  • Ensure all inspection activities adhere to company Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001).
  • Assist in the calibration and maintenance of inspection tools and equipment to ensure accuracy.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of quality processes and manufacturing efficiency.
  • Adhere to all company safety protocols and maintain a clean and organized work environment, which may include a cleanroom environment.

  • Ability to read and interpret engineering blueprints and apply GD&T principles.
  • Exceptional visual acuity and attention to detail for cosmetic inspection of delicate components.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills and computer literacy for documentation.
  • Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment.


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Quality Management System (QMS) software.
  • Knowledge of the principles of optical glass materials and their properties.
  • Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) certification.

Physical Requirements:

  • Ability to sit or stand for extended periods.
