Job Description

The Manufacturing QC Inspector is responsible for performing detailed inspections of customers' components both prior to and following Abrasive Flow Machining processing. The inspector ensures that components meet the agreed-upon incoming specifications before processing and verifies that post-processing outcomes meet customer requirements. This role involves utilizing precision measurement tools such as calipers, micrometers, profilometers, gauges, and FARO arms, in addition to maintaining accurate records and compliance with quality standards.

Key Responsibilities:

Pre-Processing Inspections:

• Inspect customer components before processing to ensure they meet the incoming specifications and are ready for processing.
• Use profilometers, comparators, micrometers, calipers, and other measuring tools to ensure parts conform to customer-specified tolerances.
• Confirm that all incoming components meet quality standards and customer requirements before they are sent for processing.

Post-Processing Inspections:

• Conduct post-processing inspections to ensure components meet the required outcome specifications after treatments.
• Verify that the parts meet the desired surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and any other specific customer expectations.
• Record and report inspection results, noting any deviations from required outcomes.

Documentation and Reporting:

• Accurately document all inspection findings for both pre- and post-processing stages, ensuring that all records are clear and precise.
• Generate Certificates of Conformity (COC) for customer components, confirming they meet all agreed specifications.
• Record deviations, non-conformities, and quality issues, reporting them in a timely manner.
• Maintain comprehensive inspection records and databases in accordance with company quality standards.

Compliance and Quality Standards:

• Ensure inspections are conducted in compliance with relevant quality standards, including ISO, QS, AS, MIL, ANSI, and specific customer specifications.
• Apply GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) principles when necessary to verify that parts conform to design requirements.
• Work closely with production teams to communicate quality issues and suggest corrective actions to ensure compliance with customer expectations.

Equipment Maintenance and Calibration:

• Ensure all measuring equipment is regularly calibrated and maintained for accurate inspection results.
• Troubleshoot and report any malfunctions or issues with measuring tools or inspection equipment.

Skills and Qualifications:

• Proficient in using mechanical measurement equipment, such as calipers, micrometers, profilometers, gauges, and FARO arms.
• Knowledge of Abrasive Flow Machining processing techniques.
• Knowledge of Quality Standards (ISO, QS, AS, MIL, ANSI) and the ability to apply them during inspections.
• Solid understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) for interpreting and verifying component specifications.
• Strong ability to identify deviations and ensure compliance with both pre- and post-processing specifications.
• Ability to accurately document and maintain inspection findings in compliance with quality management systems.

Experience:

• Experience in quality control, particularly in manufacturing environments using precision measurement tools and techniques.
• Familiarity with Abrasive Flow Machining processes, or similar surface finishing and processing techniques.
• Experience in interpreting technical drawings, blueprints, and customer specifications.
