Lab Technicians

🔬 Material Testing

•Perform chemical composition analysis using spectrometer or wet lab techniques.

•Conduct physical and mechanical testing (tensile, hardness, impact, etc.) on castings.

•Analyze and record microstructure using metallurgical microscopes.

•Conduct non-destructive testing (NDT) such as dye penetrant and magnetic particle testing if qualified.

🧾 Sample Preparation & Documentation

•Prepare test specimens from castings as per standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO).

•Maintain detailed records of all test results and ensure traceability.

•Label, store, and dispose of samples in compliance with lab protocols.

📊 Data Reporting & Analysis

•Enter test results into the system and report deviations to QA/QC Manager.

•Support root cause analysis of defects by providing metallurgical and test data.

•Assist in preparation of quality certificates and test reports for customers.

🧼 Lab Maintenance & Calibration

•Ensure cleanliness, organization, and safety in the laboratory area.

•Maintain testing equipment, conduct routine calibrations, and report malfunctions.

•Ensure all lab procedures comply with safety and environmental guidelines.

👨‍🔬 Support for Production & Quality Teams

•Provide real-time testing feedback during production runs and process trials.

•Assist in validation of new alloys, process changes, and customer-specific requirements.

•Participate in quality audits and help respond to customer queries.

📌 Qualifications & Requirements:

•Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Metallurgy, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related technical field.

•2–5 years of experience in a metallurgical or materials testing lab (preferably in a foundry or heavy industry).
