- Conduct gage calibration and maintain accurate records in Gage Track software
- Audit production quality at every phase of manufacture and document findings clearly
- Partner with engineers and machinists on root cause analysis and continuous improvement
- Develop and maintain detailed in-process and final inspection reports
- Support AS9100 / ISO 9001 compliance and participate in internal audits

- Strong blueprint reading skills including GD&T
- Familiarity with AS9100 / ISO 9001 quality management systems
