Verifying complex mechanical and electrical engineering drawings including top assemblies, sub-assemblies, wire diagrams, installation, tooling fixtures, engineering orders and details.

• Checking 3D models and interference fit using Siemens/NX per customer and internal standards.
• Applying ASME and ANSI principles to drawings including GD&T, dimensional practices, proper datum selections, profile and views, and symbol construction.
• Performed the selection for bill of materials, raw material, revision control, internal and customer specifications and notes.
• Collaborating with design, material and stress engineers for best practices of engineering drawings.
• Improving our internal specifications for quality and customer satisfaction.

• Enhanced product quality by conducting thorough inspections using Faro Arm, calipers, protractors, pin and thread go-nogo gauges, optical comparator, radius gauges and micrometers.
• Contributed to the root cause analysis with engineering for non-conformance parts by implementing in-process checks and improving manual manufacturing operations with tooling/fixtures.
• Produced FAI's reports through Polyworks software and implemented into Net-Inspect per AS9102.
• Inspected complex top assemblies, sub-assemblies, sheet metal parts, lay-up composite panels, tolling/fixtures and details.
• Assisted in training new Quality Inspectors, sharing
• Calibrating testing machines, electrical and mechanical tools to calibration procedures and specifications knowledge of best practices and industry standards.

• First part checks, in process checks and final inspection on complex sub-assemblies and CNC machined parts using CMM, height gauge, optical comparator, micrometers, surface profilometer, bore gauges, PCM's, M1 meter, fluke meter, eddy current, calipers and radius gauges.
• Highly skilled in manual CMM setups and runs of complex CNC machined parts.
• Performing assembly and machined details per AS9102 with Net-inspect software.
• Certified in all bond and ground, sealing, safety wire and resistance testing per customer requirements.
• Experience writing non-conformance tags per Pro Shop and SQUIS software.
• Train new hires on GD&T techniques, CMM setups, and surface plate setups per 3D blueprints and Boeing specifications.
