- Provide hands-on support during urgent quality issues, customer escalations, production concerns, or audit preparation when the team needs additional technical or leadership support.
- Stay close to day-to-day manufacturing quality activities, including inspection findings, NCRs, corrective actions, and recurring production issues, to ensure problems are understood and resolved effectively.
- Support and guide the quality team through complex investigations, customer responses, audit findings, and time-sensitive quality concerns.
- Act as a senior escalation point for internal quality issues, customer quality concerns, supplier-related problems, and cross-functional production challenges.
