Quality Control Technician Jobs

A Quality Control Technician plays a crucial role in the quality control industry, ensuring that products and services meet the established standards of quality including reliability, usability, and performance. Their key responsibilities include inspecting materials, products, or systems to identify defects or deviations, conducting tests and measurements using specific tools, maintaining records of testing results, and implementing corrective actions when necessary. They also recommend modifications of existing quality or production standards to achieve optimum quality within limits of equipment capability.

For this role, technical skills are crucial, such as understanding of statistical quality control, proficiency in MS Office and database systems, and familiarity with blueprints and technical documents. A Bachelor's degree in Quality, Industrial Engineering or a related field is often required. Additionally, certifications such as Certified Quality Technician (CQT) from the American Society for Quality (ASQ) can greatly enhance employment prospects. Prior to becoming a Quality Control Technician, a person may have roles such as Quality Control Inspector, Production Operator, or Laboratory Technician, which provide hands-on experience in product inspection and quality assurance.
