Summary
Management of quality assurance and quality control operations spanning inspection, testing, and validation across both manufacturing/product-quality (metrology, SPC, CAPA, QMS standards) and software/test-engineering (test automation, release validation, test architecture) domains. Distinct from sibling focuses such as Regulatory/Compliance Affairs, Supplier Quality, or Reliability Engineering — this focus owns the day-to-day quality control systems, inspection/test teams, defect prevention, and quality signal ownership that gate production and release.
