Position Summary: The Mechanical Inspector inspects precision metal stampings, assemblies, and raw materials at various production and inspection points, including assembly stations, inspection booths, presses, and shipping/receiving docks. This role ensures all products conform to specifications and requires a strong understanding of quality assurance principles and inspection techniques. Key Responsibilities: Read blueprints and engineering specifications to obtain product information, such as specified material, surface finish, and dimensions. Compare the surface of workpieces to standards using fingertip touch comparison to ensure the specified surface finish. Measure dimensions, such as length, height, and distance, using precision instruments (e.g., micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, optical comparators, CMMs, and snap gages). Locate reference points on parts and measure dimensions (angles, arcs, and radii) using aids such as surface plates, parallel bars, angle plates, gage blocks, V-blocks, sine bars, and precision instruments. Document findings on inspection sheets and report issues to supervisors. Test first-run parts and verify the accuracy of inspection equipment. Test hardness of workpieces using hardness testing machines. Conduct training for and evaluate the initial work of probationary inspectors. Perform other customer-driven or product-driven duties as assigned by the supervisor. Handle parts balancing requests from customers. Check part balance during production runs, including first parts produced, as required by production procedures. Calibrate static balancers to an internal computer-generated setting for measurement. Use static balancers to measure part balance and record data. Conduct capability studies to determine if parts meet customer specifications. Notify the Director of Quality Assurance or engineers of defective parts.
