Job Description Quality Control Engineer

Industry: Mechanical Engineering / Machinery Manufacturing / Precision Components

Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Quality Control Engineer responsible for ensuring quality compliance at every stage of the manufacturing process from incoming raw material inspection and in-process inspection to final inspection of finished components.

The candidate should have strong practical knowledge of engineering drawings, dimensional inspection, tolerances and measuring instruments with prior experience in a mechanical engineering or equipment design and manufacturing.

Key Roles & Responsibilities

• * Carry out incoming inspection of raw materials, bought-out items and job-work components received at the factory.
• * Verify incoming materials against supplier invoices/challans, purchase specifications, drawings, material grades, dimensions and quantities.
• * Ensure that the actual material received correctly tallies with the specifications and quantities mentioned in the invoice/challan.
• * Verify raw material dimensions, material specifications and relevant material/test certificates wherever applicable.
• * Perform stage-wise inspection during manufacturing to ensure components conform to approved drawings and specified tolerances.
• * Inspect components after machining operations such as CNC turning, CNC milling, conventional machining, grinding and other manufacturing processes, as applicable.
• * Prevent defective or non-conforming components from proceeding to the next stage of production.
• * Carry out 100% or sampling inspection, as specified of finished components before clearance for dispatch.
• * Verify all critical dimensions, tolerances, profiles, bores, depths, lengths, diameters and other drawing requirements.
• * Prepare and maintain inspection reports and QC records for incoming, in-process and finished components.
• * Clearly identify, segregate and report rejected/non-conforming components and coordinate with the production team for correction or rework.
• * Maintain proper traceability of inspected components and inspection status.
• * Coordinate with Production, Stores, Purchase and Management regarding quality issues and corrective actions.
• * Ensure that only QC-approved material is cleared for dispatch to customers.
• * Maintain measuring instruments properly and ensure their calibration status is valid and records are maintained.
• * Support investigation of customer complaints, dimensional deviations and manufacturing quality issues whenever required.

Measuring Instrument Experience

The candidate must have strong hands-on experience in using precision measuring and inspection instruments, including:

• * Outside Micrometer
• * Inside Micrometer
• * Vernier Caliper
• * Bore Gauge / Dial Bore Gauge
• * Depth Micrometer
• * Height Gauge
• * Dial Indicator / Dial Test Indicator
• * Slip Gauges and other precision measuring instruments

The candidate should be capable of independently selecting and using the appropriate measuring instrument depending upon the dimension, tolerance and accuracy required on the engineering drawing.

Technical Skills Required

• * Strong ability to read and interpret mechanical engineering drawings.
• * Good understanding of dimensional tolerances, limits and fits.
• * Practical knowledge of machining and manufacturing processes.
• * Ability to inspect precision-machined components independently.
• * Knowledge of basic GD&T will be preferred.
• * Ability to prepare clear and accurate inspection/QC reports.
• * Understanding of calibration and proper handling of measuring instruments.
• * Basic computer knowledge, including MS Excel and record keeping, is required.

Experience Requirements

• * Minimum 3–4 years of relevant Quality Control experience in a manufacturing environment.
• * Experience should preferably be from mechanical machinery manufacturing, precision engineering, machine components, CNC machining or similar engineering industries.
• * Candidates having only theoretical QC knowledge without practical shop-floor inspection experience will not be preferred.
• * Candidate must be comfortable working directly on the shop floor and taking independent responsibility for inspection and quality clearance.

Key Expectations

The Quality Control Engineer will be responsible for maintaining quality discipline throughout the manufacturing cycle:

Incoming Material In-Process Inspection Stage Inspection Final Inspection QC Clearance Dispatch

The candidate is expected to identify quality problems before the component moves to the next manufacturing stage or reaches the customer, thereby minimizing rejection, rework and customer complaints.

The role requires accuracy, accountability, attention to detail and a strong commitment to maintaining manufacturing quality standards.
