IPQC Engineer

About the role

This role involves performing in-process inspection and production audits, dimensional measurement, process monitoring, non-conformance control, failure analysis, quality documentation and team coordination in a manufacturing environment.

Key responsibilities

• Perform first-piece, in-process and last-piece inspections according to approved inspection plans and production requirements
• Verify product dimensions, appearance, surface finish and other specified characteristics at relevant machining stages
• Conduct production floor audits to confirm operators use correct drawing revisions, work instructions, inspection methods and measuring equipment
• Interpret engineering drawings, dimensional tolerances and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) requirements
• Perform dimensional checks using suitable equipment, including vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, thread gauges, profile projectors and Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM)
• Monitor machining processes for quality risks such as tool wear, incorrect offsets, fixture movement, burrs, deformation and surface damage
• Identify, record and report products or processes that do not meet specified requirements
• Collect measurement data, photographs, defect samples and production information to support failure analysis
• Prepare and maintain inspection reports, first-piece approval records, line audit reports and non-conformance records
• Work closely with machinists, production supervisors, programmers and engineers to resolve quality issues promptly

Job Requirements

• Diploma or Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Proficiency with dimensional measurement equipment including vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, thread gauges, profile projectors and Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM)
• Knowledge of quality risk control and process monitoring in machining environments
• Experience with non-conformance control and failure analysis methods such as 5 Why and fishbone analysis
• Ability to maintain accurate inspection records and quality documentation according to document control requirements
