• Implement and maintain the quality management system (QMS) and ensure adherence to relevant industry standards and customer specifications for carbon fiber products.

• Develop clear and comprehensive quality control procedures, work instructions, and testing protocols for each stage of the production process.

• Conduct regular audits of production processes and equipment to ensure compliance with quality standards.

Testing & Inspection:

• Perform a variety of physical, mechanical, and chemical tests on raw materials, in-process samples, and finished carbon fiber products according to established protocols.

• Utilize and maintain laboratory equipment and testing instruments, ensuring their calibration and proper operation.

• Accurately record and analyze test data, identify deviations from specifications, and document non-conformances.

• Conduct visual inspections for defects and ensure products meet aesthetic and functional requirements.

Feedback Loop Management:

• Establish and maintain effective communication channels with production teams to provide timely feedback on quality issues and trends.

• Participate in root cause analysis investigations for non-conformances and quality failures.

• Document and track corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to address identified issues and prevent recurrence.

• Collaborate across teams to implement process improvements based on quality data and feedback.

Continuous Improvement Initiatives:

• Identify opportunities for process optimization and quality enhancement through data analysis and observation.

• Monitor key quality metrics and track the effectiveness of implemented improvements.

• Stay updated on the latest advancements in carbon fiber production, testing methodologies, and quality management practices.

Documentation & Reporting:

• Maintain accurate and organized quality records, including test results, inspection reports, non-conformance reports, and corrective action logs.

• Prepare regular reports on quality performance, highlighting key metrics, trends, and areas for improvement.

• Assist in the preparation of documentation for customers and regulatory bodies.

Training & Support:

• Provide training and support to production personnel on quality standards, testing procedures, and best practices.

• Promote a culture of quality awareness and accountability throughout the organization.
   

Skills & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science, Quality Assurance, or a related technical field.

• Minimum of 2-4 years of experience in a QA/QC role within a manufacturing environment, preferably with exposure to advanced materials or composites (carbon fiber experience is a significant plus).

• Strong understanding of quality management principles and methodologies (e.g., ISO 9001).

• Hands-on experience with various material testing methods and equipment (e.g., tensile testing, microscopy, chemical analysis).

• Proficiency in data collection, analysis, and statistical process control (SPC) techniques.

• Excellent attention to detail and a strong commitment to accuracy.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to identify root causes of quality issues.
