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 robust 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 safe 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.
Solid 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 solid knowledge of manufacturing processes and quality control.
