🔍 Final Inspection & Testing

•Perform detailed final visual inspection of castings for surface defects including cracks, blowholes, porosity, cold shuts, shrinkage, etc.

•Verify dimensional tolerances using calibrated instruments (e.g., vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, templates, and CMM if applicable).

•Cross-check against customer drawings, 3D models, and technical specification sheets.

•Conduct mechanical testing verification (e.g., hardness checks using Brinell/Rockwell testers).

•Carry out non-destructive testing (NDT) if trained and qualified — such as MPI, LPI, or UT — and interpret results accurately.

•Confirm that all machining, fettling, and coating processes have been completed to specification.

🗂️ Documentation & Quality Records

•Complete final inspection reports, release notes, and NCR (Non-Conformance Reports) with root cause indications.

•Maintain traceability through batch records, material heat numbers, and inspection status tagging.

•Review and verify compliance of product-related documents such as MTCs (Material Test Certificates), dimensional inspection reports, and final QC checklists.

•Ensure proper documentation is maintained for ISO 9001 or customer audits.

🤝 Coordination & Quality Assurance

•Collaborate with production, machining, fettling, and dispatch teams to ensure proper product flow and segregation of non-conforming items.

•Coordinate with QA/QC Engineers to review corrective actions for repetitive quality issues.

•Support internal and external audits, and facilitate third-party inspection visits.

•Assist in first article inspections (FAI), pre-dispatch inspections (PDI), and sample approvals.

🧭 Compliance & Continuous Improvement

•Ensure finished goods conform to internal quality standards, customer specifications, and regulatory requirements (ASTM, ISO, EN, DIN, etc.).

•Participate in RCA (Root Cause Analysis) and CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) initiatives.

•Promote a culture of quality awareness and 5S practices within the finishing and dispatch area.

•Report recurring inspection failures and suggest improvements in process or operator training.

📌 Qualifications & Requirements:

•Diploma or B.Tech in Mechanical/Metallurgy/Production Engineering or equivalent technical field.

•Minimum 2–5 years of experience in final product quality inspection in steel foundry, iron casting, or precision machining industry.

•Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, GD&T, and casting specifications.

•Skilled in using conventional and digital measuring instruments.

•Knowledge of casting defects and root cause classification.

•Certification in NDT Level II (MPI, UT, LPT) is an advantage.

•Familiarity with quality management systems (ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949) and ERP-based inspection workflows.
