Precision CNC Dimensional Quality Inspector
DPI Inc. | Hatboro, PA | Full-Time
Since 1988, DPI Inc. has been machining complex, tight-tolerance components for aerospace, defense, cryogenics, and industrial customers. We are adding an experienced Quality Inspector who thrives on precision, collaboration, and getting details right the first time.
A day in this role
You arrive to review the first-piece from a new CNC setup. With the drawing and GD&T in hand, you verify critical dimensions using micrometers, calipers, height and bore gauges, and other precision tools. As production runs, you perform in-process checks, document results in our quality records, and flag any nonconforming conditions. A machinist invites you to the Mitutoyo CMM; you assist with the inspection routine, validate results, and help finalize an AS9102 First Article package. Before the shift ends, you collaborate with production leadership on a dimensional issue, propose a corrective path, and note a process improvement opportunity for the next run.
What you will do
- Perform first-piece, in-process, and final inspections on precision CNC-machined parts.
- Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T symbols, and customer requirements.
- Measure features using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, and advanced metrology tools.
- Operate and/or assist with CMM inspections (Mitutoyo) as your experience allows.
- Record results, maintain accurate quality documentation, and complete AS9102 First Article packages.
- Identify and document nonconforming product and communicate findings effectively.
- Partner with machinists and production leaders to resolve dimensional and quality issues.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of inspection methods and quality standards.
What you bring
- Hands-on inspection experience within precision machining or manufacturing.
- Fluency in blueprint reading and GD&T.
- Proficiency with precision measuring instruments.
- Understanding of machining processes and tolerances.
- Strong attention to detail, organization, and ability to work independently.
- CMM experience strongly preferred.
- Experience with ISO 9001 or AS9100 systems is a plus.
Growth at DPI
For someone eager to expand, you can take on internal audits, corrective actions, quality management system initiatives, and broader leadership responsibilities over time.
