• Ensuring customer approval and compliance of manufactured products before shipping.
• Performing industrial quality controls, including inspections, problem-solving, and managing non-conformance reports (NCRs).
• Supporting manufacturing teams with self-inspection training and audits.
• Conducting incoming inspections and maintaining accurate documentation of results and non-conformities.
• Coordinating external inspections or lab testing when required.
• Collaborating with supply chain and supplier quality teams to address defects and ensure part availability.
