About The Position

We are seeking a hands-on Quality Team Lead to support daily quality operations on the production floor and serve as the go-to resource for a team of Quality Technicians and Inspectors.

• Strong attention to detail and a consistent commitment to accuracy in documentation and inspection.
• Clear, professional communication skills — able to relay technical information to both team members and supervisors.
• Dependable, organized, and capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced production environment.

• Maintain accurate quality records and ensure documentation meets internal and customer requirements.
• Investigate and facilitate resolution of customer complaints and warranty claims, escalating to the Quality Manager as needed.
• Apply root cause analysis tools (5 Why, Fishbone) to identify and address recurring defects.
• Track and report on daily/weekly quality metrics; surface trends and recommend corrective actions to the Quality Manager.
• Participate in and support continuous improvement projects aimed at reducing defects and improving throughput.
• Coordinate with Engineering, Production, and Supply Chain on quality-related concerns affecting the production line.
