ERATECH PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 33,000 - 51,000; Full time

Job summary

ERATECH PTE. LTD. is seeking a hands-on quality inspector to perform in-process, incoming, and post-process inspections on turned and machined components.

You will verify critical dimensions, read engineering drawings, and ensure adherence to tolerances and quality standards. Responsibilities include inspecting WIP parts, coordinating with machinists and QA teams, raising NCRs, and maintaining traceable inspection records with calibrated measuring tools.

Qualifications

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Inspect parts returning from external secondary-process vendors and perform sampling inspections.
• Segregate suspect pieces and report to the QC Supervisor.
• Raise NCR for non-conformities and assist in issuing CAR to relevant departments.
• Provide clear evidence (photos, measurements, tags) and follow NCR status until closure.
• Record inspection results clearly in QC forms or digital systems for traceability.
• Support machinists with tolerances and quality requirements; report abnormal trends.
• Assist QA during FA/FAI verification and maintain tool cleanliness.

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.
