About The Position

Proficiently and independently operate a laser tracker in heavy manufacturing environments. Perform precision metrology using laser trackers to measure machines, fixtures, tooling, large assemblies, and complex structures in support of aerospace manufacturing and engineering requirements. Develop clear, accurate, and visually effective inspection reports that include written summaries, 3D visualizations, point cloud data, and dimensional tables. Ensure all measurement activities comply with safety standards, operating procedures, and regulatory requirements. Collaborate closely with manufacturing, engineering, and quality teams to clarify measurement requirements, resolve dimensional issues, and support production schedules. Work effectively across departments—such as Quality Assurance, Program Management, Manufacturing Engineering, and Production—to align on priorities, coordinate measurement tasks, and contribute to cross functional problem solving. Communicate clearly with teammates and other stakeholders to share updates, highlight concerns, and ensure smooth workflow transitions. Maintain continuity across shifts by thoroughly documenting work performed, communicating abnormalities, and noting ongoing needs or follow up actions. Follow all documented AS9100 procedures, work instructions, and inspection standards to ensure compliance with aerospace quality requirements. Verify product conformity by performing dimensional and visual inspections according to approved drawings, specifications, and control plans. Ensure measurement data integrity by properly controlling, calibrating, and maintaining laser trackers and all associated inspection equipment per AS9100 requirements. Accurately record and maintain inspection data, nonconformance reports, and quality documentation in accordance with AS9100 record keeping standards. Identify, document, and communicate nonconforming conditions, ensuring proper segregation and control of nonconforming product. Support corrective and preventive action processes by providing measurement data, participating in root cause discussions, and verifying effectiveness of implemented actions. Participate in internal and external audits by providing inspection records, demonstrating process adherence, and supporting audit questions related to measurement and quality control. Assist in continuous improvement activities related to inspection processes, tooling verification, metrology methods, and quality system performance. Support organizational goals by taking ownership of new tasks, adapting to changing project needs, and identifying opportunities to enhance efficiency and quality. Perform additional duties as assigned to support manufacturing, quality, or engineering teams.
