Position Summary

The Quality Technician – Assembly is responsible for executing final electrical and mechanical testing and inspection on completed switchgear, power distribution, and related assemblies prior to shipment. This role is the last line of quality verification at Assembly, ensuring all units pass functional, electrical safety, and workmanship requirements before release. The Quality Technician operates and documents results for hi-pot, insulation resistance, breaker trip, and control wiring tests and executes final visual and mechanical inspections. Supports the QC Inspector with in-process inspection activities and nonconformance documentation as workload allows.

Key Responsibilities

Final Electrical Testing & Verification

Execute final electrical testing per applicable test procedures and checklists, including:
Hi-pot (dielectric withstand) testing at specified test voltages; verify no flashover or excessive leakage current
Insulation resistance testing
Breaker trip and ground fault testing
Current transformer turns ratio testing per specified acceptance criteria
Control wiring point-to-point continuity verification per schematic
Functional testing of control power, breaker components, and associated control circuits per applicable procedures
Troubleshoot and diagnose test failures, including identifying root causes of electrical faults, wiring errors, or component issues, and escalate findings to the QC Manager.
Operate, maintain, and verify calibration status of test equipment; record calibration dates on each test report
Record all test results, measured values, and pass/fail determinations accurately on the test report; upload completed documentation per document control procedures

Final Visual & Mechanical Inspection

Perform visual and mechanical inspection checks per applicable QC procedures, including hardware installation and torque, phase labeling, control wiring anchorage, component and lug verification against BOM, and breaker function checks
Document inspection results and note any discrepancies for disposition

Inspector Support & Quality Documentation

Identify, document, and initiate NCRs when nonconformances are discovered during final testing; notify the QC Manager
Support the QC Inspector with general in-process inspection activities at Assembly as workload allows, including containment, rework verification, and disposition support as directed by the QC Manager
Maintain accurate test records and checklists in accordance with QMS procedures and document control requirements

Manufacturing Support

Work closely with manufacturing, engineering, and quality teams to resolve quality issues.
Provide feedback on recurring defects or process concerns.

Safety, Compliance & Continuous Improvement

Follow all safety policies, quality procedures, and regulatory requirements.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
Participate in continuous improvement and quality improvement initiatives.
