The contractor will interpret drawings per ASME Y14.5, establish datums, and optimize measurement strategies while ensuring accuracy and clear reporting.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience programming and troubleshooting automated CNC/DCC CMMs using PolyWorks Inspector.
• Experience inspecting tight-tolerance machined parts and precision mechanical assemblies.
• Strong GD&T and drawing interpretation skills, including datums, alignments, feature evaluation, and geometric tolerances.
