Develop and refine inspection workflows to improve efficiency, optimize part flow, and establish clear inspection criteria and documentation.
Serve as the primary decision-maker for part acceptance or rejection, collaborating with engineering, production, and quality teams to resolve issues and implement corrective actions.
Continuously evaluate and improve inspection procedures, leveraging automation and best practices to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
Maintain a clean, organized, and compliant inspection area, ensuring all measurement tools and equipment are properly calibrated, maintained, and in working order.
Develop and maintain high-quality documentation, including metrology protocols, inspection reports, and quality manuals, to support compliance and continuous improvement initiatives.
Train and mentor team members on inspection techniques, quality standards, and proper tool usage to maintain consistency and accuracy.
Job requirements
Must-Haves:
5+ years of experience in part inspection, quality control, or manufacturing, with a strong understanding of GD&T, interpreting engineering drawings, and quality standards (ISO 9001, AS9100).
Proficiency in precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges, CMM) and experience in FAI, PPAP, Gauge R&R and non-conformance documentation.
Strong problem-solving skills, including the ability to develop measurement strategies, establish robust and reliable measurement setups, and deliver structured clear data to inform decision-making.
Experience collaborating with engineering, production, and quality teams to drive continuous improvement.
Strong attention to detail, organization, and communication skills, with the ability to train and mentor others.
Nice-To-Haves:
Experience in aerospace, automotive, medical device, or precision manufacturing sectors.
Experience working in startups or lean teams, demonstrating adaptability and resourcefulness in dynamic environments.
Proven experience in building and leading teams specializing in high-precision measurements
Familiarity with both low- and high-volume manufacturing technologies, allowing for informed recommendations on design changes aligned with manufacturing constraints
Proficiency in quality frameworks for resolving complex technical issues, including Six Sigma, 8D Problem Solving, Ishikawa (Fishbone Diagram), Statistical Process Control (SPC), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and the 5 Whys methodology.
