• Make efficient offsets and perform tool changes to keep production flowing with minimal support.
• Launch both legacy parts and new production orders and maintain steady machine operation.
• Inspect parts visually and dimensionally using microscopes, micrometers, calipers, pin and thread gauges, comparators, Micro-Hite, CMM, and vision systems.
• Complete, maintain, and compile ISO 13485 quality documentation and records.
• Execute scheduled and routine preventive maintenance on assigned equipment.
• Troubleshoot complex machine or process issues and lead problem-solving activities.
• Control materials: identification, traceability, and segregation of conforming and nonconforming product.
• Support Good Documentation Practices and Good Manufacturing Practices and drive continuous improvement.
