2. Nonconformance Detection & Containment
  • Initiate containment actions for nonconforming material, including defect tagging, quarantine, and escalation to Quality Engineering.
  • Reject and properly document any product or material, not meeting quality requirements.
  • Support corrective action efforts by providing inspection data and defect characterization.
 
 
3. Manufacturing Floor & Production Support
  • Provide hands-on quality support to production teams to resolve yield issues and improve throughput.
  • Support New Product Introduction (NPI), pilot builds, and production ramp activities by ensuring early defect detection.

4. Customer & Program Quality Support
  • Interface with customers as needed to clarify quality requirements, inspection criteria, and documentation expectations.
  • Participate in customer audits, quality reviews, and program discussions supporting compliance and product acceptance.
  • Provide feedback to engineering and manufacturing teams to improve manufacturability and process consistency.
5. Documentation & Continuous Improvement
  • Maintain quality documentation, inspection reports, defect logs, and related quality records in accordance with QMS requirements.
  • Support continuous improvement activities focused on reducing defect rates, improving cycle time, and strengthening quality coverage.
  • Contribute to incident reporting, opportunities for improvement, and ongoing quality initiatives.
6. Quality Culture & Mentorship
  • Promote quality awareness and standard work practices throughout the production floor.
  • Serve as a mentor and resource to production personnel on inspection expectations and defect prevention.
