Overview

Engineer - Quality responsible for incoming raw material and component quality, supplier quality, and resolving material-related rejections on the production line, in a product/equipment/engineering manufacturing setting.

What you'll do

• Understand drawing and specification requirements, and develop QC plans, MFRs and FAIs.
• Inspect incoming raw materials, components and purchased parts per defined specifications and standards.
• Verify conformance to drawings, purchase requirements and quality standards.
• Identify, document and segregate non-conforming materials.
• Coordinate with suppliers for rejection, return and corrective actions.
• Support supplier evaluation and monitor supplier quality performance.
• Conduct incoming inspection and ensure only conforming materials are released for production use.
• Develop inspection and sampling methodology and use statistical tools to develop and maintain QC programs.
• Maintain inspection records, material inspection reports and traceability.
• Ensure adherence to inspection plans, standards and quality procedures.
• Ensure proper identification and disposition of non-conforming materials (rework / return / scrap).
• Use quality tools such as 7 QC tools, 5-Why analysis and Fishbone diagrams to investigate issues.
• Assist in reducing material rejection, scrap and rework through effective analysis and actions.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives (Kaizen, Lean, 5S).
• Maintain quality documentation including inspection reports, NCRs and CAPA records.
• Ensure compliance with ISO 9001 and internal quality management system requirements.
• Support internal and external audits related to incoming material quality.
• Prepare and present quality and rejection trend reports.
• Work with manufacturing/process teams to analyze rejections on the production line caused by material issues.
• Participate in root cause analysis of material-related defects identified at the manufacturing stage.
• Support implementation of corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to eliminate recurrence.
• Provide feedback to suppliers and internal teams on material quality issues affecting production.
• Track rejection trends linked to incoming materials and drive improvement actions.

What you'll need

• B.E / B.Tech in Mechanical, Production, Industrial, Electronics or related fields.
• 3–5 years of experience in Quality, particularly in incoming quality inspection (IQA) and supplier quality (SQA).
• Experience in manufacturing sector (engineering goods, products, automotive, EMS).
• Familiarity with measuring instruments (caliper, micrometer, height gauge, etc.), analytical techniques and advanced measurement systems.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications and tolerances.
• Knowledge of NCR, rejection handling and CAPA processes.

Nice to have

• Quality certifications (ISO, Lean Six Sigma, etc.).
• Exposure to material rejection analysis and supplier coordination.
