What You'll Be Doing

This isn't a role where you'll spend your entire day performing repetitive inspections. You'll have the opportunity to be involved in multiple aspects of the quality function.

Responsibilities may include:

• Inspect manufactured parts, assemblies, and raw materials for quality and conformance
• Perform dimensional and visual inspections throughout the manufacturing process
• Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, specifications, and tolerances
• Use precision measuring equipment such as micrometers, calipers, gauges, and measuring tools
• Accurately document measurements, inspection results, and nonconformances
• Maintain traceable quality and inspection records
• Partner with production and other departments to address quality concerns
• Support the development and maintenance of process procedures and work instructions
• Assist with employee training related to quality processes and procedures
• Support internal and external quality audits
• Work within established quality management systems
• Assist with ISO 9001 and NADCAP-related processes
• Help identify opportunities for process and quality improvement
• Ensure inspection equipment is properly maintained, handled, and stored

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who understands manufacturing quality, but we're flexible on the exact industry you come from.

A strong candidate may have:

• Previous quality inspection experience in a manufacturing or production environment
• Experience reading and interpreting blueprints or technical drawings
• Experience with micrometers, calipers, gauges, or other precision measuring equipment
• Strong attention to detail and documentation skills
• Understanding of dimensional and visual inspection methods
• Ability to communicate quality findings effectively with production teams
• Comfortable computer skills, including Microsoft Office
• Strong organization and recordkeeping abilities

Experience That Can Help You Stand Out

These aren't all requirements, but experience with any of the following would be valuable:

• ISO 9001
• NADCAP
• Internal or external quality audits
• ERP or quality management systems
• Developing procedures or work instructions
• Manufacturing quality documentation
• Corrective actions or continuous improvement
• Inspection of finished or surface-treated components
• Training employees on quality procedures
• Process control and accountability

Most importantly, we're looking for someone with a strong foundation in manufacturing quality who is interested in continuing to grow their skills.

More Than a Traditional Inspector Role

What makes this opportunity especially interesting is the ability to expand beyond dimensional inspection.

You'll still use blueprints, micrometers, calipers, gauges, and visual inspection techniques, but you'll also have opportunities to become involved with quality systems, procedures, training, audits, and process improvement.

For someone who has built a foundation as a Quality Inspector and wants exposure that can help move their career toward a Quality Technician, Quality Specialist, Quality Auditor, or Quality Systems path, this could be an excellent next step.
