The candidate must have high attention to detail, strong traceability discipline and the confidence to hold nonconforming products based on objective evidence. Pasted text (2)
Selection Process
Shortlisted candidates should be prepared for a practical technical assessment covering:
Engineering drawing & GD&T interpretation
Balloon drawing and inspection planning
CMM datum alignment and measurement strategy
FAI / PPAP documentation review
Casting/forging inspection and defect identification
Root-cause analysis of dimensional and machining quality problems Pasted text (2)
