The Quality Specialist Inspector plays a critical role in maintaining and elevating product and process compliance across the supply chain. This position is responsible for advanced levels of inspection. The Quality Specialist must be able to conduct external and internal audits, help managing supplier and customer quality interactions, and supporting root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives. The role requires a higher level of inspection expertise, advanced computer literacy, and working knowledge of industry quality standards such as AS9100, ISO 9001, and SAE documentation. Unlike the Final Inspector, this role is external-facing and focused on system-level compliance, customer satisfaction, and supplier performance.
Unlike a Final Inspector, who focuses on in-house part conformity and outbound visual/dimensional inspections, the Customer/Supplier Advanced Quality Inspector operates at a system and compliance level.
