Experimental Process Inspector
Function/Program: Quality
Work Performed:
* A very wide variety of inspection operations on experimental parts or components for use in experimental, prototype, or development aircraft only. Components that are not attached to products currently in production. Inspection of rework can only be performed on experimental or prototype parts.
* Sets up, Operates, and Interprets quality inspection results from advanced equipment and technology, including but not limited to Coordinate measuring machines, non-contact metrology equipment, gear measurement machine, surface analyzers and various other advanced integrated systems and makes complex layouts and setups on surface plates to inspect a variety of part types to close tolerances
* Advises and assist engineers or other personnel in the development of new inspection methods resulting in efficient and repeatable set-ups within an inspection environment for use by all levels and capabilities on the equipment.
* Performs a variety of inspections to include but not limited to: GD&T (geometrical dimension and tolerances), complex surface plate layout, advanced case set interrogation, threaded features, hardness evaluation, linear dimensions, form dimensions and gear tooth geometry. Works from drawings, 3D models, engineering orders, sketches or verbal instructions.
* Advanced GD&T skills
* Works to ensure safe operating conditions, and high standards of housekeeping of assigned areas.
* Effective level of written and verbal skills to sufficiently communicate information.
* Works in a cross functional team
Tools & Equipment Used:
* Coordinate measuring machines, non-contact metrology equipment, gear measurement machine, surface analyzers and various other advanced integrated systems.
* Precision measuring instruments such as but not limited to, optical comparators, Rockwell machines, profilometer, calipers, height gages, micrometers, precision pins, indicators, gauge blocks, layout instruments and a variety of other precision and advanced measuring instruments.
Experience & Other Requirements:
* Three (3) years programming and operating (GMM) gear measurement machine to check parallel axis gears for gear profile, gear lead, and gear spacing and spiral bevel gear topography and stock removal in the last seven (7) years.
* Inspecting with precision measuring instruments (Examples: optical comparators, Rockwell machines, micrometers, dial bore gauges, etc).
* Experience gained at Bell will count toward the required experience and other requirements for job bidding purposes.
* Ability to interpret gear engineering requirements and analyze gear measurement machine reports (gear charts).
