Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Act as the primary communicator between the Quality Lab and the Shop Floor. You must translate complex data into actionable feedback for Setup Technicians and Operators.

• Lead brief "toolbox talks" or handoff meetings to ensure the incoming shift understands current quality trends or specific part sensitivities.
• Train CNC Operators on how to use manual gauges and interpret blueprints, fostering a "Quality at the Source" mindset where everyone feels responsible for the part.
• Approach quality issues with a "problem-solving" rather than "fault-finding" attitude to maintain high morale and trust between departments.
• Participate in Kaizen events or team meetings to suggest process changes that reduce scrap and make the Machinists' jobs easier.

Experience, Qualifications, and Skills

• 3+ years' experience in a CNC machining environment (specifically Swiss Turning preferred).
• Expert ability to read complex engineering drawings and understand GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• Proficiency with Keyence vision systems, profilometers, hand tools and CMMs.
