Quality Control Manager Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quality control manager in Minnesota?
Most quality control manager roles in Minnesota require a bachelor's degree in engineering, chemistry, or a life sciences field, combined with several years of hands-on quality assurance experience. Minnesota does not issue a state-specific license for the role, but hiring managers in medical device and food manufacturing strongly prefer candidates who hold the Certified Quality Manager credential from the American Society for Quality, which is widely recognized by Minnesota employers as the professional standard.
How much do quality control managers make in Minnesota?
Quality control managers in Minnesota earn a median of about $123,580 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,020 for the lowest 10% to over $218,510 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire quality control managers in Minnesota?
Minnesota quality control manager roles are posted by ProMed Molded Products, TRELLEBORG, and Padagis and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Minnesota's deep concentration of medical device, food production, and aerospace manufacturers means openings appear consistently year-round rather than clustering around seasonal hiring cycles.
Which Minnesota cities have the most quality control manager jobs?
Minneapolis, Plymouth, and Saint Paul hold the most quality control manager openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro dominates because it is home to the headquarters and major production sites of large medical device, food, and industrial manufacturers, while Rochester's concentration of healthcare and precision manufacturing draws additional demand, and St. Cloud's strength in printing and metal fabrication sustains a steady secondary market.
Are there remote quality control manager jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. About 14% of quality control manager openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the fact that most of the role involves walking production floors, conducting physical audits, and inspecting materials in person. The portions most likely to be done remotely are supplier document reviews, regulatory reporting, and quality system documentation work.
How can I get hired as a quality control manager in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a quality inspector or quality technician role first, then progressing internally. Large Minnesota manufacturers such as Medtronic, General Mills, and Roper Technologies regularly hire quality technicians and junior quality engineers at the associate level and promote from within. Completing the Certified Quality Inspector credential through the American Society for Quality gives early-career candidates a concrete edge, and technical programs at Hennepin Technical College and Minnesota State University Mankato offer manufacturing quality coursework that Minnesota employers recognize.
