Job Description Summary

Quality Control Technician supports machining operations by performing advanced dimensional inspection using CMMs and precision measurement equipment. This role interprets complex engineering requirements (including GD&T) to validate critical features, ensure product conformity, and prevent quality escapes. The Level 3 technician is expected to handle complex part families, troubleshoot measurement/fixturing issues, and coach others on inspection best practices while maintaining strict calibration, traceability, and documentation discipline.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

Advanced Dimensional Inspection (CMM/Metrology)

• Execute complex inspection plans using CMM equipment (setup, part alignment, probing strategy verification) per site procedures.
• Perform advanced dimensional inspection using precision tools (height gage, micrometers, bore gages, indicators, pin/plug gages, surface finish gages as applicable).
• Apply GD&T to verify form, profile, position, runout, concentricity, datum schemes, and feature relationships.
• Validate inspection results against drawings, models, routers, and specifications; identify out-of-tolerance conditions and trends.
• Shift: 1st shift 6am-2:30pm

Documentation, Traceability & Data Integrity

• Record results accurately in required systems/forms (FAI/in-process/final dimensional records as applicable).
• Maintain inspection status and part identification to prevent mix/escape (tagging, segregation, traceability).
• Ensure measurement data is complete, legible, and compliant with site quality processes.

Nonconformance Identification & Support

• Initiate and document non conformances; support containment and escape prevention actions.
• Provide objective evidence (CMM reports, manual gage data, photos as allowed) to support Engineering/Quality Engineering investigations.
• Support MRB activities by summarizing inspection evidence and measurement method used (per site authorization).

Metrology Discipline & Capability

• Verify gage calibration status before use; ensure proper care/handling and environmental requirements are met.
• Support measurement studies (e.g., gage R&R) and inspection method validations as assigned.
• Troubleshoot fixturing, part stability, and repeatability issues; escalate when measurement uncertainty is suspected.

Team Support & Continuous Improvement

• Mentor Level 1–2 QC technicians in CMM fundamentals, GD&T interpretation, and documentation quality.
• Partner with Operations on defect prevention (setup verification, in-process control points, reaction plans).
• Participate in continuous improvement (scrap/rework reduction, FPY improvement) aligned to Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost (SQDC).

Required Qualifications

• Associate’s Degree or High School Diploma / GED from an accredited school or institution

• U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a secret clearance

Desired Qualifications

• NDT (IR) Experience and support: If qualified, support or interface with NDT processes (as applicable) and help ensure compliance with required methods and documentation.
• High school diploma/GED with a minimum of 5 years quality inspection experience in a manufacturing environment; machining/precision components strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret engineering drawings and GD&T.
• Demonstrated proficiency with CMM inspection (running programs, setting up parts, interpreting reports) and precision hand gaging.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to data integrity and procedural compliance.
• Experience with FAI (e.g., AS9102) and in-process inspection planning.
• Experience with CMM programming and knowledge of probing strategies/fixture design concepts.
• Experience with multi-platform metrology: vision systems, structured light, comparator, and manual precision tools
• Familiarity with NCR systems and manufacturing execution or ERP systems
• Prior experience mentoring or training other inspectors/technicians.
• Strong problem-solving skills: demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve inspection or measurement issues.
• Humble: respectful, receptive, agile, eager to learn​
• Transparent: shares critical information, speaks with candor, contributes constructively​
• Focused: quick learner, strategically prioritizes work, committed ​
• Leadership ability: strong communicator, decision-maker, collaborative​
• Problem solver: analytical-minded, challenges existing processes, critical thinker
