Sr. Engineer Quality

Quality Control & Improvement:

- Conduct RCA of recurring issues (internal/external customer), analyze & implement timely CAPA for fixing gaps to ensure no repeated issues.
- Ensure action plans from audits are implemented to close all the non-conformities.
- Ensure all laid out procedures and tests and QMS documentation are implemented as per VQS.
- Develop the Incoming Quality check plan with respect to sampling plan and at par with Customer specific requirements (for Raw materials, BOP etc.)
- Conduct rating process for suppliers on quality parameters & functional/fitment checking of parts to be dispatched.
- Ensure parts to be dispatched by plant are checked for rust, dust, dent, damage, mechanical parameters etc. and conduct final visual inspection.
- Prepare various reports (Audit, CAPA, Complaints etc.) independently.
- Analyze process to find improvements, analyse the root cause of any problem that occurred with CFT, and identify any non-value-added activities
- Choose statistical technique with optimum amount of data required to ensure adequate resources and due dates are met for test report writing, with supervisionQuality Assurance:
- Communicate the importance of the implementation of QMS procedures to all units.
- Cascade the concerned procedures to the respective process owners (Engineering, Production, PPC, Logistics, etc.)
- Design, implement and document procedures for process control, process improvement, testing and inspection, with limited supervision.
- Define metrics for measuring performance on quality parameters in units.
- Develop procedures for end-to-end quality assurance from sample collection, analysis to disposal
- Conduct audits of manufacturing process parameters, Product & System and ensure deviations are corrected
- Recognize causes and consequences of quality issues that are not readily apparent while doing cause analysis.
- Identify gaps in information and predict/gather relevant data in order to continue analysis and/or initiate suitable corrective action
- Use GD8 principles / Customer Specific formats to solve issues in the plant related to Quality of process and Product.
- Ensure Lesson Learnt, PTDB for all the failure in-house & customer are updated timely to Design team for future reference to ensure No re-occurrence of issues.Quality Systems Application:
- Understand customer quality requirements (process and product characteristics)
- Be active member in CFT for development of Process documents during the Product Planning process (Gate 0) and all steps of DFMEA
- Participate as CFT member to Calculate the SOD (Severity x Occurrence x Detection) number or risk priority number (RPN) as part of PFMEA
- Develop robust Control Plans ensuring effective SOPs and WI (Work Instructions) at par with PFMEA.Quality Alignment with New Product Development:
- Support concurrent engineering efforts by participating in design & development projects representing quality assurance and the customer
- Be part of CFT with R&D, ME team to compile the DFMEA matrix taking inputs from all team members.
- Implement if there are no new technical inputs required In case of ECN, else coordinate with PM & TC for changes
- Collect PTDB (Past Trouble Database) i.e. TGW (Things gone wrong) of earlier projects and TGR and make team members aware of the sameCustomer Complaint Management:
- Ensure process fool proofing (Poke Yoke) - Detection & Occurrence Poke Yoke
- List the no. of Poke Yoke installed in Plant
- Conduct Poke Yoke Audit at defined frequency through rabbit test (NG Sample) & Negative Validation
- Ensure all deviations are approved by Plant quality Head supported by Plant Head
- Ensure 100% On time CAPA index, Replication, plan adherence, cascading for complaints involving machine operators closure of all complaints, submission of CAPA within stipulated timeQuality Management System adherence:
- Communicate the importance of QMS procedures to all units, during roll out, implementation & updates
- Track changes in QMS implementation at plant and deal with issues if any
- Support the development and administration of the customer CAPA, internal non-conformance according to Varroc Quality Management System
- Utilize various tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the quality system including management reviews, internal audits, feedback from internal and external customers, warranty data, and traceability, etc.
- Monitor progress status against open issues of all audit engagements to ensure closure.
- Ensure retention of all customer documents as per CSR timelinesAssist QMS Head in development of QMS procedures which are aligned with Customer specific requirements
