- Perform dimensional inspections on parts, components, and assemblies using CMM, laser scanners, height gauges, calipers, micrometers, and other precision instruments.
- Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and customer specifications.
- Conduct first article inspections, capability studies, and PPAP-related measurements.
- Prepare detailed inspection reports with accurate measurement data.
Calibration & Equipment Management
- Perform calibration of gauges, fixtures, and measurement equipment according to schedules.
- Maintain the calibration system, records, and certificates in compliance with quality standards (ISO 9001, IATF 16949).
- Identify, document, and remove out-of-tolerance tools or gauges from service.
- Coordinate external calibration services when required.
Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
- Conduct Gage R&R studies and other MSA activities.
- Analyze measurement systems to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility.
- Recommend improvements to measurement processes and equipment.
Technical Support
- Assist engineering and production teams by providing accurate measurement data for troubleshooting, product validation, and process improvements.
- Set up and program CMM inspections (PC-DMIS, Calypso, or other software depending on equipment).
- Support tooling verification, fixture certification, and process validation activities.
Documentation & Reporting
- Maintain accurate records of inspection results, calibration data, and measurement reports.
- Ensure all documentation meets customer and industry requirements.
- Support audit activities by providing calibration and measurement evidence when requested.
Continuous Improvement
- Identify opportunities to improve measurement accuracy, standardization, and equipment reliability.
- Support the development of new measurement techniques and best practices.
- Participate in quality and efficiency improvement initiatives.
