Quality Assurance Inspector

Principal Purpose of Job

The Quality Assurance (QA) Inspector is responsible for reviewing products and materials during manufacturing to make sure they meet company requirements and quality standards.

This can occur when sorting products on an assembly line or preparing finished products for outgoing shipments. QA Inspectors identify and remove faulty items from the production line and report them to management to prevent sending poor quality items to customers.
