This role suits a hands-on quality professional with strong coordination and problem-solving skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Customer Quality Interface
• Serve as the primary contact for customer quality complaints and issues related to liquid-cooling products.
• Respond promptly to customer concerns, clarify the problem, establish priorities, and coordinate the appropriate response.
• Maintain clear and professional communication with customers regarding containment measures, investigation progress, corrective actions, and closure.
• Build customer confidence through timely responses, structured follow-up, and effective issue resolution.
• On-Site Quality Containment and Sorting
• Mobilize and coordinate resources for on-site sorting, inspection, rework, or containment activities at customer or warehouse locations.

• Coordinate activities with customer quality teams, Delta factories, suppliers, and third-party sorting providers.
• Monitor sorting progress, inspection results, defect rates, and containment effectiveness.

• Assign clear owners and deadlines for containment, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and verification.
• Escalate critical issues promptly and mobilize management support when necessary.
• Drive actions to completion rather than simply forwarding customer complaints to internal departments.
• Root-Cause Analysis and Corrective Actions
• Coordinate structured root-cause investigations using appropriate problem-solving methods, such as 8D, 5 Why, Ishikawa diagrams, and failure analysis.
• Collect and consolidate customer feedback, defect evidence, inspection data, and factory investigation results.
• Ensure corrective and preventive actions address the actual root cause rather than only the immediate symptom.
• Follow up on implementation and verify the effectiveness of corrective actions before closing issues with customers.
• Quality Reporting and Governance
• Maintain a clear record of customer complaints, containment status, sorting results, root causes, corrective actions, and closure dates.
• Prepare regular quality updates for customers and internal management.
• Track key indicators, including response time, complaint closure time, defect rates, sorting effectiveness, and recurrence of issues.
• Identify recurring quality problems and drive preventive improvements across products, factories, and suppliers.
• Product and Process Learning
• Develop working knowledge of Delta's liquid-cooling product portfolio, including cold plates, CDUs, manifolds, and related components.
• Learn relevant manufacturing processes, inspection methods, and quality requirements.
• Understand the basic functions of liquid-cooling systems sufficiently to communicate customer issues accurately and coordinate the right technical experts.
• Work with product engineering and manufacturing teams to improve understanding of failure modes and quality risks.
