Job Description – Sr Quality Engineer (Engineering/Manufacturing – Solids & Automation Technologies)

Job Title: Senior Quality Engineer – Fabrication, Welding, Assembly, FAT & Trials

Department: Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Reporting To: Quality Manager
Location: [Insert Location]

Job Purpose:

To oversee the quality of fabrication, welding, in-process activities, assembly, Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), and performance trials. Ensure that all engineering equipment and systems meet technical, dimensional, and functional specifications before delivery to customers.

Key Responsibilities:1. Fabrication & Welding Quality

· Inspect fabricated components such as screw conveyors, silos, hoppers, bin activators, mixers, and ducting assemblies.

· Verify dimensional accuracy, fit-up, and visual standards of fabricated parts as per engineering drawings.

· Monitor welding operations: WPS adherence, weld joint preparation, root pass inspection, and final weld finish.

· Identify weld defects (undercut, porosity, cracks) and coordinate repair and rework.

2. In-Process & Stage-Wise Inspection

· Conduct in-process inspection during sub-assembly and fabrication stages.

· Approve key checkpoints before moving items to next process (machining, painting, assembly).

· Ensure quality plans/checklists are followed at each stage.

· Maintain records of stage inspections and deviations.

3. Assembly & Functional Testing

· Inspect final assembly of mechanical, pneumatic, and automation components.

· Validate alignment, fitment, bolt torqueing, sensor mounting, and panel connections.

· Ensure component-level and system-level checks (e.g., valve actuation, screw rotation, mixer blade clearance).

· Check cleanliness, painting, and aesthetic finish.

4. Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) & Trials

· Coordinate and conduct FAT along with customer and project teams.

· Prepare FAT checklist, protocols, and test setup in advance.

· Ensure trial operation (dry or live test) for screw conveyors, mixers, vibrators, diverter valves, etc.

· Log performance parameters, vibrations, leakage, and function test results.

· Get client sign-off and ensure all test certificates are filed.

5. Non-Conformance & Corrective Actions

· Raise NCRs for fabrication defects, weld failures, or functional non-conformities.

· Collaborate with production for immediate rework or rectification.

· Support root cause analysis and implement CAPA.

· Track NCR closure and update quality reports.

6. Documentation & Reporting

· Prepare inspection reports, weld maps, FAT protocols, calibration logs, and quality dossiers.

· Ensure traceability of materials and components used in assemblies.

· Support internal audits and client document submission.

· Maintain equipment-wise and project-wise quality records.

Key Skills & Competencies:

· In-depth understanding of fabrication, welding (MIG, TIG, ARC), and assembly processes.

· Skilled in interpreting fabrication drawings, weld symbols, and GD&T.

· Proficient in using inspection instruments: vernier, gauges, DFT meter, spirit level, welding fillet gauges, etc.

· Knowledge of WPS, PQR, visual inspection techniques, and dimensional QC.

· FAT coordination, trial testing and client-facing inspection experience.

· Strong documentation, NCR management, and communication skills.

Qualifications & Experience:

· Education: Diploma / B.E. in Mechanical or Production Engineering.

· Experience: 5–8 years in quality inspection of fabricated engineering equipment with hands-on exposure to welding, assembly, and FAT.

Working Conditions:

· Shopfloor-based role with regular exposure to fabrication, welding, and trial areas.

· Coordination with design, production, and project teams.

· Involvement in client inspections and FATs.

· May include extended hours or urgent support during trials or dispatch readiness.
