Job Description
Embedded Electronics Quality Control Inspector (PCB / Electronics Experience Required)

Important: This role requires hands-on experience inspecting electronic assemblies or embedded electronics products. Applicants without electronics inspection experience will not be considered.

About GDCA

GDCA has been building high-reliability embedded computing hardware since 1987. Located in Livermore, California, we support demanding industrial and mission-critical programs that require precision manufacturing and rigorous quality standards.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Quality Control Inspector with electronics assembly experience to inspect embedded electronic products throughout the production process. This role ensures that components, printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), and finished systems meet engineering specifications and internal quality standards.

You will work closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, and Logistics to verify product quality and support root cause investigations when issues arise.

Key Responsibilities

Electronics Inspection

  • Inspect incoming electronic components, fabricated items, and PCB assemblies for compliance with specifications and drawings
  • Perform in-process and final inspection of embedded electronic products
  • Verify solder quality, component placement, labeling, and workmanship
Quality Verification
  • Confirm products meet engineering documentation, assembly drawings, and inspection criteria
  • Document inspection results and record quality data
  • Disposition conforming and non-conforming material per internal procedures
Non-Conformance & MRB Support
  • Investigate routine nonconformances and support Materials Review Board (MRB) activities
  • Maintain records and ensure proper handling and documentation of non-conforming material
  • Assist with identifying root causes of recurring quality issues
Production Coordination
  • Coordinate inspection scheduling with Production and Engineering
  • Track inspection times to support quoting and planning
Equipment & Documentation
  • Ensure inspection tools and measurement equipment remain calibrated
  • Maintain inspection documentation, records, and work instructions
