About The Position

The Quality Technician 2 (QT2) is a senior technical quality professional responsible for complex inspections, quality investigations, and improvements to inspection methods and quality processes. The role uses independent judgment to evaluate nonconforming conditions and contributes to trend analysis, root cause investigations, and preventative actions. QT2 collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, and continuous improvement teams to improve product quality and manufacturing processes. The position also provides technical mentorship to other quality technicians and helps improve inspection strategies and quality standards.

Requirements

• Associate or bachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing, or a related discipline.
• 3–6 years of manufacturing quality or inspection experience.
• Strong understanding of GD&T and engineering drawing interpretation.
• Experience performing complex dimensional inspections.
• Knowledge of root cause investigation methods.
• Experience working with nonconformance systems and MRB processes.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

• Perform dimensional and functional inspections on moderate-complexity products and assemblies.
• Interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T requirements independently.
• Use standard inspection tools, FARO scanning systems, and functional test equipment; perform basic FARO programming and troubleshooting.
• Evaluate measurement results and determine appropriate escalation or containment actions.
• Provide hands-on inspection support during elevated workloads so incoming, in-process, and final inspection queues remain current.
• Help QT1 technicians resolve inspection challenges and measurement interpretation issues.
• Collaborate with the inspection team to prioritize work and prevent backlogs and production delays.
• Serve as a technical resource to ensure inspection activities are performed efficiently and correctly.
• Improve inspection plans based on risk, historical defects, and process capability.
• Identify ways to simplify inspection while maintaining risk control, and optimize inspection parameters and measurement methods.
• Independently disposition moderate-complexity nonconformances within defined authority limits.
• Evaluate containment strategies and potential production risk, and support MRB decision-making.
• Lead quality investigations using structured problem-solving tools, including 5 Whys, Fishbone analysis, and basic statistical analysis.
• Correlate inspection data with process behavior and manufacturing variation, and recommend corrective and preventative actions.
• Analyze quality data to identify emerging trends and drive preventative actions to reduce defect recurrence.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives.
• Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and CI teams to improve process capability and inspection methods and strengthen process controls.
• Provide DFMA feedback related to inspectability and tolerance risk.
• Train and coach QT1 technicians and share best practices in inspection techniques and quality methods.
• Demonstrate technical leadership, anticipate quality risks, promote cross-functional accountability for quality, and model strong problem-solving behavior.
