- In Process Quality Control:
- Lead or support root cause and corrective actions (RCCA) for internal defects, incoming quality issues, and field issues.
- Define quality requirements for critical components, subassemblies, and final robotic systems.
- Support build and assembly teams with quality checks during prototype and production runs.
- Help develop and maintain quality documentation such as inspection work instructions, checklists, and non-conformance reports (NCRs).
- Contribute to internal quality metrics and help drive continuous improvement across teams.
- Outgoing Quality Control:
- Set up and maintain the process control plans that will ensure all outgoing products are meeting the desired Quality, Reliability and Durability (QRD) requirements.
