Quality Engineer

Role Overview Responsible for incoming, in-process, and final quality inspection of precision mechanical components, gear-cutting, heat treatment, assembly, and testing of industrial or automotive gearboxes. Key Responsibilities Incoming Inspection: Inspect raw materials, forgings, castings, and purchased parts using standard and precision measuring instruments (Vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, slip gauges). In-Process & Gear Metrology: Check gear parameters using specialized equipment (gear rolling testers, profile/lead testers, coordinate measuring machines - CMM). Heat Treatment Verification: Monitor and verify case depth, surface hardness (Rockwell/Vickers hardness testers), and metallurgical structures. Documentation & Compliance: Maintain Inspection Reports (IR), Material Test Certificates (MTC), Dimensional Reports, and Non-Conformance Reports (NCR). Root Cause Analysis: Drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) using 8D, 5-Why, and Fishbone diagram methodologies. Quality Standards: Ensure adherence to ISO 9001 , IATF 16949 (for automotive), or AGMA/DIN gear standards. Required Qualifications & Skills Education: B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Experience: 2 to 6 years of hands-on quality control experience specifically in gear manufacturing, transmission, or heavy precision machining industries . Technical Skills: Proficient in CMM programming/operation and blueprint/GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) reading. Experience with gear inspection tools (tooth thickness micrometer, involute profile checker). Knowledge of calibration systems and SPC (Statistical Process Control).
