Collaborate with customers to clarify quality requirements and maintain alignment on deliverables and expectations.
Nonconformance and Corrective Actions
Manage nonconformance activities, including root cause analysis, corrective/preventive actions, and Material Review Board (MRB) processes.
Track and analyze nonconformance trends to drive targeted quality improvements and reduce defect recurrence.
Data Analysis and Reporting
Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), such as yield, defect rates, and on-time delivery, to identify improvement areas.
Develop dashboards and reports to provide real-time visibility into quality performance and share actionable insights with stakeholders.
Quality Planning and Deployment
Develop and implement scalable quality control plans and deploy new inspection technologies to align with company objectives and customer expectations.
Support process validation for new or modified manufacturing processes, ensuring readiness and compliance.
Cross-functional Collaboration and Leadership
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate quality requirements into product and process development and support new product introductions (NPI).
Mentor quality team members on best practices for inspection, data analysis, and process control while driving cross-functional problem-solving initiatives.
Perform any other support functions as directed by Quality Management
Basic Qualifications

Demonstrated experience in quality initiatives focused on process improvement, defect reduction, and inspection optimization in manufacturing environments.
Proficiency in implementing and managing tools such as PPAP, FMEA, and root cause analysis (RCA) to resolve quality issues and improve processes.
Knowledge of advanced inspection methods and tools, including CMM programming, Gage R&R, and sampling techniques, with a focus on effectiveness and efficiency.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, identify trends, and drive data-informed decisions to improve yield and reduce defects.
Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, customers, and suppliers to ensure quality standards and customer expectations are met.
Clear communication and documentation skills to effectively present quality metrics, deliverables, and insights to stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, or related field) or equivalent experience in a quality-focused role.
Experience in regulated industries such as automotive, aerospace, or defense with familiarity in standards like AS9100, ISO 9001, or IATF 16949.
