  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to data integrity and procedural compliance.
  • Experience with FAI (e.g., AS9102) and in-process inspection planning.
  • Experience with CMM programming and knowledge of probing strategies/fixture design concepts.
  • Experience with multi-platform metrology: vision systems, structured light, comparator, and manual precision tools
  • Familiarity with NCR systems and manufacturing execution or ERP systems
  • Prior experience mentoring or training other inspectors/technicians.
