Ready to turn measurements into confidence? Do you enjoy proving parts are right—not just hoping they are? Are CMM programs, GD&T, and calibration second nature? If you’re eager to work alongside production, engineering, and suppliers to ensure every component meets customer, company (RGC), and industry specifications, this role is for you.
Why you’ll love it- Impact from day one: own first-piece, in-process, and final verification so good parts move forward fast.

- Voice in improvement: identify nonconformances, assist corrective actions, and guide operators on best measurement practices.
- Translate blueprints, customer requirements, and control plans into actionable inspections.
- Execute and sustain the calibration system to keep every gauge trustworthy.
- Support PPAP/ISIR packages, capability studies, and first-article builds.
- Maintain organized quality records and customer documentation.
- Participate in internal audits and collaborate in supplier quality initiatives.
- 2–4 years in manufacturing or quality assurance, ideally in precision machining.
- Ability to interpret prints using GD&T and apply precise measurement techniques.
- Required:
hands-on calibration experience. - Comfort with SPC and basic math/geometry.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
- Nice to have: experience with bevel gear manufacturing.
- Coordinate Measuring Machines (Mitutoyo, Hexagon)
- PC-DMIS (and Modus exposure a plus)
- Micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, dial indicators, tooth verniers
- Measurement gauges and a Hofler gear inspection machine
On the production floor within a CNC machining environment—where precision meets pace.
Pay, growth, and benefits- Competitive hourly compensation based on experience
- Growth opportunities inside a quality-first manufacturing organization
- Health insurance
- Dental and Vision
- 401(k)
- Paid time off and Holidays
- GD&T fluency and blueprint reading
