Quality Assurance Inspector

Harbinger Network has partnered with a leading a custom CNC machining shop specializing in precision, low-to-medium volume work where quality matters as much as speed. We’re looking for a Quality Assurance Inspector who takes pride in doing things right the first time and who enjoys working closely with machining, engineering, and production teams to ensure consistent, high-quality parts.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands machining processes, tight tolerances, and the realities of a shop-floor environment.

• Perform in-process and final inspections of machined components to ensure conformance with engineering drawings and specifications
• Read and interpret complex blueprints, including GD&T
• Use a variety of precision measuring instruments such as calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, height gauges, and other inspection equipment (these will be brought to the interview!)
• Support root cause analysis, non-conformance reporting, and corrective actions
• Work closely with machinists and supervisors to resolve quality issues and prevent recurrence
• Maintain inspection records and support audits as required
• Uphold and continuously improve quality standards and inspection processes
• Exercise authority to stop production when quality concerns arise

• 3-5 years previous experience in a quality inspection or quality assurance role within a CNC machining or custom machining environment
• Strong understanding of machining processes (milling, turning, multi-axis machining)
• Ability to inspect parts with tight tolerances (±0.001" or tighter)
• Proficient in blueprint reading and GD&T
• Comfortable working independently on the shop floor
• Experience with aerospace, automotive, or high-precision custom parts is an asset

• Experience working within a formal quality system (ISO 9000/9001)
• Familiarity with inspection documentation such as FAIRs, NCRs, MRBs, and CAPAs
• Experience with CMM operation and a huge bonus if you can program using Calypso software

• Detail-oriented, methodical, and quality-driven
• Confident communicating with machinists, engineers, and leadership
• Collaborative mindset — focused on problem-solving, not policing
• Comfortable balancing quality requirements with production realities

• Challenging, non-repetitive work in a custom machining environment
• Competitive compensation starting at $24 for schooling only experience and up from there
• Incredible 100% company paid benefits (LTD you still pay for)
• Rotating overtime on Saturdays (likely 1x/mth will you work on saturday)
• Ability to earn additional time off (up to 6 days/year) and quarterly bonus's
