About the role

Quality Inspector supporting the data center Supplier Quality Specialist (SQS) team, owning day-to-day MRB operations at Memphis data centers, reviewing nonconforming hardware, coordinating testing, documenting nonconformances, submitting RMAs, and packaging/shipping parts back to vendors.

Responsibilities

  • Own day-to-day MRB operations at Memphis data centers: intake of nonconforming hardware, proper labeling and segregation, designated storage, inventory accuracy, and timely disposition.
  • Review hardware flagged by site operations; verify the reported condition, confirm identification (P/N, S/N, location, ticket), and ensure the unit is held, documented, and dispositioned before it re-enters service or inventory.
  • Coordinate functional and network testing with network engineers, or perform tests yourself when qualified, to confirm failures prior to RMA.
  • Compile supporting documentation (photos, serials, logs, test results, tickets, and packing details) and submit RMA / return-to-vendor requests.
  • Package nonconforming parts for return to vendor and coordinate outbound shipment, including paperwork, labeling, and pickup/carrier handoff.
  • Verify trace information on nonconforming units and ensure nonconformances are documented completely (part number, serial number, date code/lot, location, failure description, and associated ticket IDs).
  • Ensure nonconforming parts remain labeled and stored properly in MRB, aging holds actioned timely, and stalled items escalated to data center SQS.
  • Partner with the data center Supplier Quality Specialist on containments, vendor communications, and data needed for root cause and corrective/preventive action.
  • Maintain accurate records in issue-ticket and quality systems; keep MRB status visible to operations, supply chain, and SQS stakeholders.
  • Support quality management system policies and procedures for nonconforming material control; identify process gaps and help close them.
