• Process ＆ Fabrication Inspection: Ensure all fabrication procedures conform to blueprints, GD＆T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), and structural design specifications. Mitigate dimensional deviations, weld defects, and surface coating failures.
• Customer ＆ Supplier Quality Management: Act as the primary technical interface for international customer audits, investigate product complaints, and drive Root Cause ＆ Corrective Actions (RCCA / CAPA).
• Data-Driven Improvement: Leverage core quality tools (SPC, MSA) and ERP/smart factory systems to analyze data trends, reduce internal scrap rates, and eliminate process waste.
• Team Development: Manage, mentor, and upscale the technical capabilities of quality engineers, inspectors, and metrology technicians.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree or above in Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, Industrial Engineering, or a related STEM discipline.
• Industry Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of comprehensive quality management experience strictly within the precision sheet metal fabrication / CNC processing / structural contract manufacturing environment.
• Technical Domain: Strong understanding of metal forming, robotic welding (EN15085 requirements), precision stamping, chemical surface treatments, and assembly tolerances.
• Methodologies: Certified or highly proficient in Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, 5S, Kaizen, and Core Quality Tools (FMEA, SPC, MSA).
• Audit Expertise: Proven track record of leading and successfully passing stringent customer audits from multi-national corporations (MNCs) in medical, semiconductor, or transit fields.
• Language Proficiency: Excellent command of English and Mandarin (both written and verbal) to effortlessly liaise with international clients and local production teams.
