Dimensional & Coatings Quality Technician (Metal Stamping/Welding)

Let’s get right to it—does this sound like you?

• Enjoy moving between stamping presses, weld cells, machining centers, and paint lines—measuring what matters?
• Confident calling a part good or bad using prints, GD&T, and the right gauges?
• Calm under pressure when a containment wall must go up fast—and thorough with the documentation behind it?

What you’ll tackle

• By process:
  • Stamping/Forming/Laser — Inspect for splits, cracks, wrinkles, excessive burrs, die marks, distortion, springback, edge condition, flatness, bend angles, and dimensional variation.
  • Welding — Check weld size, location, profile, porosity, undercut, spatter, burn‑through, cracks, distortion, fit-up, and workmanship.
  • CNC Machining — Verify dimensions, hole sizes, thread quality, surface finish, and CTQ features.
  • E‑Coat/Powder Coat — Validate coverage, dry film thickness, adhesion, cure, color, gloss, contamination, orange peel, craters, chips, bare spots, and runs with thickness gauges and visual standards.
  • CMM — Operate CMM and execute established programs as required.
• Quality control: Perform receiving, first-piece/first-off, first article (FAI), in‑process, last-piece/last-off, final, rework, and containment inspections.
• Containment & problem-solving: Tag/segregate nonconforming material (NCRs), build containment, and support 5‑Why, Fishbone, Pareto, 8D, and CAPA activities.
• Records & traceability: Enter results into QMS/ERP, Excel logs, layout reports, and SPC; preserve full part and material traceability.
• Customer readiness: Support PPAP, APQP, control plan verification, and customer-specific documentation.
• Team enablement: Verify incoming raw materials against POs, drawings, and Certificates of Conformance; coach operators on defect ID, gauge use, inspection needs, and reaction plans; assist with IATF 16949 / ISO 9001 audits (internal, customer, layered).

Must-haves

• High school diploma or GED (technical credential in manufacturing/quality/metrology/machining/welding preferred).
• At least 2 years in a manufacturing quality inspection role (automotive/metal fabrication/stamping/welding/machining/coating).
• Blueprint reading and GD&T (ASME Y14.5); work instructions and control plans.
• Hands-on with calipers, micrometers, height gauges, plug/thread/bore/go/no‑go gauges, and fixtures.
• Basic Excel and ERP/QMS data entry.
• Accuracy, attention to detail, and decisive pass/fail judgment under time pressure.

Nice-to-haves

• CMM operation or program execution (PC‑DMIS, Calypso, MCOSMOS, CMM Manager).
• Advanced metrology tools (FARO Arm, Hexagon arm, optical comparator, profilometer).
• Weld inspection training/certs (AWS, CWI, CAWI).
• Experience reviewing material certs and supplier inspection records.

Perks

• 401(k) with company match
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid company holidays
• Paid Time Off (PTO) and vacation
