Develop quality control plans and inspection infrastructure, including dimensional inspection and functional testing.
Develop and ensure compliance with all policies, procedures, quality management systems, and engineering change orders.
Develop processes to ensure accurate, current, and complete documentation (work instructions, inspections, tests, records, etc.) is utilized and maintained.
