Dimensional Inspection Team Lead (Precision Manufacturing)
Your mission
Picture this: a critical component for a Defense or Nuclear application is on your bench. Tolerances are unforgiving. You orchestrate the inspection plan, program the CMM, validate features with micrometers and comparators, and coach a teammate through an AS9102-compliant first article. By day’s end, the report is complete, nonconformances are addressed with production, and the path to a better process is documented. If that scenario energizes you, let’s talk.
Who we are
Accurate Marking & Manufacturing (AM&M), based in New Kensington, PA, has engineered precision solutions since 1968, serving sectors including Defense, Nuclear, Pump/Hydraulic, Robotics, and beyond. Our employees-first philosophy, flat structure, and sustained growth have built a high-morale, low-turnover environment where great ideas move fast.
How you’ll contribute
- Lead the inspection function—assign work, mentor team members, and reinforce rigorous procedures.
- Program/operate manual and CNC CMMs to perform exacting dimensional checks.
- Interpret engineering drawings, specs, and blueprints to confirm compliance.
- Apply advanced metrology—micrometers, calipers, gauges, and Mitutoyo optical comparators—plus CMM software analysis.
- Perform first-article inspections (AS9102), in-process verification, and final audits.
- Document and investigate nonconformances; collaborate with operations on corrective actions.
- Produce thorough records and inspection reports that meet ISO 9001 and AS9100 standards.
- Promote a safe, orderly workspace and drive continuous improvement for efficiency and throughput.
What you’ll need to succeed
- 3–5+ years in manufacturing inspection with demonstrated manual/CNC CMM mastery.
