Final Inspection
Was a final inspector on a small elite inspection team for their Sikorsky milita
ry project.
I was doing final inspection, f.a.i.s, Deltas and putting together the complete
package for the Sikorsky
source inspectors for review and buy off.
Worked closely with Sikorsky on these large first build assemblies.
The revisions on these parts are in constant review and revisions are made on pa
rts on a frequent basis due to this being a first make.
So we were constantly making sure all new rev. requirements are being implemente
d on the parts and rework if necessary on mostly composite and some metal parts.
We are being held to the highest of standards in making sure we comply with all
Sikorsky specs.
We inspected for FOD, checked for core crushing, proper trimming and drill jigs
were properly placed. Reviewed all the Cure, Autoclave, NDI, CMM, Faro Arm, and
lay-up reports for the composite parts, to make sure each part falls within all
print specifications.
Worked with laser projection systems to ensure placement of plys and honeycomb c
ore.
Wrote up all non-conformance reports and decided whether to scrap out a part or
disposition to Sikorsky for non-conformance review. If submitted to Sikorsky for
non-conformance, made sure all requirements have been made and documented for c
onformance.
Inspected and bought off every operation to all Sikorsky parts in production thr
ough to final inspection.

Cmm programmer/operator, quality assurance, and sheet metal fab/assembly lead.
The company put me through the Basic cmm training course for operating a Zeiss c
mm in aug. 2007, after purchasing a new Zeiss/Calypso cmm.
In December of 2007 I also completed the advanced cmm training course.
I log in and submit non-conformance parts and help with cause and corrective act
ions.
I also released work orders, which consisted of making a work order, printing ou
t the manufacturing instructions, pull the print and all dcns, make an operator
inspection check sheet, and look at the outside processing to see if any of it w
ill change the dimensions, and if so see if any close tolerance dimensions need
to be adjusted to make up for the processing and flag those dimensions.
I performed first part buy off inspections that came off the cncs.
I have gone through the f.a.i.net training for submitting Fais directly to the c
ustomer from the Internet.
I have also gone through the I.T.A.R. (International Trade of Arms Regulations)

Before I worked there, they were strictly a cnc machine shop.
I have changed the co. so they are capable of doing various types of other work
in the aircraft field and dont have to rely solely on cnc machining and farming
out parts for any other operations.
All contracts that the co. bid on and was not cnc related was given to me to quo
te, and was solely my responsibility to assure that they were completed on time,
and within all print specifications.
When given a chance I tried to learn all I could about cmm programming and cncs.
I can perform my own cnc set-ups, and some basic cnc program editing.
