QA/QC Associate

• In-Process Audits: Conduct regular walkthroughs of the production floor to verify that assembly and soldering processes align with standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Root Cause Analysis: Identify and investigate the cause of recurring defects in LED drivers or light engines; collaborate with production to implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Process Verification: Monitor critical control points, such as electrical testing, fixture assembly and component placement, to prevent "quality escapes".
• Incoming Inspection: Verify that raw materials (e.g., capacitors, LEDs, PCBAs) meet purchase order specifications and electrical requirements before they reach the line.
• Functional Testing: Perform electrical tests on LED drivers, including continuity, insulation resistance, and power factor verification using calibrated meters.
• Final Product Check: Execute visual and dimensional inspections of finished fixtures to ensure they meet aesthetic standards and customer specifications.
• Document Control: Maintain precise records of all inspections, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and test data to ensure full traceability under ISO 9001 guidelines. Generate quality procedures and systems as needed to achieve quality objectives within the business.
• Internal Auditing: Lead internal audits of departments to ensure the company remains "audit-ready" for external bodies like UL, ETL, or ISO.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Stay current on 2026 standards, including UL 8750, ISO 9001, Energy Star, and FCC electromagnetic interference requirements.
• Calibration Management: Track and enforce the calibration schedule for all measurement tools, including calipers, micrometers, and photometers.
• Other duties as assigned.
  
  

• Education: High school diploma required; Associate’s degree in electronics or a related technical field preferred.
• Experience: 2–3 years of quality inspection experience in an electronics manufacturing environment (specifically with SMT or LED assembly) preferred.
• Certifications: Familiarity with ISO 9001:2015 is essential; ASQ Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) or IPC-A-610 certification is a plus.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in reading blueprints, electrical schematics, and using data logging software.
• Attention to Detail: Ability to spot minute defects such as micro-cracks in solder or misaligned components.
