Can you take a drawing, create a CMM program and prove the part is right? We want to hear from you.
Own day-to-day inspection of precision CNC turned and milled components. Initially you’ll work largely independently, with the opportunity to help shape the department and build a team around you.
THE WORK
- First-off, in-process and final inspection against drawings and GD&T.
- Create and safely prove out new CMM programs, set up parts and run existing programs.
- Use micrometers, verniers, bore/depth/height gauges and shadowgraphs.
- Own inspection priorities, traceable records and customer quality queries.
- Prepare FAIRs to customer requirements within an AS9100 quality environment.
- Perform internal calibration of standard hand tools, maintain records and coordinate specialist calibration.
- Resolve non-conformances and discuss corrective actions and concessions with production and customer QA teams.
