Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

1. First Article Inspection (FAI)

• Perform full First Article Inspections on new or revised parts.
  
  
• Validate that tooling, blueprints, and manufacturing processes are capable of producing parts to specification.
  
  
• Document comprehensive FAI reports for customer approval.
  
  

2. In-Process Inspection

• Conduct "Buy-offs" at critical manufacturing stages (e.g., post-machining, pre-deburr, or post-heat treat).
  
  
• Perform visual and dimensional checks to ensure the production run remains within tolerance, preventing mass-scrap scenarios.
  
  
• Monitor SPC (Statistical Process Control) charts to identify trend deviations.
  
  

3. Final Inspection & Documentation

• Perform 100% or AQL-based final dimensional inspections using Vision Systems and manual tools (Micrometers, Bore Gauges, Height Stands).
  
  
• Verify Material Certifications and Special Process Certifications (Plating, Anodizing, Welding) for traceability.
  
  
• Review and sign off on Logbooks and Certificates of Conformance (CoC) for final shipping.
