Job description

The Quality Inspector is responsible for performing incoming, in-process, and finished-product inspections, conducting laboratory tests, recording quality data, and identifying product defects. Ensures products meet specifications by checking dimensions, strength, packaging, and other quality requirements while supporting daily production and QC activities.

Responsibility

Incoming & In-Process Inspection

• Inspect incoming raw materials — chemicals, incoming sheets, and glue — against specification
• Perform in-process checks, including verifying glue viscosity is within specified range
• Inspect outgoing finished product against customer specification

Laboratory Testing

• Perform tensile testing, elongation testing, and pull strength testing
• Perform water absorption testing and resin content testing (checked against incoming inspection specification)
• Perform basic weight testing, cure checks, burst strength testing, and compression strength testing
• Take material measurements for lab testing using a calculator
• Record lab test results in lab files and chart results to identify trends
• Test finished goods samples every two hours; test UOB samples every Wednesday
• Prepare tensile samples for testing and allow for a one-hour lead time before testing
• Input tensile data into a spreadsheet and report any tensile failures
• Scan results and email lab data to the QC lab
