The Ceramic QC Lab role is responsible for operating a quality assurance lab based on existing testing systems and developing new testing methodologies. This role requires learning and applying QC testing methods, working independently to solve ceramic-related problems, maintaining attention to detail, and finding methodologies for conducting various tests.
Responsibilities:
Conduct QA Tests on Raw Materials: Perform QA tests on incoming raw materials and during their storage period, especially for materials with long storage times.
Monitor Ceramic Quality: Conduct QC tests to monitor ceramic quality throughout preparation, mixing, and printing stages.
Data Reporting: Input results to engineers at workstations and maintain direct communication to ensure consistency between measurement results and observed results in the field.
Improve Testing Methodologies: Continuously learn and enhance testing methods to refine results, ensuring up-to-date status analysis that matches results from different workstations.
Develop and Operate Monitoring Systems: Establish and operate a monitoring system for ceramic quality, accounting for calendar, process changes, equipment changes, and quality correlations between raw materials and batch variations.
Receive guidance from the Chemistry and Process teams to support QC methods.
Create Efficient QC Systems: Develop additional methods for an efficient QC system that provides an up-to-date quality status for ceramics, enabling troubleshooting without halting the process or workstations (e.g., material correction, refreshing, and adjusting working conditions to align material quality with the process).
