Quality Technician - 2nd Shift
About The Position
The Quality Technician will perform in-process, first article, and final inspections on machined components and assemblies. This role requires interpreting engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T requirements to inspect tight-tolerance and critical features on precision machined components. The technician will use various inspection, measurement, and test equipment (IMTE) and operate vision systems. A key part of the role involves verifying CMM inspections, troubleshooting measurement discrepancies, and using specialized materials to capture internal or inaccessible features for indirect measurement. The technician will also be responsible for documenting inspection results, segregating nonconforming material, supporting root cause analysis, and maintaining inspection areas. Additionally, the role involves supporting audits and communicating inspection findings to relevant teams.
Requirements
- High school diploma or GED required
- 3–5 years of inspection experience in precision machining, aerospace, or manufacturing
- Strong understanding of blueprint reading and GD&T
- Experience using precision measuring instruments (IMTE)
- Basic computer skills for documentation and reporting
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-mix manufacturing environment
- Ability to sit, stand, walk, bend, and lift up to 50 lbs.
Nice To Haves
- Technical degree preferred
- Experience with vision inspection systems
- Experience verifying CMM results and troubleshooting measurement discrepancies
- Experience using replication/molding techniques for inspection
- Familiarity with AS9100 / ISO 9001 quality systems
- Experience with CMM operation
Responsibilities
- Perform in-process, first article, and final inspections on machined components and assemblies
- Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T requirements
- Inspect tight-tolerance and critical features on precision machined components
- Use inspection, measurement, and test equipment (IMTE) such as micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, and indicators
- Operate and utilize vision systems for non-contact measurement and feature verification
- Run and/or support CMM inspections using programs developed in PC-DMIS
- Verify failed or out-of-tolerance CMM features by re-measuring using alternate methods, identifying potential programming, alignment, or fixturing issues
- Use molding/replication putty to capture internal or inaccessible features and enable indirect measurement of complex geometries
- Validate dimensions that cannot be directly probed or visually inspected
- Identify, document, and segregate nonconforming material in accordance with MRB procedures
- Complete inspection reports and documentation accurately (FAI, in-process, final inspection records)
- Verify traceability, material certifications, and documentation compliance
- Support root cause analysis and corrective actions related to measurement discrepancies
- Maintain cleanliness and organization of inspection areas and equipment
- Ensure proper handling and protection of precision components
- Support internal and external audits (ISO 9001 / AS9100 / customer audits)
- Communicate inspection results and discrepancies clearly to production, engineering, and quality teams
