  • Serve as a key point of contact for quality-related communications with customers and suppliers. Manage non-conformance reports (NCRs), coordinate corrective actions, and support quality agreements and flow-down requirements.
  • Champion continuous improvement initiatives using structured methodologies such as DMAIC, PDCA, and Kaizen. Facilitate quality workshops and contribute to the development of a culture of quality and accountability.
