and other automated metrology technologies\nOptimize CMM programs for accuracy, repeatability, efficiency, and inspection cycle time\nValidate new and revised CMM programs prior to production use and update programs as engineering requirements change\nTroubleshoot CMM programming, probing, fixturing, measurement, and inspection issues\nAnalyze CMM and inspection data to identify dimensional variation, trends, and potential manufacturing issues\nInterpret complex engineering drawings, specifications, GD&T requirements, and CAD models to determine product conformity\nSupport First Article Inspection (FAI), production inspection, in-process inspection, and final inspection activities\nDevelop and maintain inspection methods, inspection plans, CMM program documentation, work instructions, and standardized work\nPartner with Manufacturing and Engineering to investigate dimensional nonconformances and support root cause and corrective action activities\nProvide dimensional data and technical inspection support for nonconformance investigations\nSupport new product introduction, process development, engineering changes, and production ramp-up activities\nReview engineering changes and determine impacts to existing CMM programs, inspection methods, and measurement strategies\nIdentify opportunities to improve inspection capability, automation, equipment utilization, measurement efficiency, and overall quality performance\nCreate, review, and maintain Customer Data Packets, Certificates of Conformance (CoC), inspection records, calibration records, and other QMS documentation\nIdentify, document, and support the disposition of nonconforming material through approved quality systems\nSupport internal and external audits by providing inspection records, CMM program documentation, and evidence of compliance with AS9100 and company procedures\nEstablish and maintain best practices for CMM programming, dimensional inspection, and advanced metrology\nMentor and provide technical guidance to less experienced Quality Technicians on CMM programming, GD&T, metrology equipment, and inspection methods\nUtilize Microsoft Office applications and quality systems to maintain accurate inspection and quality records\nFollow all Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) policies, procedures, PPE requirements, and hazard reporting expectations\nMaintain a clean, organized, and safe inspection work environment\nPerform other duties as assigned\nYou have...\nEducation\nHigh school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience\nExperience\nFour (4) or more years of experience in quality inspection, dimensional inspection, metrology, or precision manufacturing\nThree (3) or more years of hands-on experience
