Performed First Article Inspection (FAI), in-process, and final inspections of aircraft interior components to verify conformance to engineering drawings, specifications, and quality standards. Identified, documented, and dispositioned non-conforming materials (NCR), including root-cause analysis and corrective action support. Conducted process audits, equipment calibration, and incoming material inspections to maintain compliance. Collaborated with production and engineering teams to resolve quality issues and support improvement, using precision inspection tools, gauges, and software to ensure accurate measurements, documentation, and traceability.

Performed precision assembly of complex electronic and mechanical components. Conducted in-process testing, troubleshooting, and validation to ensure compliance and quality. Executed defect identification, rework, and final inspection procedures according to established standards. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to meet production targets and reduce defects in a high-precision manufacturing environment.

Interpreted 3D models, engineering drawings, and schematics to build complex aircraft electronics and electrical boxes. Completed full-cycle assembly from raw materials to finished units with quality checks at each stage. Performed in-process and final inspections, identified defects, and maintained high-reliability aerospace electronics documentation.
