Quality Inspector (Sep 2025 – Present)
Performed dimensional inspections using CMM, vision systems, and optical comparators to verify components against drawings, applying machining experience to interpret results.
CNC Machinist / Programmer (Sep 2021 – Sep 2025)
Applied stress-relief methods (double-sided tape fixturing and re-torquing after roughing) to achieve consistent flatness without vacuum fixtures.
Converted multi-setup 3-axis operations into 3+2 indexed processes, reducing setup time and eliminating angular misalignment.
Adjusted hole depths and diameters within drawing tolerance limits, considering plating thickness and hardware stack-up (pins, bushings) to prevent flush issues and assembly failures.
Tuned feeds, speeds, and finishing strategies based on measured Ra and Rz values to reduce tool marks and improve surface consistency on critical sealing areas.
Maintained sub-thousandth dimensional stability on critical features through controlled toolpaths and spring passes.
