Jorge Guzman

• Standardized CMM programming workflows to support automation and remote programming, significantly reducing machine downtime and enabling programmers to focus on offline tasks.
• Designed 3D-printed fixtures compatible with standard standoff sets, enabling standardized setup sheets and allowing CMM technicians to set up parts independently without programmer assistance.
• Developed Microsoft Power Apps application to work in conjunction with Power Automate that transformed Teams chat inputs into a structured queue system, improving issue reporting clarity and reducing communication lag.
• Authored a comprehensive Confluence-based CMM programming knowledge base and troubleshooting guide; required reading for new technicians and referenced daily.
• Enabled entry-level CMM technicians to resolve 70–80% of common issues independently, reducing interruptions to programmers and boosting efficiency.
• Participated in DFM meetings and cross-functional dimensional reviews, providing feedback to GTM teams and customers on optimizing datum structures to improve inspection and manufacturing feasibility.

• Led cross-functional planning to align Quality goals with inspection readiness and production priorities.
• Developed automated work instructions, inspection programs, and custom scripts to reduce manual tasks.
• Initiated migration of composite layup and assembly tooling data from spreadsheets to a Dataverse backend to support Power BI analytics and enable tracking of periodic tooling inspections through an MRO-style queuing system.
• Designed Power BI and SharePoint solutions to visualize inspection data and support proactive quality decisions.
• Interpreted complex GD&T callouts and resolved issues in CMM and laser tracker inspection routines by referencing 3D CAD models and design intent.
• Trained CMM technicians and entry-level engineers on metrology software, fixture alignment strategies, and root cause analysis of inspection discrepancies.

• Conducted visual inspections on composite structures, propulsion and integration assemblies, and avionics PCBAs for conformance to engineering standards.
• Performed dimensional inspections using contact and non-contact methods, including CMMs, portable arms, laser trackers, and structured light scanners.
• Supported metrology-assisted assembly processes on large-scale assemblies and tooling using precision measurement systems.
• Managed and maintained company-wide calibration records for precision measurement tools and critical assembly tooling.
• Reviewed supplier documentation to ensure compliance with engineering requirements, quality clauses, and applicable industry standards.
• Developed process improvements leveraging structured blue light scanning to enhance current machining and assembly workflows.
• Generated polygonal models from scan data to support root cause analysis, nonconformance evaluation, and R&D activities.
• Assisted vibration testing by programming and operating test articles to simulate operational environments, including installing, calibrating, and removing accelerometers to ensure component durability under random vibration conditions.

• Conducted visual inspections on composite honeycomb sandwich panels and machined metal parts to ensure compliance with customer specifications.
• Performed dimensional inspections on components such as composite panels, forgings, and castings using CMMs and portable CMM arms.
• Identified, documented, and reported non-conformances to the Material Review Board for disposition and corrective action.
• Collaborated with operations engineering and quality assurance teams to investigate root causes of discrepancies and implement corrective measures.
• Received and processed aircraft component samples—including composite panels, liners, laminates, resins, and adhesives—for inspection.
• Prepared and tested product samples using industrial ovens, hydraulic presses, table saws, shears, and Universal Testing Machines.
• Conducted material testing including deflection, impact strength, shear strength, long beam load, drum peel, density, viscosity, and flammability assessments.

• Performed maintenance, inspections, repairs, and installations on aircraft life support systems (ALSS), including ejection seats, parachutes, and aviators’ breathing oxygen (ABO) systems.
• Mentored and evaluated personnel on duty performance, time management, instructional skills, and technical knowledge.
• Led training sessions and workshops on the proper use and handling of flight equipment and aircraft-installed explosive lockout devices for aviators and maintainers.
• Ensured all department personnel maintained required certifications, qualifications, medical evaluations, and licenses to perform assigned duties safely and effectively.
• Managed multiple Naval Aviation maintenance programs at the squadron level, including Aviators Breathing Oxygen, Egress/Explosive system checkouts, and Technical Publications.
• Held collateral responsibilities for Safety, Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Control, Tool Control, Corrosion Prevention, Hazardous Material handling, and Quality Assurance programs.
• Maintained aircrew logbooks—similar to aircraft logbooks—for all squadron aviators, ensuring accurate records for periodic maintenance and compliance.
