. About 30% of quality assurance manager openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in software quality assurance, compliance auditing, and quality systems documentation roles rather than hands-on manufacturing or healthcare settings.
How can I get hired as a quality assurance manager in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is moving into a quality assurance manager role from a quality inspector, quality technician, or production supervisor position, which large Tennessee manufacturers like those in the Chattanooga automotive corridor and Middle Tennessee food processing plants regularly hire at the entry level. Earning an entry-level American Society for Quality certification, such as Certified Quality Inspector, strengthens a candidate's profile. Healthcare systems in Nashville also hire quality improvement coordinators as a stepping stone into broader management roles.
Where can I find and apply to quality assurance manager jobs in Tennessee?
