I lead automotive quality engineering, audits, corrective actions, and data-driven improvement.
AlbaniaWhat I'm looking for
I lead quality engineering activities at Forschner AL, covering production inspections, audits, customer claims, and quality priorities. As Deputy Quality Manager when required, I support management decisions, escalations, and cross-functional meetings.
I coordinate PPAP documentation and contribute to APQP and FMEA activities for project launches and customer requirements. I also support QMS documentation and IATF 16949 compliance, contributing to audits completed with no major non-conformities.
I use 8D, 5 Why, Power BI, and advanced Excel to investigate root causes, monitor defect trends, and drive corrective actions. I introduced incoming-material inspection tracking to strengthen supplier feedback and continuous improvement.
Earlier at Forschner AL, I worked in quality assurance and laboratory operations, performing product testing, calibration coordination, and process capability studies. I train and mentor engineers and interns, and I’m progressing toward a full Quality Manager role.
