  • Support the Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) process by coordinating with suppliers and facilitating material transfers.
  • Maintain positive relationships with suppliers to ensure timely resolution of any corrective actions resulting from audits.
  • Ensure that all design changes and implemented improvements, along with related SOPs and documents, are communicated to suppliers as necessary.
  • Act as a Subject Matter Expert in your area of expertise by staying informed about relevant procedures and specifications related to your role, including participation in external audits (e.g., BSI, FDA).
  • Support and complete any additional tasks assigned by the QC/QA Manager.

Required Skills:
