Drive structured problem solving with suppliers using 8D / A3 / 5-Why / Ishikawa.
Implement preventive actions tied to PFMEA risk reduction and field/production feedback.
Drive supplier process improvement focused on yield, cycle time, reliability, and cost of quality.
Lead, coach, and develop a team of Incoming Quality Inspectors (scheduling, training, work allocation, and performance management).
Build training and certification plans for inspectors (inspection methods, blueprint/GD&T basics, gage use, workmanship standards).
Ensure consistent execution of incoming inspection and clear escalation to SQE/Engineering.
Startup mindset: structured, fast, practical—build it right, then scale it.
