Work area: Quality management

Country: IN

Entry level: Professionals

Type of contract: full time

Creating Passion: Your Responsibilities

• Assembly Quality – Slewing Drive:
• Ensure 100% compliance to Assembly Work Instructions (WI), torque charts, tightening sequences, and critical-to-quality (CTQ) parameters.
• Conduct and monitor in-process inspections for sub-assemblies and final assemblies (slewing drive gearboxes, motors, seals, bearings, housings).
• Verify bearing preload, backlash, endplay, gear meshing, shim thickness, and lubrication levels as per specification.
• Develop and maintain control plans, inspection standards, and check sheets for slewing drive assembly.
• Ensure availability, calibration, and correct usage of torque wrenches, dial gauges, feeler gauges, micrometers, and other critical gauges.
• Support problem-solving (5 Why, Ishikawa, 8D) for assembly defects, leakages, fitment issues, noise/vibration issues, or test failures.
• Review first-off and special process validation for new assembly setups or engineering changes.
• Painting Quality Assurance:
• Inspect surface preparation quality: blasting profile, roughness (Ra), cleanliness (Sa), welding spatter removal, burr removal.
• Verify DFT (Dry Film Thickness), paint adhesion, hardness, gloss, color shade, curing time, contamination, and rust prevention.
• Ensure correct usage of paint material, hardener ratios, pot life, environmental conditions (humidity/temperature).
• Approve paint process parameters as per paint system requirements (primer, intermediate, topcoat).
• Conduct visual inspection as per ISO 12944 / company paint standards.
• Support paint booth audits, paint consumable control, and rework reduction.
• Handle painting NCRs, shade deviations, pinholes, orange peel, under-film corrosion, and ensure timely corrective actions.
• Testing & Functional Verification:
• Ensure functional test compliance for slewing drives:
• Operating smoothness and rotational efforts
• Support FAT/Pre-dispatch inspection with customer or internal project team.
• Validate test records and ensure full traceability against serial number and batch code.
  
• Dispatch Quality & Documentation:
• Ensure 100% inspection of finished goods before dispatch.
• Verify completeness of:
• Serial number tag
• Inspection reports
• Painting records
• Test certificates
• Ensure export packing meets customer and internal standards (VCI protection, wooden box spec, moisture control, cushioning, export marking).
• Conduct final visual audits, dimensional checks, and cleanliness verification before packing.
• Coordinate with stores and dispatch to ensure zero damage during internal handling or loading.
• Quality System, NCR Handling & Continuous Improvement:
• Lead or support NCR investigation, root cause analysis and CAPA actions for
• assembly/painting/dispatch issues.
• Ensure strict compliance to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, safety rules, and internal QMS.
• SOP/WI updates
• Inspection reports
• Calibration records
• In-process audit findings
• Drive 5S, kaizen, poka-yoke implementation, and process improvements.
