About the Role

We’re looking for someone who knows how to keep a shop floor honest—someone who understands aluminium profiles, tolerances, machining accuracy, and what “good” looks like in a solar frame line. This role isn’t about paperwork alone; it’s about catching problems before they become rejections.

You’ll be the first line of defence for quality. If an incoming batch isn’t right, or a machine is drifting out of tolerance, you’ll pick it up. And you’ll have the confidence to call it out.

Key Responsibilities

Incoming Material QC

• Inspect aluminium extrusion profiles (long, short, key profiles) as they arrive.
• Check dimensional accuracy, surface finish, die lines, twist/bow, hardness, temper, and weight variance.
• Verify supplier documentation: QA certificate, BIS license (if applicable), and agreed specs.
• Reject or segregate non-conforming material and prepare NCRs.
  

In-Process QC

• Measure cut lengths, hole positions, punch accuracy, stamping quality, and burr-free finish on the running line.
• Conduct random sampling and full-batch checks as needed.
• Ensure corner key fitting dimensions match assembly tolerances.
• Confirm machines (saws, punching presses, CNC fixtures) are calibrated and running within limits.
• Monitor scrap patterns and highlight abnormal scrap generation.
  

Final QC

• Inspect assembled short frames and full sets before packing.
• Check right-angle accuracy, parallelism, twist, and overall frame alignment.
• Approve or reject finished lots based on the QC checklist and standards.
  

Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain QC check sheets (daily/shift-wise).
• Prepare NCR reports and follow up on correction with production.
• Maintain supplier-wise quality history and trend data.
• Coordinate with production, PPC, and stores on quality-related issues.
  

Skills & Requirements

• Solid understanding of aluminium extrusion quality parameters.
• Proficiency in using vernier calliper, micrometer, height gauge, angle gauge, hardness tester, and other QC instruments.
• Ability to read technical drawings and understand tolerances (GD&T preferred).
• Experience in fabrication or machining-based QC is a strong plus.
• Strong communication and reporting skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving production environment.
  

What We’re Looking For in a Person

• Someone who doesn’t guess—measures everything.
• Someone who’s not afraid to stop a line if quality is slipping.
• Someone disciplined, observant, and steady under pressure.
• Someone who understands that quality isn’t a department; it’s a culture.
  

Qualification

• Diploma / B.Tech in Mechanical, Production, Industrial Engineering, or similar.
• QC certifications are an added advantage.
  

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Performance-based incentives.
• Growth opportunities in a rapidly scaling solar component business.
