 Verify and document First of Approval at change over to ensure quality products.  Preform random audit of processes and product and document any findings. Preform daily inspection of product such as: run and analyze CMM reports and if issue occurs report it to operator and their supervisor.  Use contour Tracer to verify product meet requirements of the drawing and customer. Monthly calibration of Mahr contour tracer, surface finish device and form scan. Monitor, document and maintain calibration of all items needing calibration including fixed assets; CMM and Hommel measuring machine. Maintain annual budget by researching cost from vendors vs. their ability to maintain a schedule to keep gauges up to date. Repair, if possible, clean and maintain hand held measuring equipment. Order replacement gauges or send them out for repair while maintaining a standardized style of measuring devices. Aid in the development of quality systems to prepare for audits. Research and create improved ways to verify product quality and reduce cost.

 Verify Documentation of completed products meets customer requirements. Certify Circuit Card Assembly meets at least a minimum ‘Class 2’ IPC-600 requirements or a ‘Class 3’as documentation may dictate. Verify incoming supplies have all necessary certificates, preform visual and functional inspections. Conduct first article inspections, monitor non-conformance issues, research root cause and apply corrective actions on circuit boards and electrical connections.
