Job description

Perform incoming, in-process, final, and shipping inspections of electric motor components and finished products. Inspect materials such as wire, laminations, shafts, bearings, housings, insulation, fasteners, and other components. Use engineering drawings, specifications, inspection plans, work instructions, and visual standards to evaluate product conformity. Perform dimensional inspections using calipers, micrometers, gauges, height gauges, indicators, and other measuring equipment. Conduct or support electrical, mechanical, visual, and functional tests as required. Verify motor characteristics such as resistance, continuity, insulation integrity, lead connections, dimensions, torque, vibration, or other specified requirements. Record inspection and test results accurately in quality forms, databases, ERP systems, or other documentation. Identify, segregate, label, and document nonconforming materials or products. Notify production, engineering, supervisors, and quality personnel of defects, process abnormalities, or specification deviations. Support containment, rework, corrective-action, and nonconforming-material activities. Assist with root-cause investigations and data collection for quality issues. Perform audits of standardized work, process documentation, labels, materials, and production records. Verify calibration status and proper use of inspection and test equipment. Support gauge control, equipment checks, and measurement-system activities. Assist with first-piece, setup approval, process verification, and product-release activities. Monitor compliance with quality procedures, customer requirements, and applicable standards.
