Internal Process Auditing Perform scheduled and unscheduled internal process audits throughout the manufacturing operation. Verify that employees are following approved work instructions, control plans, inspection requirements, and quality procedures. Confirm that first-piece and in-process inspections are completed at the required frequency. Review production records, inspection forms, job travelers, material identification, and traceability documentation for completeness and accuracy. Confirm that the correct material, tooling, gauges, packaging, labels, and inspection equipment are being used. Audit the handling and identification of raw material, work-in-process, finished goods, rejected parts, and nonconforming material. Review housekeeping, organization, and process-control practices that may affect quality. Document findings, communicate concerns, and follow up to confirm corrective actions are completed. Help identify recurring issues and opportunities to improve procedures, documentation, training, and controls. Participate in internal quality-system audits and corrective-action activities as assigned. Documentation and Communication Accurately record measurements, inspection results, audit findings, and other quality information in electronic systems, spreadsheets, and inspection forms. Maintain organized and complete quality records. Clearly communicate quality concerns to production, tooling, supervisors, and management. Include complete information when reporting an issue, including part number, work-order number, specification, actual measurement, quantity affected, and relevant observations. Escalate potential quality problems promptly before additional material is produced or shipped. Assist with nonconforming-material documentation and corrective-action investigations. Maintain a clean and organized inspection area. Required Qualifications Previous experience in quality inspection, manufacturing, machining, metal stamping, or a related production environment. Experience using micrometers, calipers, go/no-go gauges, pin gauges, and thread gauges. Ability to read manufacturing drawings and understand dimensions, tolerances, and inspection requirements.

Experience working within an ISO 9001 or similar quality-management system. Familiarity with control plans, work instructions, job travelers, traceability, nonconforming-material procedures, and corrective actions. Experience with electronic inspection equipment, digital data collection, calibration requirements, and basic sampling methods. Physical Requirements Ability to work in both an inspection area and an active manufacturing environment. Ability to handle small parts and use precision measuring equipment throughout the day. Ability to sit, stand, and walk for extended periods. Ability to lift and move containers weighing up to 30 pounds. Ability to visually inspect small features and identify subtle defects.
