1. Working knowledge of various metrology devices like Vision Measurement System (VMS), Co-ordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), Vernier Caliper, Micrometer, Comparator, Height Gauge, etc.

2. Develop and establish quality procedures & shift schedules for inspectors for testing of products in all stages of manufacturing.

3. Review product drawings, classify all the probable nonconformities into various risk categories & define a control plan (inspection & lab test methods & sampling frequency, sample size & AQL) for all.

4. Interact with engineering function on FMEA & inspect & review engineering releases, adhering to strict guidelines on quality risk management methods.

5. Perform process audits, product audits & internal quality audits and report the findings.

6. Maintain a CAPA log record, follow up on open CAPAs, and update.

7. Train quality engineers, inspectors & operators on updated work instructions & quality control methods and guide them on measurement (metrology) methods.

8. Work with the production team to implement testing criteria or assembly methods developed.

9. Organize incoming inspection of raw materials & bought-out parts, an in-process inspection of items & final inspections of finished products as per defined frequencies. Conduct supplier audits, and monitor supplier quality performance & corrective actions if any.

10. Monitor cleanroom conditions by organizing external testing as per AHU re-qualification procedures.

11. Maintain the list of monitoring and measuring devices, schedule & organize periodical calibration.

12. Facilitate successful qualification / validation of processes in product development (IQ, OQ, & PQ), record the results & document them as applicable & as defined by the customer for all the phases.
