Quality Engineer

We are hiring Quality Engineer with a strong background in mechanical manufacturing and inspection. The candidate will be responsible for ensuring that manufactured components and assemblies meet the required dimensional, functional, and quality specifications as per German engineering designs, drawings, standards, and customer requirements.

The candidate will primarily be involved in quality inspection of parts used in the manufacturing of Hot Stamping Machines and Tube Printing Machines.

Key Responsibilities

• Inspect incoming, in-process, and final manufactured components as per approved German engineering drawings and specifications.
• Read and interpret mechanical drawings, GD&T, dimensional tolerances, surface finish requirements, and technical specifications.
• Carry out dimensional inspection of machined, fabricated, turned, milled, and assembled components.
• Verify components against drawings using appropriate measuring instruments such as:
• Vernier Caliper
• Micrometer
• Height Gauge
• Bore Gauge
• Dial Gauge
• Thread Gauges
• Bevel/Angle Gauges
• Other precision inspection equipment
• Ensure that components manufactured for Hot Stamping and Tube Printing Machines conform to specified dimensions and tolerances.
• Identify deviations, defects, and non-conformities and coordinate with production and engineering teams for corrective action.
• Prepare and maintain inspection reports, quality records, rejection reports, and non-conformance reports (NCRs).
• Conduct first-piece, in-process, and final inspection.
• Support root-cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions for quality issues.
• Coordinate with production, design, purchase, and vendors to resolve quality-related issues.
• Inspect vendor-supplied components and ensure compliance with approved drawings and specifications.
• Maintain inspection equipment and ensure measuring instruments are properly calibrated.
• Support continuous improvement activities to reduce rejection, rework, and customer complaints.
• Ensure proper documentation and traceability of inspected components.
• Communicate effectively with engineering and production teams regarding drawing requirements and quality concerns.
