• Perform high‑precision dimensional inspections using FARO Arm to validate parts against CAD models and engineering drawings.
• Develop, execute, and maintain inspection programs for First Article Inspection (FAI), in‑process verification, and final inspection.
• Must be able to create programs for new parts to support NPD activities.
• Ability to integrate measurements into workflows.
• Generate and analyze inspection outputs including deviation reports, color maps, and point cloud comparisons.
• Interpret GD&T requirements to establish datums, inspection strategies, and acceptance criteria.
• Proficient with precision measuring equipment including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, profilometers, WFT and DFT gauges.
• Document and report inspection results, including any non‑conformities, in accordance with company's IMS (Integrated Management System).
• Identify and document non‑conformances; support root‑cause analysis and corrective actions with engineering and production teams.
• Maintain accurate inspection records and prepare reports (including FAIR/AS9102 when applicable).
• Ensure FARO equipment is properly maintained, calibrated, and compliant with certification requirements.
• Support internal audits, customer audits, and quality system compliance (ISO 9001 / AS9100 as applicable).
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by identifying trends in dimensional variation and process capability.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required; technical certification in metrology, CMM, or FARO operation preferred.

Technical Skills

• Strong proficiency with FARO hardware and inspection software (PolyWorks, FARO CAM2, Verisurf, or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of GD&T with ability to build inspection plans from drawings and CAD models.
• Experience with inspection reporting, deviation analysis, and dimensional validation workflows.
• Proficient in conventional inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, etc.).
• Familiarity with quality systems (ISO 9001, AS9100 preferred).
• Working knowledge of SPC and data analysis tools is a plus.

Soft Skills

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
• Problem‑solving mindset with ability to support root‑cause analysis.
• Effective communication across quality, engineering, and production teams.
• Ability to work independently in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.

• Experience in sheet metal fabrication or welded assemblies.
• Exposure to quality management systems.
• Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI) or pilot builds.
• Lean / Six Sigma exposure (preferred but not required).

Key Success Metrics

• Accuracy and repeatability of inspection results.
• Reduction in dimensional non‑conformances.
• Timely completion of FAIs and inspection reports.
• Effectiveness in supporting root‑cause and corrective actions.
• Equipment uptime and calibration compliance.
