Manage and optimize the Zeiss PiWeb inspection database and associated quality workflows.

*

Maintain clean quality records and data integration across enterprise tools (e.g., SAP ERP) and internal platforms.

*

Manage non-conformances by driving Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) processes to resolve issues and prevent repeat defects.

*

Ensure department readiness for internal and external audits, including compliance with high-spec standards like NADCAP.

*

Author, update, and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and Quality Management System (QMS) documentation.

*

Identify, lead, and support process optimization initiatives within the inspection area.

*

Execute and promote 5S (workplace organization) and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) routines to maintain high operational standards.

*

Develop and monitor key quality metrics, departmental KPIs, and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) indicators to drive performance visibility.

Essential Requirements:

*

Broad background in manufacturing quality, including non-conformance handling and thorough review/approval of inspection documentation.

*

Proven ability to write, update, and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and QMS documentation.

Strong practical knowledge of continuous improvement methodologies, specifically 5S and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) routines.

*

Demonstrated ability to identify, lead, and support process improvement initiatives within an inspection or manufacturing environment.

*

Competence using enterprise software (such as SAP) and standard Microsoft Office platforms.

*

Ability to track and work with departmental Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics.

*

Excellent diligence, integrity, and commitment to delivering accurate, high-quality inspection records.

*

Strong collaborative skills to work across departments, serve as an inspection point-of-contact, and implement solutions.

Desirable Requirements:

*

Hands-on experience inspecting castings, additive manufacturing (3D-printed) components, and precision machined parts.

*

Practical experience using, organizing, and maintaining the Zeiss PiWeb inspection database and its associated workflows.

*

Strong, direct experience navigating SAP for quality management, document tracking, and ERP workflows.
