Okay, let’s tackle this. So Randy has a strong skill set in quality systems, FDA compliance, and medical devices. His experience in manufacturing and leadership roles is also a plus. Location is Franklin, MA, which is a moderate-cost-of-living area. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, quality control specialists in the Northeast region (where Franklin is located) typically earn median salaries around $65,000. However, considering Randy’s expertise in Six Sigma, which is in high demand, and his leadership experience, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $120, slightly above the national average for quality professionals in similar roles.
