Job description

A day in this role

You start your day reviewing engineering drawings for a new aerospace fixture build. With your FARO laser tracker and Verisurf toolsets, you map critical features, align to datums, and validate that what’s on the floor matches what’s on paper. By afternoon, you’re compiling a clear, visual inspection report—annotated 3D images, concise written notes, and well‑organized data tables—so engineering, quality, and production can move forward with confidence. You’ll wrap up by supporting a custom tracker service request tied to a space or defense program and planning tomorrow’s priorities.
