CMM Programming & Operation
Program and operate Zeiss CMM (Calypso software), Keyence Optical CMM, and/or Faro arm for complex dimensional verification
Select appropriate measurement methods and equipment based on part geometry and tolerance requirements
Maintain proficiency with evolving measurement technology and software updates

2. Receiving & In-Process Verification
Verify incoming materials and in-process work at defined control points to ensure all products and components meet quality requirements before advancing through production.
Receipt Inspection
Perform receipt inspection of materials, parts, and consumables against purchase order specifications
Maintain QA-controlled inventory and ensure incoming materials are properly identified and stored
Verify material certifications and test reports accompany incoming shipments
Witness & Hold Point Execution
