5. Supplier & Subcontractor Quality

- Coordinate with Purchase and Supplier Development teams to ensure supplier quality requirements are met.
- Review incoming material documentation, inspection reports, and certifications for compliance.
- Monitor the quality of outsourced processes, including heat treatment, coating, and subcontract machining, as applicable.
- Support supplier non-conformance resolution and corrective action follow-ups.
- Ensure supplier documentation and material traceability records are complete and maintained.

6. Calibration & Measurement Systems





- Coordinate calibration of inspection equipment and measuring instruments in accordance with established schedules.
- Ensure calibration certificates and equipment records are maintained and traceable.
- Support measurement system analysis, repeatability studies, and process capability assessments.
- Work with the metrology team to resolve measurement discrepancies and improve inspection reliability.
- Ensure that only suitable and calibrated equipment is used for quality acceptance activities.

7. Customer Quality & Continuous Improvement

- Coordinate with customers on quality requirements, inspection documentation, and product conformity concerns.
- Support customer audits, quality reviews, and complaint investigations.
- Track customer complaints, rejection trends, rework, and recurring quality issues.
- Drive initiatives to improve first-pass yield, reduce rejection rates, and minimize rework.
- Work closely with Manufacturing Engineering and Production teams to improve process capability and product quality.
- Promote quality awareness and adherence to established procedures across manufacturing operations.

Required Skills & Competencies
