Top Interview Questions & Answers (OQA / Senior Quality Engineer)

1. Can you explain your experience in Outgoing Quality Assurance (OQA)?

Answer:
I have managed complete OQA processes including final product inspection, OQC checklist creation, ELT testing, reliability verification, and shipment release. I ensure that products meet CTS, regulatory, and performance standards before dispatch. I also coordinate with production, R&D, and Field QA to resolve deviations quickly.

2. What steps do you follow during OQC inspection?

Answer:
My OQC process typically includes:

1. Reviewing the control plan & standard inspection parameters

2. Conducting visual inspection

3. Functional testing (including ELT, temperature performance etc.)

4. Documentation in inspection reports

5. Blocking non-conforming units and raising NC reports

6. Ensuring CAPA closure before release

3. What is ELT Testing and why is it important?

Answer:
ELT (Endurance / Electrical Load Test) ensures electrical safety, wiring reliability, insulation strength, compressor load capability, and power consumption performance. It validates long-term durability and ensures the product can safely operate under rated loads.

4. How do you perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA)?

Answer:
I use 5 Why, Fishbone Diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, and process mapping. I collect data, identify failure patterns, validate root causes, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement effective CAPA. I also verify effectiveness through trend monitoring (3F/CTS).

5. What types of CAPA have you implemented in OQA?

Answer:
Some examples include: improving jig/fixture accuracy, updating inspection standards, modifying component tolerances, revising supplier quality requirements, and enhancing ELT test procedures. I ensure CAPA is measurable, time-bound, and validated.

6. How do you reduce recurring defects in the outgoing line?

Answer:
By analyzing defect trends (3F defects, DPPM, ELT failures), identifying weak process controls, improving operator training, tightening inspection parameters, and validating CAPA effectiveness. Data-driven actions are essential.

7. How familiar are you with ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 / OHSAS 18001 standards?

Answer:
I have hands-on experience in maintaining and auditing these systems. I ensure process compliance, documentation, calibration records, risk assessments, environmental controls, and worker safety adherence.

8. What methods do you use for reliability testing?

Answer:
I have experience with:

• Life-cycle testing

• Environmental chamber tests

• Compressor load tests

• High–Low Voltage tests

• Burn-in testing

• Vibration and stress analysis

These help in predicting failure rates and improving long-term performance.

9. How do you coordinate with Field QA or service teams?

Answer:
I review field failure data, defect trends, and feedback reports. I recreate field issues in the lab, work with suppliers and design teams, and implement CAPA to prevent reoccurrence. I also track warranty cost impact.

10. How do you handle calibration and certification activities?

Answer:
I ensure all inspection and testing equipment is calibrated as per schedule, maintain calibration records, and audit tools for drift. I also support BIS, CE, and internal certification compliance.

11. Describe a major quality problem you solved.

Answer:
(Example) We faced recurring cooling performance failures in CR products. I led the RCA, identified refrigerant charge variation, improved charging equipment accuracy, updated SOPs, and validated the solution through a 500-unit reliability test. Field complaints dropped by 70%.

12. Why do you want to join Haier Appliances India?

Answer:
Haier is a global leader known for strong quality culture, world-class manufacturing, and innovative appliances. The Commercial Refrigeration division offers an excellent platform to apply my OQA, reliability, and problem-solving skills while contributing to consistent customer satisfaction.
