- Perform visual and dimensional inspection of plated, coated, and finished parts, including verification of finish, appearance, and coating/plating thickness where specified.
- Document inspection results, record measured data, and complete inspection reports and receiving records accurately.
- Identify, tag, segregate, and document nonconforming material; initiate nonconformance reports (NCRs) and support material review board (MRB) and supplier corrective action activities.
- Verify that inspection, measuring, and test equipment is within calibration prior to use and support the calibration program.
- Review supplier documentation such as certificates of conformance (C of C), material/test certifications, and first article inspection (FAI) reports.

- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area and comply with all safety, quality, and housekeeping (5S) standards.
- Additional duties as assigned

- Working knowledge of sampling procedures and AQL-based acceptance sampling.
- Solid math skills and attention to detail with the ability to accurately record and interpret measurement data.
