• Drive root cause and corrective action with 5 Whys and 8D
• Assist with internal and process audits; contribute to continuous improvement projects
• Maintain complete, accurate quality records and documentation
• Collaborate closely with production, engineering, and suppliers to resolve quality concerns
• Support new product launches and sample part builds

What Sets You Up for Success

• At least 2 years in a quality or manufacturing role, ideally in automotive
• Understanding of IATF 16949 and core tools: APQP, PPAP, FMEA, Control Plans (preferred)
