    Job Description

    Imagine your day as our Precision Dimensional Inspector

    You come in, grab your gauge cart, and step onto a floor where aerospace, defense, and med‑tech components are machined to exacting standards. Early in the shift, you verify set-ups and run in‑process checks at critical operations. Later, you might switch to a complex final inspection—confirming features to drawing callouts, applying GD&T, and recording results in our electronic quality system. When a geometry gets tricky, you move to the CMM to validate true position or profile. If the program calls for it, you’ll conduct a load test on a structural assembly, following step-by-step procedures before making an objective accept/reject decision.

    Schedules

    • 6:00 am – 2:30 pm, Monday–Friday
    • 12:00 pm – 8:30 pm, Monday–Friday
    • Training on 1st shift

    What you’ll do

    • Perform in‑process dimensional checks at defined manufacturing stages per the inspection plan.
    • Execute final dimensional, visual, cosmetic, and functional inspections on completed parts.
    • Verify parts against engineering drawings and customer specifications using GD&T.
    • Use precision tools: calipers, micrometers, height gauges, pin gauges, go/no‑go gauges, depth gauges, and surface plates.
    • Operate a CMM when required to confirm complex geometries and GD&T callouts.
    • Conduct load testing on structural assemblies per program‑specific procedures when assigned.
    • Accurately capture and store measurements in electronic quality/inspection systems.
    • Complete First Article Inspections to AS9102 requirements when needed.
    • Identify and document nonconformances through the NCR process; make clear accept/reject calls.
    • Confirm manufacturing travelers are complete and all required operations/inspections are recorded.
    • Verify calibration status of inspection equipment prior to use and report due/overdue items.

    What you bring

    • 1+ year of dimensional inspection experience in a manufacturing environment.
    • Hands‑on proficiency with precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, etc.).
    • Ability to interpret engineering drawings.
    • Working knowledge of GD&T symbols and tolerances.
    • Strong attention to detail with objective accept/reject decision‑making.
    • Comfort using digital systems for data entry and record keeping.

    Bonus points

    • CMM operation or programming experience.
    • AS9102 First Article Inspection experience.
    • Background in aerospace, defense, or medical‑device inspection.
    • Experience in AS9100 or ISO 9001 certified environments.
    • Bilingual English/Spanish.
