Inspect finished parts using precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges, indicators) to verify dimensional accuracy and compliance with specifications.
Perform routine machine maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication, basic troubleshooting, and documenting any service or repair needs.
Maintain accurate production and inspection records, ensuring traceability and compliance with internal quality requirements.
Follow all safety procedures, wear appropriate PPE, and contribute to a clean, organized, and hazard-free work environment.
Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, and Production teams to resolve machining issues, support process improvements, and optimize machining efficiency
