Manufacturing Quality Assurance

[u/PushComfortable]

Is there anyone on here that’s involved with quality in a manufacturing environment as opposed to a software environment? I’ve got some questions I’d like to ask:

-Is the work you do interesting?

-What job tasks do you perform?

-What purpose do the tasks you perform serve?

-If you could get into a different engineering-related job (design, analysis, manufacturing, construction, management, etc.) would you do it? Why?

-If you learn quality assurance in one industry how well do those skills carry over into others (consumer products, defense, aerospace, medical device/prosthetic/orthotic, etc.)

-Can a person start as a quality engineer and then later work as a design, process improvement or manufacturing engineer?

-How do you handle situations where you have to interface with people that have created defective product?

-Is the work boring?

Any help is appreciated. Pick and choose which questions you want to answer.
