Job description

DESCRIPTION

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

Protect product quality at the final checkpoint: Verify that all products leaving the production line meet company technical specifications, ensuring only compliant products move forward to customers or the next process.

Detect and prevent defects early: Carefully compare the physical characteristics of materials, components, and finished products against technical specifications to identify defects before they create larger operational or customer issues.

Maintain strict segregation of non‑conforming products: Quickly isolate products that fail to meet specifications, preventing them from entering the supply chain and protecting the company’s quality standards and reputation.

Apply precise measurement and inspection techniques: Use both basic and advanced measurement tools to accurately assess product dimensions, tolerances, and other required characteristics.

Ensure accurate documentation and traceability: Record all non‑conforming products in the designated systems, creating clear data that supports quality analysis, audits, and continuous improvement efforts.

Strengthen team capability through training: Train coworkers on proper use of measurement equipment, correct segregation procedures, and accurate documentation to maintain consistent quality practices across the team.

Support compliance with company quality standards: Consistently follow and reinforce the organization’s quality norms and standards, helping maintain regulatory compliance and internal process integrity.

Contribute to continuous improvement: Provide feedback on recurring defects or inspection trends to help production teams identify root causes and improve manufacturing processes.

RESPONSIBILITIES

To be successful, you will need to consistently demonstrate the following:

Be action‑oriented: Approach inspections, quality checks, and production challenges with urgency and energy. Quickly address issues on the production line and proactively identify opportunities to improve quality processes.

Collaborate with production and quality teams: Work closely with operators, engineers, and supervisors to solve problems, share information about defects, and ensure everyone is aligned on quality expectations.

Communicate clearly and effectively: Document non‑conforming products accurately and explain quality findings in a way that operators, supervisors, and technical teams can easily understand and act on.

Maintain a strong customer focus: Recognize that every inspection directly affects the customer’s experience. Ensuring products meet technical specifications protects the company’s reputation and builds customer trust.

Make timely, high‑quality decisions: When defects or measurement concerns arise, confidently decide whether products meet specifications, need rework, or must be segregated, helping production continue efficiently.

Apply measurement science and metrology principles: Use proper measurement techniques and understand sources of measurement uncertainty when using tools and equipment to ensure accurate and reliable inspection results.

Use quality process management tools: Apply quality methods such as inspections, process audits, capability studies, SPC, FMEA, and other quality systems to identify trends, prevent defects, and support continuous improvement.

Demonstrate resourcefulness and leadership in quality practices: Train others on measurement equipment and documentation processes, manage conflicts professionally when quality issues arise, and value diverse perspectives to strengthen team performance and problem‑solving.

High school diploma or certificate of completion of secondary education or equivalent experience to the extent such experience meets applicable regulations.
