QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTOR

Eratech Pte Ltd; Hong Kong; On-site; HKD 180,000 - 300,000; Full time

Job summary

Eratech Pte Ltd is seeking a QC Inspector to perform in-process quality checks across machining cells and inspections on incoming parts from secondary processes. The role requires accurate measurement, attention to tolerances, and clear documentation.

You will support machinists with tolerance clarifications, report non-conformances with evidence, and maintain traceability of inspected parts on the shop floor. 100% on-site presence is expected with potential overtime as production dictates.

Qualifications

• Basic understanding of machining processes (turning, milling, EDM advantageous).
• Ability to read engineering drawings and interpret tolerances.
• Experience using standard QC measuring equipment.

Responsibilities

• In-Process Quality Inspection (WIP): verify dimensions, cosmetics, and process checkpoints; stop production if out of spec.
• Incoming/Returned Parts: inspect parts from external vendors; perform sampling; report defective pieces.
• Non-Conformance Reporting (NCR/CAR): raise NCRs for non-conformities; assist in CARs; provide evidence; follow up to closure.
• Measurement and Documentation: use calipers, micrometers, height gauge, thread and pin gauges; record results with traceability.
• Shopfloor Quality Support: advise machinists on tolerances and quality requirements; report trends; support QA during FA/FAI.

Job description

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.
