  • Monitor quality indicators and deploy structured improvement actions.

  • Conduct technical visits and audits, formalize agreements, and coordinate third-party quality support when required.

3. Quality Deviation Management

  • Lead investigations into internal, supplier, and field-related quality issues.

  • Define containment and corrective actions and ensure timely resolution.

  • Develop and maintain quality dashboards and performance indicators.

4. Technical Authority and Decision Ownership

  • Support engineering teams in the assessment of components under review.

  • Decide on acceptance, conditional approval, or rejection of parts.

  • Specify necessary design or process changes before approval or release.

  • Verify mechanical, functional, and dimensional integration of components within equipment assemblies.

  • Take final responsibility for decisions related to rework, rejection, or redesign.

5. Technical Planning and Cross-Functional Alignment

  • Define annual development priorities in coordination with executive leadership and commercial teams.

  • Allocate resources across product lines, projects, and new introductions.

  • Structure and maintain engineering documentation including drawings, specifications, validation records, and quality history.

6. Leadership of Technical Teams

  • Manage the reverse engineering function (CAD models, drawings, tolerances).

  • Manage the inspection and validation function (dimensional checks, material verification, approvals).

  • Promote structured methods, technical rigor, and continuous skills development.
