Job Description

Key Responsibilities

1) Casting Inspection

Review

foundry certificates

(chemical composition, mechanical properties) vs. standards and drawing notes. Conduct

dimensional verification

of casting features using gauges, Trimos height gauge, and CMM (where applicable). Check

surface quality

: porosity, cold shuts, shrinkage, misruns, fins/flash, laps, and surface finish per acceptance criteria. Verify

NDE/NDT

compliance (e.g., radiography/UT/PT/MT) when specified; review reports and disposition. Confirm

heat treatment

, hardness, and microstructure requirements per drawing/spec. Record

defects by location

; use standardized defect codes and capture photos for traceability. Raise

NCRs

for nonconformities; coordinate with supplier for corrective actions (8D/5-Why).
2) Machining Inspection

Interpret

engineering drawings

: GD&T (datums, positional tolerance, flatness, perpendicularity), tolerances, thread specs, surface roughness. Perform

in-process and final inspection

of critical dimensions using micrometers, vernier calipers, bore gauges, plug gauges, thread gauges, radius gauges, surface roughness tester, height gauge, and CMM. Validate

fixture setup

and reference datums before measurement. Verify

machining operations

(e.g., drilling, tapping, turning, milling) for burrs, chamfer, deburring, and cleanliness. Conduct

first-off inspection

and approve machining programs/tool offsets (where applicable). Record

measurement results

and ensure traceability to

part ID, batch, process, and instruments

.
3) Visual Inspection

Apply

standard visual acceptance criteria

(e.g., scratch, dent, rust, burr, pit, surface finish). Ensure

marking/engraving

(part number, heat number, batch, revision) is correct and legible. Check

coating/painting/shot blasting

quality, thickness, adhesion per spec. Use

controlled lighting

and cleanliness standards for inspection areas.
4) Vendor Quality Inspection (Incoming & Source)

Conduct

incoming inspection

of supplier parts per AQL/sample plan and drawing/spec. Perform

source inspection

at vendor location when required; verify process controls and calibration. Review

supplier quality documents

: COA/COC, PPAP/FAI reports, capability studies, calibration certificates. Log

supplier performance KPIs

: incoming PPM, on-time quality, NCR rate; drive

CAPA

with 8D. Support

supplier audits

and process validations.
5) CMM Inspection (Coordinate Measuring Machine)

Create and run

CMM programs

as per drawing and GD&T requirements; set datums correctly. Conduct

part alignment

, probing strategy selection (touch-trigger/scanning), and validate measurement routines. Perform

GR&R

for CMM measurement systems when required. Maintain

CMM calibration status

, environmental controls, and probe qualification records. Generate

CMM inspection reports

with ballooned drawing correlation.
6) Trimos Height Gauge Handling

Set up

Trimos

with proper surface plate, squareness checks, and probe settings. Measure

heights, distances, runouts, flatness

, and perform

2D feature checks

reliably. Conduct

daily verification

using master blocks/rings; record results.
7) Basic Instrument Handling & Care

Use and care for

calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, dial indicators, slip gauges, angle/feeler gauges, thread/plug gauges, surface roughness testers

. Perform

zeroing and daily checks

with master standards; document any drift. Ensure

instrument calibration

is valid; isolate OOT (out-of-tolerance) instruments. Store instruments in

controlled conditions

and follow handling SOPs.
8) SPC (Statistical Process Control)

Select

critical to quality (CTQ)

characteristics; establish

control charts

(X-R, p/np, c/u as applicable). Collect

real-time data

; monitor trends, detect

special/common causes

, and take

timely corrective actions

. Calculate

process capability

(

Cp, Cpk

) and drive improvements with production/engineering. Present

SPC dashboards

for weekly reviews; update control limits as process stabilizes.
9) MSA (Measurement System Analysis)

Plan and execute

Gage R&R

(crossed/nested) for key instruments and CMM; target acceptable %GRR (<10% preferred). Conduct

bias, linearity, and stability

studies where relevant. Document

MSA plans/reports

and drive improvements (training, method standardization, fixture changes).
10) Documentation & Traceability

Maintain

inspection plans

,

check sheets

,

ballooned drawings

,

SOR/SOPs

, and

ISIR/FAI

reports. Ensure

batch/lot traceability

, serialization, and retention of

test certificates

. Create

NCRs

,

deviation permits

,

concession requests

, and

CAPA

records. Prepare

daily/weekly quality reports

: defects, rework, PPM, first-pass yield, top issues, actions.
11) Safety, Compliance & Continuous Improvement

Follow

EHS

guidelines (PPE, handling heavy castings, ergonomic measurement setups). Comply with

ISO 9001/TS 16949

requirements (as applicable). Participate in

root cause analysis

(5-Why, Fishbone),

Kaizen

, and

standardization

of methods. Train operators on

critical measurement techniques

and

visual standards

.
