Track and report key lab KPIs (turnaround time, first-time-right rate, testing backlog, etc.) to leadership.
Coordinate with Production, QA, R&D, and Supply Chain to align testing schedules with manufacturing timelines.

General & Additional Duties

Assist with other lab or quality tasks as assigned to support department and company objectives.
Perform other duties as assigned.
