- Keeping QA, production and logistics records accurate and up to date
- Assisting with external audits
- Making solid calls on line issues and escalating to management when needed
- Investigating non-conformances, complaints and quality incidents, then helping put CAPA actions in place
- Coordinating in-process and finished product sampling for testing
- Managing calibration schedules for quality-critical equipment
- Spotting trends and pitching in on continuous improvement
