    • Inspect and process warranty returns, documenting condition and root cause.
    • Consistently and accurately log all findings in the required databases for full traceability.
    • Communicate results and recommendations with your supervisor and cross-functional partners in production, engineering, and quality.
    • Maintain a clean, safe workspace, including tools, test equipment, and computers.
    • Stay current on product updates and process changes.
    • Follow all required safety guidelines and procedures—every time.
