Core Responsibilities
- Read and interpret complex blueprints/specs; identify materials, finishes, and tolerances
- Calculate derived dimensions (angles, radii, etc.) using formulas and shop mathematics
- Verify features using CMMs and precision instruments: micrometers, calipers, V‑blocks, sine bars, dial indicators, gauge blocks, height gages, levels/protractors, optical comparators, bore gages, ultrasonic equipment, profilometer
- Conduct first‑run and first‑article inspections on fabrications and assemblies
- Perform surface-plate setups; establish reference points and centerlines
- Document inspection outcomes; produce clear, defensible reports
- Analyze defects, determine probable causes, and recommend corrective actions
