Job description

ROLE

• Monitor and control quality across SMT, THT, assembly, soldering, testing and final inspection, ensuring adherence to Quality Control Plans, SOPs and inspection standards through regular process audits and layered checks.
• Maintain daily in‑house rejection and rework data, prepare Pareto and trend charts by product, process, defect type and line, and drive corrective action on recurring issues.
• Track internal, process and customer PPM, maintain product‑wise dashboards and coordinate with Production, Process Engineering and Supplier Quality to close gaps against targets.
• Own rework traceability and disposition of rejected boards, and troubleshoot failed PCBs, BMS and chargers using visual inspection, multimeter, oscilloscope, solder joint checks and functional testing to identify failure modes.
• Support the Customer Quality team on customer complaints and field failure analysis, participate in RCA, 8D and CAPA activities, and provide data and evidence needed for customer responses and visits.
• Lead structured problem solving using 5Why, Fishbone, Pareto, 8D and Fault Tree Analysis, validate root causes with data and physical evidence, and ensure corrective actions are deployed across similar products and processes.
• Maintain accurate quality databases, build daily, weekly and monthly dashboards covering FPY, rejection percentage, rework percentage, COPQ and complaint status, and use Excel Pivot Tables for analysis and reporting.
• Work closely with Production, Process Engineering, Test Engineering, Design, Supplier Quality, NPI and EMS partners to identify issues independently and drive actions to closure.
• Ensure lessons learned from customer complaints are incorporated into in‑process controls.
• Drive reduction in in‑house and customer PPM, improve first‑pass yield, and reduce rejection and rework percentages.
• Achieve timely RCA, 8D and CAPA closure with elimination of repeat defects and improve process compliance across manufacturing lines.

REQUIREMENTS

• B.E., B.Tech or Diploma in Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical, Mechatronics or a related engineering discipline.
• 5 to 7 years of relevant experience in in‑process quality, manufacturing quality or customer quality support, preferably in electronics, automotive, EV or EMS manufacturing.
• Strong hands‑on experience with PCB and PCBA quality, failure analysis and root cause analysis.
• Good working knowledge of the 7 QC tools: 5Whys, Fishbone, Pareto Analysis, 8D and CAPA.
• Practical understanding of SMT and THT processes, soldering defects and electronic component handling.
• Excellent analytical, communication and documentation skills; ability to work independently and across functions.
• Strong command of Excel for data analysis, dashboards and Pivot Tables.
• Experience with ISO9001 or IATF16949 quality management systems.
• Working knowledge of FMEA, Control Plan, SPC, MSA and Poka‑Yoke.
• Exposure to APQP and PPAP concepts and IPC standards.
• Certification or training in 8D, IATF16949, Six Sigma or similar quality methodologies.
• Background in EV, BMS, EV charger, automotive electronics or power electronics manufacturing.
• Willingness to travel to EMS and customer locations when required.

BENEFITS

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional development and growth.
