• Manage deficiencies and nonconforming work through root-cause analysis, permitted corrective action, repair/replacement or reperformance when directed, validation, documentation, and closure; maintain records supporting applicable FAR 52.246-4 inspection/post-acceptance actions.

Required Qualifications:
