Quality Assurance Officer

We are seeking a detail-oriented and quality-focused Powder Coating Testing Technician to join our team. The role involves testing, inspecting, and documenting the performance of powder-coated products to ensure compliance with industry standards, customer specifications, and internal quality requirements. The ideal candidate will have experience in coating application, quality control, and testing procedures such as adhesion, hardness, thickness, gloss, and corrosion resistance.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform routine and specialized testing of powder-coated parts and panels, including:

• Coating thickness measurement (DFT)

• Adhesion (cross-hatch or pull-off methods)

• Hardness (pencil, scratch, or impact resistance)

• Gloss and color measurement (spectrophotometer)

• Salt spray, humidity, and corrosion resistance testing

• Chemical and solvent resistance testing

• Prepare and maintain test panels for validation and production control.

• Record, analyze, and report test results in accordance with quality standards.

• Assist with troubleshooting coating defects such as orange peel, pinholes, chipping, and poor adhesion.

• Support continuous improvement initiatives related to powder coating performance and durability.

• Ensure compliance with ISO, ASTM, and customer-specific standards.

• Calibrate and maintain testing equipment.

• Work closely with production, engineering, and quality teams to address coating-related issues.

• Maintain a clean and safe laboratory/work environment.
