Manufacturing Quality Control Technician
Shape quality from the first molded part to the final packaged product.
You step onto the production floor with a checklist in hand and an eye for details others might miss. Gauges and calipers at the ready, you confirm press cycle times, scan molded parts for defects, and verify critical dimensions. A little later, you’re running leak and fit tests, reviewing labels for accuracy, and greenlighting only what meets spec. When something’s off, you quarantine it, document it, and help drive a fix. That’s a typical day for our Manufacturing Quality Control Technician.
