Summary

As a Quality Technician at Norwood Medical, I play a crucial role in ensuring that our products meet stringent quality standards and regulatory requirements. My responsibilities include conducting inspections, performing tests, and analyzing data to identify areas for improvement in our manufacturing processes. I collaborate closely with engineering and production teams to implement corrective actions and enhance product reliability.


With a strong understanding of quality control methodologies and standards, I utilize tools such as Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) to monitor production quality. My attention to detail and analytical skills help maintain compliance with FDA regulations and ISO standards, ensuring that our products are safe and effective for end-users.


Continuous improvement is a key focus in my role. I actively participate in quality improvement initiatives, leveraging feedback to refine processes and enhance product performance. My commitment to quality assurance not only helps maintain Norwood Medical's reputation for excellence but also contributes to our overall success in the competitive medical device industry.


With my background in quality assurance and a passion for healthcare innovation, I strive to be a vital asset to the Norwood Medical team, dedicated to delivering high-quality medical solutions that improve patient outcomes.
