• Support AS9100 / ISO 9001 compliance and participate in internal audits

• Solid command of standard measurement tools: calipers, micrometers, CMM, height gauges, etc.
• Strong blueprint reading skills including GD&T
• Familiarity with AS9100 / ISO 9001 quality management systems
• Organized, detail-obsessed, and able to manage multiple inspection queues under deadline pressure
