Key Responsibilities: Quality Testing & Inspection: Supervise and perform testing of pressure cookers and cookware for durability, performance, safety, and compliance. Ensure all test methods are aligned with national and international standards (e.g., ISO, BIS, ASTM). Monitor pressure retention, sealing integrity, material strength, non-stick coating performance, thermal efficiency, and ergonomic assessments. Documentation & Compliance: Maintain detailed records of test procedures, results, deviations, and corrective actions. Ensure products meet regulatory and safety compliance requirements for target markets (e.g., BIS certification in India). Prepare documentation for audits, certifications, and customer inspections. Lab Operations & Management: Manage day-to-day operations of the QC lab, including calibration and maintenance of test equipment. Develop, review, and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and quality manuals. Manage a team of lab technicians and quality inspectors, providing training and performance oversight. Continuous Improvement: Analyze test results to identify trends and recommend improvements in manufacturing processes or product design. Collaborate with R&D, production, and procurement teams to resolve quality issues and improve product robustness. Lead root cause analysis and implement corrective/preventive actions (CAPA). Supplier Quality: Coordinate with suppliers and vendors to ensure incoming materials meet specifications. Conduct supplier audits as necessary and support the development of SOPs for supplier quality standards.
