Quality Control Engineer –Copper Clad Laminates

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Quality Control Engineer will be responsible for incoming material inspection, in-process quality checks, and finished laminate testing across the CCL manufacturing plant. This role requires deep familiarity with IPC standards, raw material specifications, and laminate test procedures.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Incoming Material Inspection

- Inspect and qualify incoming glass fabric: weave style, GSM, thickness, width, defects (filling breaks, knots, weave distortions)

- Test incoming ED copper foil: thickness (oz/m²), surface quality, oxidation, bond strength

- Inspect prepreg for resin content, flow, gel time, and volatile content

- Maintain raw material test records and release/rejection documentation

In-Process Quality Control

- Monitor treater line output: resin pickup %, volatile content, and prepreg flow characteristics

- Check dimensional parameters during press operation: thickness tolerance, bow, twist

- Track press cycle parameters and correlate with quality outcomes

Finished Laminate Testing

- Conduct peel strength testing per IPC-TM-650 methods

- Perform Tg measurement using DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) or TMA

- Measure dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) per IPC standards

- Conduct thermal stress testing (solder float / thermal shock) for reliability evaluation

- Test surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and appearance inspection of finished laminates

Systems & Documentation

- Maintain quality records, SPC charts, COA (Certificate of Analysis), and NCR logs

- Drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) for recurring defects

- Support customer audits, IPC conformance documentation, and lab accreditation activities

CANDIDATE PROFILE

Experience

- 3-10 years in quality control in CCL, PCB, composites, or laminates manufacturing

- Hands-on lab testing experience with laminate and copper foil characterisation

- Working knowledge of IPC standards (IPC-4101, IPC-TM-650 test methods)

Technical Skills

- Proficiency with instruments: DSC, TMA, peel tester, LCR meter, impedance analyser

- Knowledge of glass fabric weave classifications and defect identification

- Familiarity with UL 94, IPC-4101C, and halogen-free laminate standards

- Experience with SPC tools and quality management systems (ISO 9001)

Education

- . / in Chemical, Polymer, Electronics, or Materials Engineering

Critical Requirement: Must be familiar with: IPC-4101 laminate specifications, IPC-TM-650 test methods, and standard lab procedures for peel, Tg, Dk/Df, and thermal stress testing.
