Support inbound inspection and the disposition of non-conforming materials with Quality and Supplier teams. Manage material returns, transfers, and disposition, updating inventory systems accordingly. Monitor and maintain storage infrastructure, including racks, cabinets, controlled environments, and material protection systems. Collaborate with Production, AIT, and Engineering to resolve material availability issues that might impact build or test progress.
