Quality Control Technician – Mechanical

The Mid-Level QC Technician – Mechanical is responsible for independently performing in-process and final inspections of mechanical components and assemblies. This role involves applying technical knowledge to verify compliance with engineering drawings, quality plans, and industry standards, and identifying root causes for non-conformance.

Key Focus Areas:

✅ Dimensional & Visual Inspection

• • Perform accurate measurements using vernier calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, height gauges, etc.

  • Inspect fabricated, machined, and assembled components against technical drawings

  • Check surface finish, weld quality, and dimensional tolerances

✅ In-Process & Final Quality Checks

• • Conduct stage-wise inspections during machining, fabrication, and assembly

  • Monitor critical parameters during production processes

  • Perform final product inspection before dispatch, including visual and functional checks

✅ Documentation & Compliance

• • Prepare and maintain inspection reports, deviation records, and control charts

  • Ensure proper tagging, traceability, and filing of quality records

  • Support documentation for ISO, IATF, ASME, or customer audits

✅ Problem Identification & Resolution

• • Identify non-conformances, raise NCRs, and participate in root cause analysis

  • Work with production and QA engineers to implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)

  • Recommend process adjustments to avoid recurrence of quality issues

✅ Tools, Calibration & 5S

• • Ensure calibration of measuring instruments before use

  • Maintain inspection tools in good condition and organized per 5S standards

  • Support periodic tool validation and documentation

Roles & Responsibilities:

• • Independently carry out inspection of mechanical parts and sub-assemblies

  • Ensure adherence to quality standards, tolerances, and inspection checkpoints

  • Coordinate with production and QA for inspection hold points and releases

  • Support supplier part inspection and incoming quality control (IQC) if required

  • Participate in internal audits, quality improvement initiatives, and training sessions

Qualifications:

• • Diploma / ITI in Mechanical / Production / Tool & Die / Quality Technology

  • 3–6 years of experience in mechanical QC within a manufacturing or fabrication industry

Key Skills:

• • Strong knowledge of mechanical drawings, symbols, and tolerancing (GD&T)

  • Proficient in using mechanical inspection instruments and gauges

  • Familiarity with welding standards (if applicable) and surface finish evaluation

  • Exposure to ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 or similar quality systems

  • Basic understanding of statistical tools (R&R, control charts, 7QC tools)

Preferred Certifications (Optional):

• • NDT Level II (UT, MPI, LPT)

  • Internal Auditor for ISO 9001

  • Familiarity with ASME / AWS codes (for fabrication-related industries)

Working Conditions:

• • Shop-floor and inspection lab environment

  • PPE and safety compliance required during inspections

  • May involve shift duty and extended working hours during audits or delivery phases
