Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience programming automated inspection systems or vision/metrology equipment; experience with OGP SmartScope strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in GD&T, blueprint reading, and translating drawing tolerances into measurement strategies.
• Hands-on experience with First Article Inspections (FAI), PPAP processes, and preparing inspection reports for supplier and customer reviews.
• Working knowledge of Vision Systems, optical comparators, and common metrology equipment for precision components inspection.
• Practical experience with Gage R&R, MSA, SPC data collection and analysis, and use of statistical tools to drive process control.
• Familiarity with metrology software and data export formats, plus competency with Microsoft Excel and SPC software packages.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate measurement results and technical information clearly to cross-functional teams.
• Ability to prioritize multiple projects, manage program revisions, and work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Certifications such as ASQ CQT, CMM operator certification, or equivalent metrology/quality credentials are a plus.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and optimize automated inspection programs for OGP SmartScope and other vision/metrology systems to inspect precision components.
• Translate engineering drawings and GD&T callouts into robust inspection routines and measurement plans.
• Perform First Article Inspections (FAIs) and generate detailed inspection reports to support PPAP and release activities.
• Implement and maintain measurement processes aligned with MSA, Gage R&R, and calibration requirements to ensure measurement traceability and repeatability.
