• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable coordinating with vendors and internal teams on quality issues
• Proficient with standard testing and measurement equipment; basic Excel or data logging skills

Responsibilities

• Perform incoming inspections and quality audits of production samples, finished goods, and supplier shipments; evaluate new and re-sourced products prior to launch and document approval or rejection decisions
• Create detailed product specifications, acceptance criteria, and quality standards for new and re-sourced products; develop inspection criteria and test protocols for third-party labs
• Review and interpret third-party test reports to verify products meet applicable requirements and standards
• Proactively assess product risk—identifying ways a product could fail, evaluating the likelihood and impact, and working with suppliers to address issues before they reach customers
• Evaluate customer returns, determine root causes, and coordinate corrective action requests and responses with vendors and internal staff
• Document test results, failure analyses, and quality findings in clear technical reports
