- Monitor in-process controls through the online control plans to ensure machine operators are completing the required data collection during the machining process.
- Document inspection results in accordance with the quality management system (QMS).
- Identify and document any defects or non-conformances. Ensure proper documentation of non-conformities in line with company procedures.
- Collaborate with machinists, engineers, and quality personnel to resolve inspection-related issues and improve quality.
- Ensure proper use and all measuring instruments and testing equipment are calibrated and maintained according to company standards and procedures.
- Maintain accurate inspection records and documentation traceability.
- Assists internal stakeholders with the proper set-up and operation of inspection equipment.
- Work closely with engineering, production, and quality assurance teams to communicate issues and propose solutions to improve product quality.
- Support internal and external audits as needed.
- Interpret complex blueprints, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing), and work instructions.
Qualifications:
- High school diploma or GED required, technical certification or associate degree in manufacturing, machining, or quality a plus.
- Minimum of 2-5 years of experience in quality control or inspection within the aerospace or manufacturing industry.
- Proficiency in using precision measuring instruments (e.g., calipers, micrometers, CMM), blueprint reading, and knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
- Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality systems.
- Proficient with inspection tools and measurement techniques.
- Working knowledge of First Article Inspection (FAI).
- Good verbal and written communication skills to document inspection results and communicate effectively with team members.
- Ability to work independently and within a team in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to sit or stand for long periods, lift up to 50 lbs, and perform detailed visual and hands-on inspections.
Preferred Skills:
- Experience with Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) and associated software (e.g., PC-DMIS, Zeiss Calypso).
