- Understand composite manufacturing processes such as lay-up, curing, trimming, drilling, bonding, and assembly.
- Verify critical dimensions and interfaces between composite components and metallic/aerospace assemblies.
- Support inspection of aerospace tooling, moulds, master models, fixtures, and production components.
- Ensure inspection activities comply with applicable customer, drawing, and aerospace quality requirements.
4. Drawing & GD&T
- Read and interpret 2D engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, specifications, and inspection plans.
- Strong understanding of GD&T according to ASME Y14.5.
- Interpret datum reference frames, feature control frames, profile tolerances, position tolerances, and composite tolerances.
- Identify critical-to-quality characteristics and ensure appropriate measurement methods are used.
5. Quality Documentation & Reporting
- Prepare accurate CMM inspection reports, dimensional reports, FAI reports, and inspection records.
- Support AS9102 First Article Inspection activities where applicable.
- Maintain traceability of inspection results and measurement data.
- Identify dimensional non-conformities and initiate/coordinate NCR, CAPA, 8D, and root-cause analysis activities.
- Provide measurement data to Production, Engineering, Tooling, and Quality teams for corrective actions.
6. Calibration & Measurement System
- Monitor FARO equipment calibration, verification, and preventive maintenance requirements.
- Perform routine equipment checks and verify measurement system accuracy before inspection.
- Support MSA / GR&R studies for critical measurement processes.
- Ensure measuring equipment is properly maintained, identified, and traceable to calibration standards.
7. Continuous Improvement
- Improve CMM inspection methods, programs, and measurement cycle time.
- Develop standardized inspection procedures and measurement techniques.
- Support reduction of dimensional rejection, rework, inspection time, and measurement errors.
- Participate in Kaizen, quality improvement, and process capability improvement activities.
