For more than 50 years, we have been the global leader in home automation and a pioneer in smart living solutions. Innovation drives our daily operations and ensures the excellence of our products and services.\nWe are present in 59 countries, supported by a global industrial and logistics network, and operate 17 R&D centers worldwide.\nDeeply committed to the well-being of our approximately 6,000 employees, we invest in their long-term employability through internal mobility and skills development. We actively promote diversity and inclusion, supported by a strong corporate culture.\n 1. Role overview\nThe Quality Technician operates within Mass Production Quality and autonomously applies approved quality methods, inspection standards and technical specifications to routine operational situations. The role protects product and process conformity by carrying out inspections, supporting product and process validations, maintaining reliable records and measurement equipment, applying approved containment or deviation instructions, and escalating risks and non-conformities to the appropriate Quality authority.\n2. Proposed mission\nGuarantee the timely and reliable inspection and validation of products and processes by applying approved control instructions, control plans, process flows, technical specifications and applicable quality requirements; ensure the correct use of inspection equipment; support containment, deviation and problem-solving activities; and provide accurate evidence for conformity decisions made by the designated Quality authority.\n3. Main responsibilities\nApply inspection instructions, control plans, acceptance criteria, process flow diagrams and applicable quality procedures.\nPerform technical inspections of products, components, batches and processes using the defined methods and approved equipment.\nRead and interpret drawings, ISO-GPS dimensional tolerances, technical specifications, samples and inspection documentation.\nUse relevant information from Design FMEA and Process FMEA to understand identified risks, critical characteristics and the controls required in routine activities.\nSupport the execution of product and process validation plans, including Safe Launch activities, and accurately record the results and supporting evidence.\nVerify that inspection equipment is suitable, available, clean, correctly stored and within its calibration or verification status.\nRecord inspection and validation results accurately and maintain traceability of checks, samples, batches, deviations and decisions.\nIdentify, segregate and report non-conforming products or processes according to the established escalation procedure.\nSupport quarantine and containment actions internally or externally, including blocking batches, changing production lots or launching sorting activities when required and authorised.\nApply and monitor approved temporary deviations, ensuring correct identification, traceability, compliance with defined conditions and escalation before expiry.\nParticipate in the implementation and verification of approved product, process or inspection-method changes, confirming that the latest documentation is used.\nProvide inspection data and technical findings to the Quality team to support communication with suppliers, customers or other external partners; do not independently approve deviations, release non-conforming product or close external claims.\nRegister, update or consult non-conformities and claims in the applicable quality management systems, including TEEXMA or INTERCO where used locally.\nSupport recurring-defect analysis and contribute factual data to 8D, problem-solving and continuous-improvement activities.\nContribute to lessons learned by documenting recurring issues and proposing updates to inspection standards, control instructions and quality knowledge bases.\nApply relevant product and process requirements, including applicable RoHS, REACH, UL or other customer, legal and regulatory requirements defined for the inspected scope.\nFollow safety, cleanliness, 5S, product-handling and environmental requirements in inspection areas.\nEscalate any anomaly or risk that could affect product conformity, validation status, delivery commitments or the customer promise.\n4. Performance indicators\nInspection service rate and percentage of inspections completed within the required deadline.\nRate of non-conforming batches or products detected during inspection.\nAccuracy, completeness and traceability of inspection records.\nNumber of inspection errors, missed defects or unjustified rejections.\nResponse time for segregation, quarantine and escalation of non-conformities.\nCompliance of inspection equipment with storage, cleanliness and calibration requirements.\nContribution to reduction of recurring defects, sorting activities and quality incidents.\n5. Target recruitment profile\nThe ideal candidate is a rigorous and attentive technical professional who can follow standardized inspection methods while remaining alert to abnormalities and risks.
