Job Overview

Supports quality assurance activities within manufacturing, focusing on real-time defect prevention and problem resolution.

Your main Tasks

• 1.Quality Control:
  •Maintain and develop the Quality Management according to IATF 16949.
  •Conduct regular inspections of injection molding processes to ensure adherence to established quality standards.
  •Perform visual inspections of molded parts for defects such as air pockets, warping, or surface imperfections.
  •Utilize measurement tools such as calipers, micrometers, and gauges to verify dimensional accuracy of molded components.
  •Implement statistical process control (SPC) techniques to monitor process variability and identify trends indicative of potential quality issues.
  2.Defect Analysis and Root Cause Investigation:
  •Investigate root causes of quality issues, including analyzing process parameters, material properties, and tooling conditions.
  •Collaborate with cross-functional teams including production, engineering, and maintenance to identify and address root causes of defects.
  •Implement corrective actions such as adjusting process parameters, modifying tooling, or updating work instructions to prevent recurrence of defects.
  3.Documentation and Reporting:
  •Maintain accurate records of quality inspection results, defect analysis, and corrective actions taken.
  •Generate reports summarizing key quality metrics such as defect rates, scrap rates, and process capability indices.
  •Communicate quality performance metrics to relevant stakeholders and provide recommendations for continuous improvement.
  4.Continuous Improvement:
  •Propose and implement process improvements to optimize injection molding parameters, reduce cycle times, and minimize waste.
  •Stay abreast of industry trends and best practices in injection molding technology, materials, and quality management systems.
  5.Training and Development:
  •Provide training and guidance to production operators on quality standards, inspection techniques, and defect prevention strategies.
  •Foster a culture of quality consciousness among team members by promoting awareness of the importance of quality in all aspects of manufacturing.

Your ideal background:

•Master's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or related field preferred.
•Proven experience in quality control within an injection molding manufacturing environment.
•Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings and specifications.
•Strong analytical skills with the ability to analyze complex problems and implement effective solutions.
•Familiarity with quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001) and quality tools such as FMEA, Pareto analysis, and DOE.
•Excellent communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with cross-functional teams.
•Detail-oriented with a commitment to accuracy and precision in quality inspections and documentation.
•Experience with statistical analysis software (e.g., Minitab) is a plus.
•Certification in Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing is desirable.
