16. Inspect and sign off first article setups for critical processes (stencil printer, reflow oven, wave solder, etc.) using the First Article Checklist.
17. Inspect initial boards after print and reflow for solder release, bridging, voids, and process anomalies. Document findings and sign off the First Article Report.
18. Provide on-the-floor training for operators and technicians regarding new processes, corrective actions, or observed deficiencies.
19. Support production by promptly responding to technical inquiries or line support issues.
20. Exercise full authority to stop the line if repeated defects or safety concerns are observed.

Quality Data Review & Root Cause Analysis

1. Review production data in Omega Data Collection, identifying root causes and corrective actions.
2. Review Daily, Weekly, and Customer Quality Reports to identify trends, recurring issues, or process gaps.
3. Provide structured analysis and report findings to Quality and Production (using 8D or equivalent methodology).
4. Document corrective actions and verify implementation during the next production run.
5. Present findings and improvement updates in internal and customer quality meetings.

Other Responsibilities:

1. Create and submit Post-Build DFM reports to Program Managers with improvement recommendations.
2. Implement and validate ECO changes per revision control procedures.
