As a Quality Systems & Continuous Improvement Analyst, you will merge hands-on site enablement with advanced predictive analytics. This role bridges site-level defect triage with network-wide risk modeling, taking the tactical outputs of Quality Assurance and the analytical frameworks of Risk Systems to actively design, execute, and govern end-to-end continuous improvement programs. By breaking down the execution-analysis silo and introducing dynamic risk governance, you will provide operations teams with the analytical tooling and senior coaching needed to independently drive high-impact Six Sigma initiatives and prevent delayed corrective actions.
