- Provide first-level technical support to Production, Engineering, Quality, Warehouse, and other users,

- Troubleshoot QDM issues and coordinate with IT or QDM expert for complex problems,

- Manage user accounts, access rights, and system configurations according to company procedures.

3. QDM Configuration:

- Configure and maintain QDM products, routing, process flow, operations, workstations, recipes, production parameters, and production rules,

- Create and maintain manufacturing routes for new products and engineering changes,

- Update QDM configurations according to approved engineering changes and customer requirements,

- Verify and validate system configuration before releasing it to production.

4. Production Traceability:

- Maintain and improve end-to-end traceability from material/component → PCBA → Box Build → finished product,

- Support Quality and Engineering teams in retrieving traceability data for customer complaints, audits, and investigations.

5. System Integration:

- Support integration between MES and other factory systems, including: AOI/SPI, ICT/FCT/ATE, MT/THT equipment, Barcode/2D code systems, …

- Monitor data communication between QDM and machines/systems,

- Troubleshoot data transfer and interface issues.

6. Production Process Support:

- Work closely with Manufacturing Engineering and Production to ensure QDM correctly reflects actual manufacturing processes,

- Support QDM implementation for SMT, THT/DIP, Assembly, Testing, Rework, and Box Build processes,
