Divya Sundaresan — Senior Quality Engineer

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Quality engineer with seven years in automotive castings and machined components, the first two of them supervising production. Took customer PPM at a Tier-1 machining plant from 840 to 96 in two years and closed a warranty claim that had been open since 2022. ASQ-certified quality engineer and IATF 16949 internal auditor.

Experience

Senior Quality Engineer, Velmora Auto Components · July 2023 – present

Customer quality for two machining lines shipping 2.4 million parts a year to three passenger-vehicle OEMs.

  • Reduced customer PPM from 840 to 96 over two years by moving four inspection gates upstream and adding in-process bore gauging.
  • Closed a warranty claim open since 2022 through an 8D that traced the leak path to a deburring step, ending ₹62 lakh of annual debit notes.
  • Carried the plant through IATF 16949 recertification with two minor findings and no majors, against eleven findings at the previous audit.
  • Cut cost of poor quality from 2.1% to 0.9% of sales by putting containment spend on the daily plant review board.

Quality Engineer, Riyansh Precision Castings · April 2021 – June 2023

  • Rebuilt the incoming inspection plan around risk-ranked characteristics, cutting inspection hours 38% while catching three defect modes that had previously reached assembly.
  • Ran 23 supplier audits across nine foundries and lifted on-time PPAP submission from 54% to 91%.
  • Introduced Gage R&R across 40 instruments; nine measured above 30% variation and were replaced or recalibrated.

Production Engineer, Thendral Metalworks · July 2019 – March 2021

  • Supervised a 34-operator machining shift and raised schedule adherence from 78% to 94%.
  • Cut setup rejections on a CNC turning cell 62% by introducing first-article checks at every shift change.

Why this Quality Engineer résumé works

  • Results are stated in the units a Tier-1 customer quality manager tracks: customer PPM from 840 to 96, cost of poor quality from 2.1% to 0.9% of sales, and IATF 16949 findings cut from eleven to two minors.
  • The 8D bullet names the root cause, a deburring step, and the money it ended, “₹62 lakh of annual debit notes”, which shows structured problem solving finished rather than started.
  • The Thendral Metalworks production role stays on the page, with a 34-operator shift and schedule adherence lifted to 94%, giving the later containment and inspection work its shop-floor credibility.
  • Credentials are layered by weight: ASQ Certified Quality Engineer, IATF 16949 internal auditor and an ISO 9001 lead auditor, each matching a keyword supplier quality job posts filter on.

Quality Engineer résumé: common questions

What should a quality engineer resume include?

The quality metrics you moved (PPM, COPQ, audit findings, on-time PPAP), the core tools you used (APQP, PFMEA, control plans, MSA, 8D) and your audit credentials. For automotive roles, name IATF 16949 explicitly, since recruiters search for it.

Should a quality engineer resume in India show percentage marks?

For mid-level roles one line with the degree score, such as 78.4%, is common and harmless. After about ten years it can be dropped; experience and certifications carry the page.

How do you show an 8D on a quality engineer resume?

In one bullet: the problem, the root cause found, and the measured effect, such as debit notes ended or PPM reduced. Skip listing every discipline; the reader wants to see that the problem stayed closed.
