  • Complete and review inspection paperwork including First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs)
  • Raise/record non-conformances and support investigations with Production/Engineering
  • Maintain accurate inspection records and support continuous improvement on quality issues

Requirements

  • Solid inspection background in precision engineering/manufacturing (mid-skill level)
  • Confident reading engineering drawings; GD&T knowledge beneficial
  • Experience operating a CMM in a production/inspection environment (PC-DMIS helpful but not essential)
  • Comfortable making basic set-up adjustments and following existing routines; full CMM programming is not required (training can be provided for minor edits if needed)
