Conduct process audits (Layered Process Audits) and perform root cause analysis (5W+1H, 5 Whys) to ensure quality compliance and defect prevention.

Analytical Testing & Claims Resolution: Perform analytical tests on raw materials and finished products (e.g., purity, particle size, hardness). Inspect products at job sites to substantiate customer claims and formulate compensation offers.

Technical Leadership & Advocacy: Direct engineering, quality, and laboratory teams in the design and selection of approved measurement standards. Serve as the internal Subject Matter Expert (SME) and represent the organization in industrial standardization committees (such as NIST or ISO).

Equipment & Facility Maintenance: Perform general maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting of production and facility equipment, including electrical, mechanical, CNC, PLC, and robot automation. May set up and operate metalworking tools to make and repair

Demonstrated experience with CMM programming (e.g., PC-DMIS) and various precision measurement tools.

Working knowledge of industrial maintenance, including troubleshooting PLC logic (e.g., Allen Bradley), VFDs, CNC, and 480V electrical systems.

Ability to apply statistical analysis and execute Measurement System Evaluations (MSE) and Gage R&R studies.
