• Manage stage gates, including First-Off Approval (FOA), Mid-Off Approval (MOA), and Last-Off Approval (LOA) for production runs.
  


• Monitor ESD control (Electrostatic Discharge), profiling, and soldering parameters across Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Through-Hole assembly lines.
  


• Maintain and update control plans, Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), and work instructions for real-time changes
  


• Oversee final visual inspections and functional testing workflows before final packing and logistics clearance.
  


• Verify validation reports for Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), In-Circuit Testing (ICT), and Functional Testing (FCT).
  


• Enforce defect segregation protocols, ensuring all non-conforming materials are placed in quarantine areas with clear quality alerts
  


• Execute Layered Process Audits (LPA) and support internal and external IATF surveillance cycles.
  


• Apply Core Tools including Statistical Process Control (SPC) for critical parameters and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) for gauge and fixtures.PPAP Documentation, PFEMA and control plan
  


• Govern calibration cycles and preventive maintenance validation for shop-floor testing equipment.
  


• Investigate internal rejections and customer field complaints using structural problem-solving tools (8D, 5-Why, Fish bone diagrams).
  


• Deploy Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) and verify their long-term effectiveness on the floor.
  


• Train operators and inspectors on newly deployed quality checks and IPC defect standards.
  

Requirements

• Solid understanding of IPC-A-610 standards (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies).
