About this Candidate

DAVRON CV: Candidate 3811299

METROLOGY & DIMENSIONAL QUALITY LEADER | CMM, LASER SCANNING & DIMENSIONAL STRATEGY

Core Expertise

  • Directed enterprise metrology strategy across multiple manufacturing sites, establishing measurement governance and policies.
  • Scaled inspection infrastructure: tripled CMM capacity and nearly doubled portable measurement systems.
  • Led cross-functional teams of 10–14 engineers to deploy inspection automation, calibration, and data practices.
  • Implemented SPC and measurement-system health checks to reduce variability and improve process capability.
  • Developed automated optical and non-contact inspection methods, reducing inspection time by up to 80%.

Project Background

  • Established metrology departments for advanced aerospace manufacturing supporting high-precision composite structures.
  • Delivered automated inspection systems and vision-based wrinkle detection for composite airframe production.
  • Evaluated factory-level sensor feasibility, preventing multi-million dollar capital investments by identifying accuracy limits.
  • Created inspection plans, GD&T reviews, and tolerance-stack analyses for complex assemblies and tooling.
  • Integrated measurement software and data governance to standardize inspection programming across global sites.
