What I'm looking for

I’m looking to drive manufacturing and supplier quality using supplier/process audits, RCA, CAPA, and continuous improvement—partnering with production and engineering to reduce defects, strengthen compliance, and deliver consistent customer satisfaction.

I’m a Quality Assurance Engineer with 5+ years of experience across supplier quality, in-process quality, final inspection, and laboratory testing. I focus on reducing defects through structured Root Cause Analysis (RCA), CAPA, and corrective actions, while maintaining strong manufacturing quality systems.

In my current role, I monitor supplier quality and incoming inspection for electronic components, support in-process quality control, and conduct supplier audits, process audits, and product quality assessments. I lead root cause analysis and CAPA for supplier and production quality issues, review rejection trends, and coordinate with production, engineering, and suppliers to improve quality outcomes.

Previously, as a Senior Quality Engineer, I managed incoming, in-process, and final inspection for consumer electrical products, improving supplier quality performance through audits and corrective action reviews while maintaining compliance with BIS standards and customer requirements. I also bring hands-on laboratory testing experience (IS 694, IS 1293) and participate in BIS and customer audits to ensure timely closure of observations.
