Designation: Electrical Quality Assurance Engineer

Department: Quality Assurance (QA)

Experience: 2- 6 Years (Electrical Assembly / Manufacturing Quality)

Qualification:

Bachelors/Diploma in Electrical / Electronics Engineering or related field

Role Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented Electrical QA professional responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and compliance of electrical assemblies. The role involves in-process inspections, electrical testing, defect analysis, supplier quality management, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

1. In-Process Quality Control

• Perform line inspection of electrical assemblies including wiring harnesses, PCB assemblies, connectors, and terminations
• Conduct continuity, polarity, voltage, and current checks
• Verify assembly sequence, wiring color coding, routing, labeling, and insulation as per SOP/WI
• Inspect solder joints as per IPC standards (IPC-A-610, IPC-620)
• Validate torque for connectors, terminals, and busbar fastening

2. Electrical Testing & Validation

• Perform electrical tests such as:
• Continuity testing
• Insulation Resistance (IR) testing
• Hi-Pot (Dielectric) testing
• Functional and load testing
• Validate performance of electrical components like sensors, relays, switches, PCBs, and motors
• Ensure calibration of testing instruments (multimeters, oscilloscopes, IR/Hi-Pot testers)

3. Quality Assurance Documentation

• Prepare and maintain:
• Control Plans
• Inspection check sheets
• Electrical test reports
• Calibration records
• Boundary/golden samples
• Update documents during engineering changes (ECN/ECR)
• Ensure compliance with IEC and IS standards

4. Defect Analysis & Problem Solving

• Analyze defects such as wiring errors, loose connections, short circuits, overheating, and component failures
• Perform Root Cause Analysis using 5 Why, Fishbone, and 8D methodologies
• Implement and monitor CAPA effectiveness

5. Supplier & Incoming Quality

• Inspect incoming electrical components (wires, connectors, PCBs, relays, sensors, power supplies)
• Raise supplier NCRs and track corrective actions
• Participate in supplier audits and PPAP validations

6. Process Quality & Compliance

• Ensure adherence to ESD standards, IPC/IEC guidelines, and safety protocols
• Conduct process audits and Layered Process Audits (LPA)
• Verify compliance with work instructions and SOPs

7. Testing Equipment & Gauge Management

• Maintain calibration and usage of testing equipment including multimeters, IR testers, Hi-Pot testers, and ATE
• Ensure reliability of test fixtures and error-proofing systems

8. Customer Quality Support

• Investigate customer complaints related to electrical failures
• Prepare 8D reports and failure analysis reports
• Support field teams in troubleshooting

9. Continuous Improvement (CI)

• Implement Poka-Yoke techniques for error-proofing
• Drive reduction in PPM, rework, line failures, and warranty claims
• Lead improvement projects for defect reduction and test efficiency

10. Operator Training

• Train operators on electrical quality standards, wiring practices, ESD handling, and testing equipment usage

Key Skills Required

• Strong understanding of electrical schematics and wiring harness
• Knowledge of PCB components and electrical assemblies
• Hands-on experience with multimeters, IR, and Hi-Pot testers
• Familiarity with IEC, IPC standards
• Proficiency in RCA tools (8D, 5 Why, FMEA)
• Basic knowledge of calibration and metrology
