Role & responsibilities

Quality Control & Testing Nickel-Cadmium Battery Manufacturing

- Ensure the quality of positive and negative plate active materials according to approved chemical specifications.
- Inspect raw materials, including nickel-plated steel strips, for thickness, tensile strength, and perforation accuracy.
- Conduct laboratory testing of KOH and Lithium Hydroxide solutions to ensure chemical purity and prevent contamination.
- Monitor manufacturing processes, including powder briquetting, material dosing, pocket formation, strip folding, and crimping, to maintain product quality.
- Inspect welding, bolting, and plate group assembly to ensure strong and reliable electrical connections.
- Perform leak testing and sealing inspections of battery containers.
- Ensure compliance with applicable standards, including IEC 60623, IS 10918, and IEC 62259.
- Supervise battery formation, capacity (Ah) grading, internal resistance (IR) testing, and high-rate discharge testing.
- Conduct Final Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) with customers, railway departments, public sector utilities, and EPC clients.
- Maintain Quality Management Systems (QMS) in accordance with ISO 9001,



ISO 14001, and ISO 45001.
- Ensure protected handling of nickel, cadmium, and chemicals while maintaining workplace hygiene and environmental compliance.
- Maintain inspection records, manage non-conformities, implement corrective actions, and drive continuous quality improvement.
- Strong knowledge of roll and punch technologies, stamping operations, mechanical press tooling, and steel strip perforation inspection.
- Hands-on experience with battery cycling equipment, charge-discharge rectifiers, and chemical laboratory testing, including titration, density measurement, and material analysis.
- Proficiency in core quality tools and methodologies, including PPAP, APQP, FMEA, SPC, and MSA. Six Sigma Black Belt certification is highly desirable.

Preferred candidate profile

- Qualification: B.Tech. or Diploma in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering.
- Experience: 15+ years of relevant experience in Ni-Cd battery manufacturing, NCPP battery manufacturing, or the automotive industry, with strong knowledge of manufacturing processes and quality control.
