Quality Control Technician Jobs in New Mexico

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.
