Responsibilities Perform incoming, in-process, first-article, and final inspections of complex machined parts and assemblies. Read, interpret, and apply complex blueprints, sketches, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing), written specifications, and verbal instructions. Use standard and advanced inspection equipment, including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, pin gauges, thread gauges, optical comparators, CMMs, and other metrology tools. Complete first article inspection reports and maintain accurate inspection documentation. Identify, document, and communicate nonconforming material or parts. Collaborate with machinists, supervisors, and other team members to identify probable causes of defects and support corrective actions. Make sound accept/reject decisions in accordance with drawings, specifications, and inspection requirements. Apply shop math, including geometry and trigonometry, to inspection and measurement activities. Maintain a clean, organized, and safe inspection area and properly handle inspection equipment. Qualifications At least 5 years of hands-on quality inspection experience in a machine shop, precision manufacturing, CNC machining, or similar mechanical manufacturing environment. Demonstrated proficiency performing mechanical inspections of close-tolerance parts. Strong ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings, dimensions, tolerances, and GD&T.
