Job Summary

The Quality Inspector is responsible for ensuring that all sheet metal products and assemblies conform to approved engineering drawings, customer specifications, and quality standards. The role involves inspection of incoming materials, in-process manufacturing, and final products, ensuring compliance with dimensional, visual, and functional requirements while supporting continuous improvement and defect prevention across manufacturing operations.

Key Responsibilities

Inspection & Quality Control

Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections of sheet metal components including laser-cut, turret-punched, bent, welded, and assembled parts. Inspect dimensions, tolerances, surface finishes, bend angles, hole locations, flatness, and weld quality as per drawings and specifications. Verify conformity to engineering drawings, GD&T, BOMs, control plans, and work instructions. Conduct visual inspections for defects such as burrs, cracks, warping, scratches, and welding imperfections.

Measurement & Testing

Use precision measuring instruments such as vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, angle gauges, radius gauges, thread gauges, and measuring tapes. Perform first article inspection (FAI) and record results as per quality procedures. Ensure calibration status and proper handling of measuring instruments.

Documentation & Reporting

Prepare and maintain inspection reports, non-conformance reports (NCR), and quality records. Document inspection results clearly and accurately in manual or digital systems (ERP/QMS). Assist in preparation for customer audits and internal quality audits.

Non-Conformance & Continuous Improvement

Identify non-conforming products and segregate defective materials to prevent unintended use. Support root cause analysis and corrective/preventive action (CAPA) activities. Collaborate with production, engineering, and quality teams to reduce defects and improve process capability.

Compliance & Safety

Ensure compliance with ISO 9001 or applicable quality management systems. Follow all company safety procedures and maintain a safe, organized inspection area. Support implementation of 5S and lean manufacturing practices.

Required Qualifications

Diploma / ITI / Technical Certification in Mechanical, Production, or Manufacturing Engineering (or equivalent experience). 2-5 years of experience as a Quality Inspector in a sheet metal manufacturing environment. Strong understanding of sheet metal fabrication processes and quality requirements.

Technical Skills

Reading and interpretation of engineering drawings and GD&T symbols Knowledge of sheet metal fabrication processes (cutting, bending, welding, finishing) Proficiency in dimensional inspection and visual inspection techniques Understanding of tolerance limits and fitment requirements Familiarity with first article inspection (FAI), in-process inspection, and final inspection

Quality & Process Knowledge

Working knowledge of ISO 9001 quality management systems Understanding of non-conformance handling, root cause analysis, and CAPA Basic knowledge of control plans, process flow diagrams, and inspection checklists Exposure to lean manufacturing and continuous improvement practices
