Responsibilities

Perform pre-production, in-process, and final dimensional inspections of tooling, fixtures, fabricated components, machined parts, and assemblies.
Operate portable metrology equipment, including Hexagon ROMER Arm systems.
Use optical or laser scanning systems to capture part geometry and perform CAD-to-part comparisons.
Conduct dimensional layouts to verify location, profile, flatness, parallelism, and positional tolerances.
Measure small and large sheet-metal or fabricated structures, weldments, and tooling.
Generate and maintain dimensional inspection reports, scan reports, and measurement documentation.
Record objective evidence supporting quality records and audits.
Interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and GD&T requirements to develop measurement strategies.
Establish coordinate systems, datums, and alignment strategies for accurate inspection.
Develop or optimize measurement routines for portable CMM and scanning equipment.
Perform dimensional verification for AS9102 First Article Inspection or PPAP submissions, when applicable.
Assist with ballooned drawings and characteristic traceability.
Work with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve dimensional discrepancies.
Identify and document nonconforming conditions and support nonconformance reports (NCRs).
Provide measurement data to support root-cause investigations and corrective actions.
Maintain proper care of metrology equipment and inspection fixtures.
Ensure measurement tools remain within calibration requirements.
Follow all safety procedures and PPE requirements.
