• Develop and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to eliminate recurring defects

• Support assembly operations to ensure processes meet quality standards and specifications

• Work closely with production, maintenance, and engineering teams to resolve in-process quality issues

• Review and validate process controls, work instructions, and inspection plans (control plans)

• Conduct audits (layered process audits, station audits) to ensure compliance with established quality standards

• Support launch activities and process changes to ensure quality requirements are met (PPAP, validation builds, run-offs)

• Monitor key quality metrics (IPPM, PPM, scrap rate, defects per unit) and report performance to plant leadership

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on reducing variation, defects, and waste

• Assist in standardizing best practices across assembly operations

• Ensure compliance with safety and quality standards while promoting a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
