About the role

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

  Deliver consistent, reliable quality checks that ensure every product leaving the line meets technical specifications, reducing defects and customer complaints. 

  Act as a critical safeguard on the production line by identifying issues early and preventing non-conforming products from reaching the next stage or the customer. 

  Strengthen product integrity by accurately comparing physical characteristics against specifications using both basic and advanced measurement tools. 

  Improve operational efficiency by quickly isolating and segregating defective products, minimizing disruption and rework costs. 

  Create clear, traceable records of quality issues, enabling better root-cause analysis and continuous improvement across teams. 

  Elevate team capability by training others on proper measurement techniques, quality standards, and documentation practices. 

  Reinforce a culture of quality by consistently adhering to and modeling company norms and standards in every inspection and decision. 

  Contribute to long-term process improvements by spotting recurring defects and providing actionable feedback to engineering and production teams.

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

  Be action-oriented by jumping on quality issues quickly, staying energized on the production floor, and not hesitating to take ownership of tough inspection or defect-resolution challenges. 

  Collaborate across teams (production, engineering, and quality) so problems are solved faster and root causes are addressed, not just symptoms. 

  Communicate clearly and precisely when documenting defects, explaining measurement results, or training others—especially translating technical findings into simple, actionable insights. 

  Keep a strong customer focus by understanding that every inspection directly impacts end-user satisfaction, safety, and trust in the product. 

  Demonstrate strong decision quality by confidently determining pass/fail outcomes, escalating issues when needed, and keeping production moving without compromising standards. 

  Manage conflict effectively when quality issues slow production—balancing urgency with standards while maintaining professionalism and minimizing friction. 

  Be resourceful by making the most of available measurement tools, time, and personnel, and adapting quickly when constraints arise on the line. 

  Apply technical excellence through measurement science, quality process management (like SPC, FMEA, and audits), respect for diverse perspectives, and an understanding of laboratory/quality system discipline to ensure accurate, compliant, and repeatable results.
