• Expertise in using precision measuring tools and equipment.
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
• Basic computer skills for documentation and reporting (e.g., Microsoft Office, ERP systems).
• Certifications: Certification in quality control (e.g., ASQ Certified Quality Inspector) or NDT certifications are a plus.
