Job Description

Job Description: QA/QC ExecutiveRole Overview

As a QA/QC Executive, you will act as the vital gatekeeper of quality on the production floor. You will be responsible for end\-to\-end quality inspection—from evaluating incoming substrate metals and raw powders to monitoring in\-process plasma spray parameters and validating final microscopic/mechanical coating characteristics. Your objective is to ensure that every treated component meets rigid customer blueprints and international engineering standards.

**Location:** Taloja MIDC, Navi Mumbai
**Employment Type:** Full\-time, Permanent
**Reporting To:** QC Head / Plant Head
**Experience Level:** 1–3 years in manufacturing, machine shops, or surface engineering/coating environments

Key Responsibilities1\. In\-Process \& Coating Inspection

**Pre\-Spray Assessment:** Perform visual and dimensional inspections of incoming substrate components before processing. Verify surface preparation metrics (e.g., grit blasting profile, surface roughness, and absolute cleanliness) before the plasma spray application.
**In\-Process Monitoring:** Ensure that thermal spray operational parameters match the approved Quality Assurance Plan (QAP).
**Post\-Coating Inspection:** Conduct rigorous visual checks for surface defects such as micro\-cracks, peeling, overspray, and uneven layers.
**Thickness Verification:** Measure finished coating thickness using specialized non\-destructive testing (NDT) gauges (magnetic, eddy\-current) and precision micrometers.

2\. Metallurgical Laboratory Support

**Sample Preparation:** Assist the lab team in preparing metallographic test coupons (cutting, mounting, and polishing samples).
**Microstructure Analysis:** Conduct basic porosity analysis, microstructure evaluation, and micro\-hardness testing under the guidance of the QC Head.
**Adhesion Testing:** Perform bond strength and destructive/non\-destructive adhesion testing on sample coupons to validate run parameters.

3\. Documentation, QMS \& Traceability

**Log Management:** Accurately record inspection results in daily quality logs, route sheets, and material test certificates (MTC).
**Non\-Conformance (NCR):** Isolate, log, and tag Non\-Conforming Products. Raise flags for necessary rework and track the completion of Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
**Traceability:** Maintain airtight material and process traceability for high\-stakes batches destined for aerospace, automotive, or heavy industrial clients.

4\. Instrument Calibration \& Safety

**Tool Calibration:** Perform daily verification and calibration routines on precision measuring instruments (Vernier calipers, micrometers, dial gauges, and profile meters).
**Safety Adherence:** Strictly follow plant safety regulations, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) mandatory for thermal and plasma spray environments.

Required Qualifications \& Skills

**Education:** ITI, Diploma, or B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical, Metallurgy, or Production Engineering.
**Experience:** 1 to 3 years of hands\-on quality control experience in a thermal spray (Plasma, HVOF, Wire Arc), surface coating, welding, or precision heavy engineering facility.
**Technical Skills:**
Proficiency in reading and interpreting complex engineering drawings, industrial blueprints, and welding/coating symbols.
Expertise with micrometers, Vernier calipers, surface roughness testers, and coating thickness gauges.
Familiarity with Quality Management Systems like **ISO 9001** (knowledge of **AS9100** for aerospace or **IATF 16949** is a massive plus).
**Preferred Certifications:** ASNT Level II in Non\-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods like Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT) or Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT).

Key Soft Skills

**Extreme Attention to Detail:** An exceptional eye for microstructural anomalies or minor surface variations.
**Uncompromising Integrity:** A quality\-first mindset with the professional confidence to halt production or reject parts failing to meet customer specifications.
**Clear Communication:** Effective written and verbal skills to accurately convey defect reports to production supervisors and operators.
**Benefits:** PF (Provident Fund), ESIC/Health Insurance coverage, paid time off, and continuous upskilling opportunities in advanced metallurgical lab testing.

Pay: ₹20,000\.00 \- ₹30,000\.00 per month
