Engineering and Program management.

• Develop measurement programs for use by quality inspectors and production personnel.
• Aid in selection and management of fixture, program and equipment suppliers.
• Direct workers engaged in measuring and testing product and tabulating data concerning materials, product or process quality and reliability.
• Interact routinely with customers to develop and initiate standards and methods for inspection, testing and evaluation.
• Perform inspection and testing of molded components and assemblies for conformance to design and configuration requirements.
• Utilize inspection measurement tools (i.e. micrometers, calipers, drop indicators, thread gauges, plug gauges, comparators, height gages, gage blocks, etc.).
• Optimize inspection methods to expedite inspections and manage equipment capacity.
• Train colleagues/technicians/inspectors on vision system (i.e. – OGP), Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM), and CT Scanner operation for parts being ran on production floor.
• Perform workmanship evaluations on plastic parts (flash, damage, discoloration, contamination, etc.) using microscopes.
• Compile and analyze measurement data and statistics to assess measurement methods and process capability.
• Perform Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (GRR) studies to evaluate measurement methods.
• Assure data availability and integrity for all quality related data. Consolidate and report quality results.

Other activities/functions:

• Work closely with Metrology Technicians, Production personnel, Engineering and other colleagues to diagnose and resolve operational issues.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to Metrology Technicians during troubleshooting and repair activities.
• Develop troubleshooting procedures, standard work, and training materials.
• Participate in shift support initiatives and escalation processes for critical manufacturing equipment.
• Review machine downtime events and partner with technicians to identify long-term corrective actions.
• Implement Continuous Improvement activities
• Maintain system for appropriate documentation for tracking and traceability purposes
