• Inspect work-in-process parts to confirm they meet print requirements and work order instructions, identifying any deviations promptly.
• Calibrate gauges and test equipment according to established calibration schedules and document calibration activities as required.
• Rotate between work-in-process inspections and receiving inspections based on assigned schedule, supporting workflow needs and team priorities.
• Follow priorities established by the planning group or by inspecting the oldest parts in receiving inventory to maintain efficient throughput.
• Use basic computer skills to enter, update, and retrieve inspection and quality data in electronic systems.
• Collaborate with the quality team to address inspection findings and support continuous adherence to quality standards in a regulated environment.

Essential Skills

• Entry-level to 23 years of experience in quality or quality assurance roles.
• Experience working with calipers, rules, micrometers, and radius gauges for dimensional inspection.

• Experience using Oracle or other ERP systems for handling non-conformances or production/quality data.
• High school diploma required.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and inspection check sheets.
• Ability to work effectively in a highly regulated industry environment such as aerospace, medical device, GMP, or automotive.
