Hours per week: 40
Duties: Quality Assurance Specialist GS-1910-11
• Serve as a member of a multi-functional technical team as a resident QAS at one or more supplier facilities. The nature of the contracts and products (their complexity, end-use, specifications) requires the specialist to provide risk based surveillance of supplier quality systems and processes from contract award to contract completion.
• The specific type, intensity and frequency of surveillance activities vary with the each process and associated risk management, which will involve analyzing exposure to various risk factors and determine how to handle such exposure.
• Perform pre-award duties when requested by customers, and accepts products and services for the U.S. Government.
• Review contracts and technical data packages to identify the specification requirements which the contractor's processes must meet. I identify differences between contract technical requirements and current contractor processes. I establish a requirement baseline for the processes performed by the contractors.
• Establish and maintain communications with contractor's top management, including applicable functional managers such as production, engineering, and QA personnel early in the contracting cycle to ensure understanding exists for acceptable quality evidence for performance of such things as purchased materials and vendor controls, shipment, and key process proofing/measurement and analysis.
• Establish and maintain a communications channel with the Contracting Office and Program Management Office as necessary. Notifies contracting offices and specifies preparing activities of deficient contract and technical requirements.
• Review and ensures flow-down of contract requirements to the contractor's inspection system and/or quality management system to validate that the contractor has the processes for properly extracting and translating these requirements into the appropriate inspection, test, engineering, production, manufacturing, packaging/marking, shipping, purchasing, and receiving functions.
• Review and ensure equipment, material, people, environment, methods, and other inputs to new/changed production/manufacturing processes and associated process controls to assure that contractual technical requirements are met for new/modified items or for products transitioning from design to production.
• Assess the contractor's purchased material/vendor QA controls. Reviews contractor's make or buy decisions for new contracts for new items. I identify procured items/services which are complex, critical, or have bad quality histories. Reviews/analyzes contractor/ vendor QA data and adjusts receiving process/product audits accordingly.
• Selectively requests Government QA at subcontractor level to verify adequacy of prime contractor controls, when necessary. Determines when alternative procedures are appropriate or uses as directed (e.g., Alternative Release Procedures, Certificate of Conformance).
• Conduct Quality Assurance risk management and assessment. Designs, plans and implements an effective risk management program to ensure that all threats to the successful delivery of the contract are addressed and mitigated in the Government’s best interests.
• Perform risk assessments and analyses, relying on relevant customer, supplier performance, and Government data and assigns risk ratings to quality systems and key processes. I ensure compliance with higher level quality contract requirements, performing risk planning to address specific contract, customer and DCMA policy requirements.
• During planning, considers the use of existing credible data, the need for verifications of key quality system elements to validate data, and/or the need for full or partial system auditing.
• Prepare surveillance plans tailored to a level of detail appropriate to the size, complexity and criticality of a supplier’s facility and contracts. Plans address both system and process level surveillance methods.
