Operations Quality Technician

MicroVision, a leader in advanced perception solutions for industrial, security and defense, and automotive applications, seeks an Operations Quality Technician to join our team in Orlando, Fl. This role safeguards product quality on the production floor by performing inspections and measurements, monitoring process performance, and driving the containment and resolution of quality issues. Working closely with Manufacturing, Quality Engineering, and Supply Chain, you will help ensure that our lidar sensors and related hardware consistently meet customer, regulatory, and internal requirements, from incoming materials through final shipment.

• conducting first article inspections (FAI) and supporting layout inspections for new parts, suppliers, and engineering changes; and

• accurately recording inspection results and maintaining traceability of inspected material, including lot and serial number records.

Nonconformance and Corrective Action 

• Identifying, documenting, segregating, and tagging nonconforming material, and initiating NCRs in the quality management system;

• leading/supporting containment actions, including sorting, rework verification, and quarantine control;

• participating in MRB activities and supporting disposition of nonconforming product; and
