A quality control technician is responsible for developing quality benchmarks, inspecting, and monitoring the manufacturing process to ensure quality measures are met. They identify issues in the product lifecycle and address them. There are multiple quality control techniques that involve either preventing or troubleshooting problems in the product.
To become a quality control technician you don’t need postsecondary education. However, some employers might require you to have industry-relevant licenses or certifications. You might also receive on-the-job training. You can provide a high-school diploma or a GED certificate.
