Quality Assurance Manager Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quality assurance manager in Washington?
Most Washington employers expect a bachelor's degree in engineering, life sciences, computer science, or a related field, combined with several years of hands-on QA experience. Washington has no state-issued license specific to quality assurance managers, but employers in aerospace and medical devices strongly favor candidates who hold ASQ certifications such as the Certified Quality Manager or Certified Quality Engineer. Building experience in industries concentrated in Washington, particularly aerospace, biotech, and cloud software, accelerates advancement into management.
How much do quality assurance managers make in Washington?
Quality assurance managers in Washington earn a median of about $145,210 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $112,970 for the lowest 10% to over $213,930 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire quality assurance managers in Washington?
Employers hiring quality assurance managers in Washington right now include Amazon, Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure (H2C), and SOCOTEC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Washington's concentration of aerospace manufacturers, medical device companies, and major technology firms means quality assurance roles here often require familiarity with highly regulated production or software development environments.
Which Washington cities have the most quality assurance manager jobs?
Seattle, Richland, and Redmond account for the largest share of quality assurance manager openings in Washington. Seattle and Bellevue lead because of the dense cluster of technology companies, healthcare systems, and corporate headquarters in the metro, while Everett draws significant demand from Boeing's commercial airplane production facilities and the aerospace supply chain concentrated along the I-5 corridor.
Are there remote quality assurance manager jobs in Washington?
Yes, and more than many management roles, particularly in software and cloud services where QA work is largely desk-based. About 40% of quality assurance manager openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how many of the state's tech employers have adopted flexible work policies. Software quality engineering and compliance documentation roles are the most consistently remote, while positions in aerospace and medical device manufacturing almost always require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a quality assurance manager in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a QA analyst, quality technician, or test engineer role first, then building toward management. Boeing's manufacturing operations in Everett and Renton and medical device companies in the greater Seattle area regularly hire quality coordinators and inspection technicians who work toward senior roles internally. Earning an ASQ Certified Quality Improvement Associate credential gives early-career candidates a concrete advantage. Adjacent roles in regulatory affairs, configuration management, and software testing at Washington technology firms also feed naturally into quality assurance manager positions.
Where can I find and apply to quality assurance manager jobs in Washington?
