Metrology and CMM Inspection Specialist
Imagine this: A production run completes, and a critical customer deadline is on the horizon. You step in, translate complex drawings and GD&T into a metrology plan, confirm key features on the bench with calipers, micrometers, height gages, and dial indicators, then validate form and location on the CMM. You capture results, isolate a nonconformance, and work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with engineering and production to drive a corrective action—keeping quality, schedule, and customer trust intact.
Role Purpose
Guard the dimensional integrity of precision‑machined components from first article through shipment while upholding ISO 9001 standards.
