This role requires strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with hands‑on experience in quality tools, root cause analysis, and cross‑functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

Quality Assurance & Inspection

• Perform first‑article, in‑process, and final inspections for CNC‑machined and moulded components.
• Ensure compliance with engineering drawings, GD&T, and customer specifications.
• Operate and program quality inspection equipment, including 3D scanners, CMM, height gauges, callipers, pin gauges, and microscopes.

Quality Systems & Compliance

• Support ISO/AS quality management system requirements, ensuring documentation and traceability are maintained.
• Develop inspection plans, control plans, and quality checklists for new and existing parts.
• Conduct regular audits of machining and moulding processes.

Problem Solving & CAPA

• Perform detailed root cause analysis for non‑conformances and implement effective Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
• Liaise with internal stakeholders (production, engineering, supply chain) to resolve quality issues in a timely manner.
• Engage directly with customers to address quality concerns, communicate findings, and build strong technical relationships.

Continuous Improvement

• Drive initiatives to improve yield, reduce scrap, and enhance process capability.
• Recommend and implement improvements in machining, measurement, and quality control methods.
• Train operators and technicians in quality standards, tools, and inspection practices.

Requirements

Education

Experience

• Minimum 3–5 years of quality control experience in CNC machining or precision manufacturing environments.
• Proven exposure to diverse materials such as plastics, rubbers, steels, aluminium, and rubber moulding.
• Ability to speak and read Mandarin, as may need to deal with Mandarin‑speaking stakeholders.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in using quality inspection tools (3D scanner, CMM, height gauges, callipers, pin gauges, microscopes).
• Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and metrology.
• Hands‑on knowledge of ISO 9001 or other quality standards.

Analytical & Soft Skills

• Strong problem‑solving and root cause analysis skills (e.g., 8D, fishbone, 5 Whys).
• Experience in implementing CAPA effectively.
• Excellent communication skills to liaise with both internal teams and customers.
• High attention to detail, organised, and process‑driven.
