Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Perform frequent visual and dimensional inspections of parts using high-precision tools (micrometers, comparators, vision systems, and CMMs).
- Validate the first parts off the machine after a new setup to ensure the process is capable and stable before full production begins.
- Monitor tool wear trends and tolerances to predict and prevent defects before they occur.
- Act as the primary communicator between the Quality Lab and the Shop Floor. You must translate complex data into actionable feedback for Setup Technicians and Operators.
- Assist Setup employees in troubleshooting "out-of-tolerance" conditions, helping to identify whether the issue is tool-related, thermal drift, or programming-based.

- Train CNC Operators on how to use manual gauges and interpret blueprints, fostering a "Quality at the Source" mindset where everyone feels responsible for the part.
- Approach quality issues with a "problem-solving" rather than "fault-finding" attitude to maintain high morale and trust between departments.
- Participate in Kaizen events or team meetings to suggest process changes that reduce scrap and make the Machinists' jobs easier.
Experience, Qualifications, and Skills
- 3+ years' experience in a CNC machining environment (specifically Swiss Turning preferred).
- Expert ability to read complex engineering drawings and understand GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
- Proficiency with Keyence vision systems, profilometers, hand tools and CMMs.
- Strong verbal communication and the ability to remain calm and constructive under production pressure.
