Quality engineering is the discipline of engineering concerned with the principles and practice of product and service quality assurance and control. In software development, it is the management, development, operation and maintenance of IT systems and enterprise architectures with a high quality standard.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Engineers ensure the quality of their products by participating in each stage of a product’s creation. QA/QC Engineers not only uphold the standards of their company, they must also adhere to quality and safety standards required by federal and state law.
QA/QC Engineers often work in the factories or offices of technology companies. They report to company executives and also supervise their own employees. QA/QC Engineers are vital to many leading industries, including aerospace, architecture, automotive, electronics, and computer hardware and software engineering.
