Quality Documentation & Continuous Improvement

  • Maintain accurate inspection records, quality documentation, and product traceability within applicable manufacturing and quality systems.
  • Support nonconformance reporting (NCR), root cause investigations, and corrective and preventive actions.
  • Identify recurring defects, inspection trends, and opportunities to improve manufacturing quality and efficiency.
  • Ensure inspection tools and equipment are properly maintained and calibrated.
  • Support internal audits and compliance with applicable quality management systems and industry standards.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in Quality Control Inspection within a manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or precision hardware environment.
