A day in this role
You start by reviewing overnight SPC signals and MSA findings from the line. A trend in optical distortion triggers a layered audit: you walk the process, verify gauges, and partner with production to test adjustments. After lunch, you lead a cross-functional huddle with engineering and supply chain to close the loop on a supplier-related variation. You finish by updating process flows, inspection reports, and corrective actions so lessons learned turn into institutionalized controls.
What you will own
- Design, deploy, and sustain quality control systems and standard work that prevent defects and elevate capability.
- Plan and conduct audits, inspections, and product/process testing to ensure adherence to internal and external standards.
- Pinpoint improvement opportunities in manufacturing to reduce scrap, rework, and variation while improving yield and consistency.
- Collaborate with engineering, production, and supply chain to resolve quality issues at the root cause.
- Create and maintain quality documentation, including process maps/flows, inspection plans and reports, and corrective/preventive actions.
Background that sets you up for success
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a specialization in Operations Management, Engineering Management, Quality Management, or a closely related discipline; a master's in quality management or a similar field is preferred.
