• Apply working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) when inspecting components and assessing compliance.
• Complete, maintain, and organize detailed inspection records and quality documentation in a documentation-heavy environment.
• Ensure inspection results are documented accurately, completely, and in a timely manner.
• Identify and document nonconforming parts or products that do not meet established specifications and quality standards.
• Collaborate closely with QC Technicians, Quality Engineering, and manufacturing personnel to address quality-related issues and support continuous improvement.
• Maintain a high level of accuracy and attention to detail in all inspection and documentation tasks.
• Follow established quality procedures, inspection requirements, and formal quality system processes.
• Help support existing workload within the QC team and reduce the need for overtime by providing additional inspection capacity.

• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical specifications.
• Working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Strong documentation skills and the ability to maintain accurate, detailed inspection records.

The role involves frequent use of precision measurement equipment and a significant amount of documentation and record keeping, making accuracy and attention to detail especially important.
