Description

This position requires working 12-hour shifts from 5:30am to 5:30pm for the day shift, following a rotating schedule of three days on and four days off, alternating with four days on and three days off. Every other weekend off, providing a well-balanced schedule. We offer a premium shift differential of 10% for all nighttime hours, ensuring your dedication is both recognized and rewarded.

As a Material Review Board (MRB), you play a vital role in ensuring product and process quality by documenting, tracking, and supporting the resolution of nonconforming material and product issues. You serve as a liaison between quality, production, engineering, and supply chain teams, ensuring that nonconforming items are properly identified, segregated, and addressed according to internal procedures. Your meticulous attention to detail, documentation accuracy, and communication skills are essential in maintaining compliance with quality standards and regulatory requirements.

• Inspection of Nonconforming Material: You inspect incoming, in-process, and finished parts to identify nonconformities using technical drawings, specifications, and work instructions. By ensuring that only compliant products move forward, you prevent defects from entering the next phase of production—protecting product integrity and customer satisfaction.
• Nonconformance Reporting: You accurately document all nonconforming parts in Nonconformance Reports (NCRs) or defect tracking systems. Your detailed reporting provides a reliable source of data that supports trend analysis, accountability, and continuous improvement efforts across departments.
• Material Segregation and Control: You segregate and quarantine nonconforming materials to prevent them from being used in production. This proactive step safeguards product quality and reduces the risk of costly recalls or customer complaints due to defective materials.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: You work closely with engineering, quality, and production teams to determine the root cause of nonconformities and support effective corrective actions. Your coordination drives timely resolution, minimizes disruption, and fosters a quality-focused culture.
• Defect Disposition Support: You participate in determining the appropriate disposition for nonconforming parts, whether rework, scrap, or return-to-vendor. Your involvement helps minimize material waste, reduce downtime, and support cost-effective decision-making.
• Use of Precision Inspection Tools: You utilize precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges) and visual inspection methods to evaluate components accurately. Your technical skill ensures measurement reliability, supporting confidence in defect detection and process control.
• Inspection Recordkeeping: You maintain clear and accurate inspection logs and ensure traceability of rejected materials. Your meticulous recordkeeping ensures readiness for audits and supports historical analysis that can guide future quality decisions.
• Audit and Compliance Support: You provide accurate documentation and clear explanations of nonconformities during internal audits and regulatory inspections. Your preparedness ensures compliance with quality standards and enhances the organization’s reputation and audit outcomes.
• Process Improvement Participation: You proactively identify and recommend improvements to inspection procedures and quality control processes. Your insights contribute to higher efficiency, reduced errors, and a stronger overall quality system.
