• 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.

WHAT YOU NEED

Practical CNC-machined component inspection; independent CMM programming and prove-out; confident drawing/GD&T interpretation; manual measurement, FAIR and calibration experience; and the ability to manage inspection with limited supervision.

MCOSMOS experience is desirable. Tell us which machines and software you have used.
