QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTOR

A. Key Responsibilities 1. In-Process Quality Inspection (WIP) · Conduct roaming, random, and scheduled inspections across machining cells. · Verify critical dimensions, cosmetic conditions, and process checkpoints on WIP parts. · Ensure machinists follow job routers, process parameters, and inspection instructions. · Stop production when any dimension or cosmetic requirement falls outside specification. 2. Incoming/Returned Parts from Secondary Processes · Inspect parts returning from external secondary-process vendors (e.g., anodizing, plating, grinding, welding). · This inspection is independent of the standard incoming inspection performed by the QC Incoming team. · Perform policing checks through random or sampling inspection to catch defects before parts proceed to the next machining stage. · Segregate suspect or damaged pieces and report immediately to the QC Supervisor. 3. Non-Conformance Reporting (NCR/CAR) · Raise NCR for internal, supplier, or production-related non-conformities. · Assist in issuing CAR to relevant departments when required. · Provide clear evidence(photos, measurement readings, tags, traceability). · Follow up on NCR status until closure. 4. Measurement and Documentation · Use QC measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauge, thread gauges, pin gauges). · Record inspection results clearly and accurately in QC forms or digital systems. · Ensure full traceability of inspected parts. 5. Shopfloor Quality Support · Support machinists with clarifications of tolerances and quality requirements. · Report abnormal trends such as repeated defects or setup issues to QC Supervisor. · Assist QA team during FA/FAI verification when needed. · Maintain cleanliness and proper handling of measurement tools. D. Required Skills & Competencies · Basic understanding of machining processes (turning, milling, EDM advantageous). · Ability to read engineering drawings and interpret tolerances. · Experience using standard QC measuring equipment. · Able to identify defects such as out-of-spec dimensions, burrs, scratches, and surface damages. · Capable of self-checking and working independently. · Good communication skills with machinists, planners, QA/QC team. E. Working Conditions · 100% shopfloor presence during production hours. · May require shift or overtime depending on production schedule. · Must follow all safety and quality protocols. F. KPIs / Performance Indicators · Number of WIP inspections conducted per shift. · Accuracy and completeness of inspection records. · Timeliness and correctness of NCR/CAR raised. · Reduction in repeated defects or escapes. · Adherence to SOPs and quality standards.
