Achieved an improvement in production yield by 40%, eliminating need to redesign product.Managed reliability and quality checks for Datalink hardware and software changes to be pushed into production. Responsible for implementing product and fixture changes on the production line with regards to software and hardware upgrades working with multidisciplinary teams. Designed camera test suite for Datalink Scout camera and Trafficlink Camera360, to test for image quality issues brought up by extreme outdoor environments (frost, glare, flare, fogging). Test suite improved reliability and repeatability of tests.Responsible for executing Quality Control test activities and root causing/resolving field issues for both legacy products, and products in New Product Introduction (NPI) stage and post launch.Collaborated with internal teams and external vendors to implement product/fixture changes where necessary to improve scalability, user-experience, reliability and cost savings.Collected and analyzed Quality Control test yields, return rates, and top issues across Datalink.Generated Quality Dashboard reports using rolling yield charts and Pareto charts, which were used for cross-departmental access to view QC issues in production and in the field.
