INTRODUCTION
Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the “12 Angry Seniors.” Their mission continues to guide everything we do.
Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue. With nearly five decades of experience, we have built a distinctive, values-driven platform dedicated to improving care for older adults.
Our work spans Medicare Advantage, fully integrated care models, primary care, care for the most medically and socially complex populations, and next-generation care delivery models. Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity.
At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen—not dilute—our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve.

Quality Auditor Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quality auditor in California?
The most direct path is earning the American Society for Quality Certified Quality Auditor credential after completing the required work experience in quality auditing or inspection. California does not issue a state license for quality auditors, so the CQA is the professional benchmark employers here expect. A bachelor's degree in engineering, biology, chemistry, or a related field strengthens your candidacy, particularly in California's life sciences and aerospace sectors where technical fluency in FDA or AS9100 frameworks matters.
Which companies hire quality auditors in California?
Employers hiring quality auditors in California right now include Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Boston Scientific, and Apple, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. California's concentration of regulated industries, including medical devices, aerospace, and food manufacturing, means hiring here skews toward employers with formal quality management systems and external audit obligations.
Which California cities have the most quality auditor jobs?
The cities with the most quality auditor openings in California are Pasadena, Santa Clarita, and Cupertino. The Los Angeles basin drives much of the volume through its aerospace and defense manufacturing base, the Bay Area concentrates roles in semiconductor and biotech firms, and San Diego reflects the region's dense cluster of medical device and biotech companies with continuous FDA compliance needs.
Are there remote quality auditor jobs in California?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely analytical fields because quality auditing often requires physical access to facilities, production lines, or supplier sites. About 13% of quality auditor openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of June 2026. The portions of the role most likely to be performed remotely are documentation review, management system audits of software or service companies, and second-party supplier desk audits.
How can I get hired as a quality auditor in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a quality technician or quality inspector role, which many California manufacturers use as a feeder into auditor positions. Large food and beverage producers in California's Central Valley and medical device companies in San Diego and the Bay Area regularly hire quality associates who learn internal auditing on the job. Earning an ASQ Certified Quality Inspector credential before your first role signals commitment and gives you an edge over candidates with no formal quality background.
