• Ensure all process changes are properly documented, communicated, and sustained over time.
• Support supplier and incoming quality efforts by participating in supplier corrective actions, improving incoming inspection processes, and analyzing defect and trend data.
• Partner cross-functionally with Purchasing, Engineering, and Production to align on quality standards and ensure clear, consistent communication across teams.
• Lead, coach, and develop the Quality team by strengthening problem-solving capability, reinforcing Maverick Power values, and fostering a culture where issues are surfaced early.
• Track, analyze, and improve quality KPIs; communicate performance to leadership using visual management with emphasis on leading indicators and process health.

• Ensure QC Supervisors effectively train Team Leaders in standardized work, problem solving, and guided experimentation principles.

• Familiarity with quality tools and FMEA, PAPP, ISO 9001, etc.
