• Operate advanced measurement systems, including Keyence LM-X Series and IM Series, RAM Sprint CNC, Zeiss Spectrum II (TP20), and Micro-Vu Vertex 26 equipment.
• Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, critical dimensions, and tolerance schemes related to molded components.
• Conduct in-process inspections at molding machines to verify part conformity, including visual checks for flash, short shots, splay, contamination, and other molding defects.
• Follow standardized inspection plans, control plans, sampling plans, and work instructions designed for medical device manufacturing.
• Record inspection results accurately on check sheets, inspection logs, device history records (DHRs), or within electronic quality systems.
• Document and segregate nonconforming product, initiating Nonconformance Reports (NCRs) as needed, and support nonconformance documentation with accurate, objective dimensional data.
• Ensure traceability and proper labeling of inspected product.
• Ensure inspections are performed in alignment with company SOPs, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, and customer requirements.
• Support internal and external audits with inspection data and records.
• Assist with routine calibration checks and proper care of metrology instruments.
• Support Gage R&R studies and measurement system analysis under guidance from Quality Engineering.
• Promote Good Documentation Practices (GDP) and adherence to cleanroom and GMP guidelines.
• Maintain proper control of quality records as defined by the Quality Management System.
