Precision Dimensional Inspector — Aerospace, Defense & Medical Devices PrideStaff - San Diego Poway, CA Job Details $26 - $28 an hour 19 hours ago Qualifications Mechanical blueprint interpretation Measurement-based inspection Mechanical drawings Dimensional measurements Precision measurement in machining Quality control records management Quality data entry Full 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.
