• Perform first-piece, in-process, and final inspections using standard shop measurement tools (micrometers, calipers, bore gages, height gages, etc.)
• Work closely with engineering, programming, and quality teams to troubleshoot dimensional or process issues
• Identify and address tooling, fixturing, or process opportunities to improve part quality and cycle time
• Maintain clean, organized workstations and follow all AS9100 quality and safety standards
