QA Engineer Duties and Responsibilities
Ensuring every step of the production process meets quality standards involves many different tasks. We analyzed QA engineer job descriptions to come up with the following list of common QA engineer duties and responsibilities:
Establish and Maintain Quality Management Systems QA engineers create the quality management policies and procedures that are followed by all employees who are a part of the production process. These systems are created to the ISO 9000, an independent set of quality assurance standards.
Develop and Monitor Performance Metrics for All Stages of the Production Process QA engineers are responsible for figuring out how to quantify quality in all steps of the production process. This requires a deep understanding of the specific key production performance indicators of their employer.
Inspect the Quality of Raw Production Materials Collaboration with others in the supply chain is vital for QA engineers. They work with the purchasing team to inspect the raw materials coming in from vendors and reporting deficiencies as they are discovered.
Run Various Tests on Finished Products QA engineers create and run the various tests necessary to prove the product performs as intended. These tests vary substantially based on industry.
Determine Root Cause of Faulty Products Deficient products aren’t just discarded and forgotten about. It is the responsibility of the QA engineer to figure out if there is a larger issue behind a dip in quality.
Prepare Regular Quality Reports QA engineers provide regular status reports to management.
QA Engineer Skills
QA engineers need expertise in the principles of industrial engineering. They have to have an intricate understanding of all phases of the production process in order to devise and implement quality management systems. QA engineers also have to be experts in the ISO 9000, the industry-accepted quality assurance standards. These standards are used throughout all quality assurance processes. QA engineers have to be ethical and possess a genuine passion for perfection. In addition to these areas of knowledge and character traits, QA engineers need the following skills to obtain employment:
- Using knowledge of ISO 9000 to craft and implement quality management systems
- Analyzing key production performance indicators to determine efficiency at each stage of the production process
- Creating and conducting tests to ensure products function as designed
- Identifying deficient products and working with other engineers to find and fix the cause
- Crafting regular quality assurance reports and presenting them to management
