Test Engineer/QA Engineer - Assembly

Job Responsibility

• Component Inspection: Conduct thorough inspections of optical components, lenses, metal barrels, and related materials to ensure they meet specified quality standards before assembly.
• Optical Testing: Utilize specialized testing equipment to verify optical characteristics, including clarity, focal length, aberrations, and coating quality.
• Dimensional Accuracy: Verify that lenses and metal components meet precise dimensional specifications using calibrated measurement tools.
• Metal Barrel Inspection: Examine metal barrels for defects, ensuring they meet the required specifications for fit, finish, and structural integrity.
• Surface Finish and Coating Inspection: Evaluate the quality and consistency of surface finishes, coatings, and treatments applied to both the optical components and metal barrels.
• Assembly Process Oversight: Monitor the assembly process to identify any deviations from established procedures or specifications, ensuring correct alignment and mounting.
• Documenting Procedures: Create and maintain detailed documentation outlining assembly procedures, quality standards, and inspection protocols specific to optics.
• Lens Centering: Verify that lenses are properly centered and aligned within optical systems to ensure optimal performance.
• Interferometric Testing: Conduct interferometric tests to assess the surface quality and shape of optical components.
• Lens Coating Inspection: Evaluate the quality and consistency of lens coatings, ensuring they meet optical specifications for reflection and transmission.
• Identifying Non-Conformities: Identify and document any non-conforming optical components, metal barrels, or processes, and work with production teams to rectify issues promptly.
• Implementing Corrective Actions: Collaborate with engineering and production teams to develop and implement corrective actions for identified quality issues.
• Cleanroom Environment Adherence: Ensure that the assembly process is conducted in a controlled and clean environment to prevent contamination of optical surfaces.
• Metrology Equipment Maintenance: Oversee the calibration and maintenance of specialized metrology equipment used for optical and metal measurements.
• Supplier Quality Management: Collaborate with procurement to assess and monitor the quality of supplied optical components and metal barrels, ensuring they meet required standards.
• Root Cause Analysis: Conduct root cause analysis to determine the underlying reasons for quality issues and implement preventive measures.
• Final Product Inspection: Perform final inspections on completed optical systems with metal barrels to ensure they meet all specified quality requirements.
• Continuous Improvement: Actively participate in quality improvement initiatives, suggesting and implementing enhancements to processes and procedures.
• Generate required: Documentation from Bills of material (BOM), Work Instructions to assembly drawings.
• Customer and Supplier Feedback: Work closely with supplier and customer to solve the quality issue.
