Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) is a full service fiber optic company specializing in the fabrication and manufacture of fiber optic connectivity products and systems. Our commitment to technical excellence makes us an industry leader in producing sophisticated products and professional technical assistance in the fiber optic industry. AFSI, located in Allen, Texas, has and will continue to base its strategy on technical and application support, quality assurance, product performance and value. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Perform ongoing inspections and quality verification of parts and assemblies during production to ensure conformance to engineering drawings, specifications and approved process controls. Own in-process checks, first article verifications, in-line sampling, nonconformance identification/containment, and documentation to support on-time delivery and product quality for Amphenol's manufacturing operations. Essential Functions: • Perform visual and dimensional inspections per work instructions, control plans and inspection drawings (first article, in-process sampling, final checks). • Use calibrated measuring equipment (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, pin gauges, optical comparators, video inspection microscopes, profilometers where applicable) to verify critical dimensions and tolerances. • Execute first piece inspections • Perform in-process audits and SPC sampling; record inspection data and enter results into MES/ERP/QC systems. • Identify, segregate and document nonconforming material; initiate and route NCRs / RMA / corrective action requests and apply containment actions as required. • Work with production leads and engineering to troubleshoot process issues, provide immediate feedback to operators, and recommend corrective/preventive actions. • Verify tooling, fixtures and process parameters are correct before and during production runs; confirm setup and lot traceability (lots, serials, date codes). • Participate in root-cause investigations (8D/RCAs), support corrective action implementation and verify effectiveness. • Maintain inspection equipment calibration records and notify Quality/Calibration team of out-of-calibration tools. • Support internal and external quality audits, including customer visits and regulatory compliance checks. • Enforce EHS, 5S, safety and quality policies on the line; stop production for critical safety or quality risks and escalate appropriately. Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: • High school diploma or GED required, technical certificate or associate degree in metrology, quality, manufacturing or related field preferred. • 5+ manufacturing quality inspection experience (adjust upward for senior levels). • Proven ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T symbology, dimensional tolerances and control plans. • Proficiency with calipers, micrometers, height gauges, pin gauges, basic optical inspection equipment and go/no-go gauges. • Basic computer skills and experience entering inspection/test data into ERP/MES/QC systems. • Strong attention to detail, good written/verbal communication and ability to work on a fast-paced production floor. • Ability to stand, walk production lines, and lift up to ~25-50 lbs occasionally. Required Education and Experience: • 5+ years' experience in manufacturing quality • Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) or ASQ certification, IPC-A-610 or equivalent assembly inspection certification preferred. • Experience with SPC tools, measurement systems analysis (MSA/Gage R&R), FAI/PPAP processes and root-cause tools (5 Why, 8D). • Familiarity with ISO 9001 / AS9100 quality systems and common manufacturing documentation practices. • Experience in cable/connector assembly, fiber optic assemblies or electro-mechanical manufacturing is a plus. • U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident to satisfy AFSI ITAR requirements. Work Environment: • Work environment: Fast-paced manufacturing floor with ESD/clean-area controls, • frequent standing and walking, use of inspection/metrology equipment, and close collaboration with production, Engineering and Quality teams. • PPE required. Physical Demands: • Frequent standing and walking on the production floor, constant fine-motor work for close visual inspection, occasional lifting up to 25-50 lbs, and work in clean-area conditions. • PPE required.
