- Verify component dimensions, profiles, hole locations, angles, flatness, perpendicularity, concentricity, and other GD&T; characteristics.

1. CMM Programming & Measurement

- Create, modify, and optimize FARO measurement programs for repeatable inspection.
- Establish appropriate datum structures and alignment methods as per drawing/GD&T; requirements.
- Select suitable probes, scanning methods, and measurement strategies.
- Optimize inspection programs to reduce measurement time while maintaining accuracy and repeatability.
- Compare measured data with CAD models / nominal dimensions and generate dimensional inspection reports.

1. Aerospace & Composite Quality





- Inspect components manufactured using Carbon Fiber, Glass Fiber, Honeycomb Core, Prepreg, Sandwich Structures, and other composite materials.
- 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.

1. Drawing & GD&T;

- Read and interpret 2D engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, specifications, and inspection plans.
- Solid 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

Required Technical Skills
- Hands-on experience with FARO CMM / Portable Measuring Arm.
- Experience in FARO CAM2 / FARO Measure / relevant FARO software will be preferred.
- Knowledge of CMM programming, probing, scanning, alignment, and CAD comparison.
- Strong knowledge of GD&T; and dimensional metrology.
- Ability to work with CATIA / NX / SolidWorks / other 3D CAD models.
- Knowledge of AS9102 FAI and aerospace inspection practices.
- Knowledge of MSA, GR&R;, SPC, 8D, CAPA, and Root Cause Analysis.
- Good knowledge of precision measuring instruments.
- Good working knowledge of MS Excel and quality documentation.

Preferred Aerospace / Composite Experience
