  • Provide constructive, actionable feedback to vendors and guide them toward corrective measures when issues arise
  • Process Optimization & Problem-Solving

  • Collaborate with Technical Design to analyze recurring defects and develop solutions that improve quality outcomes and manufacturing efficiency
  • Maintain detailed inspection reports, defect logs, and quality metrics to inform decision-making and track performance trends
