Quality Control Inspector

Reporting to the Supervisor, Quality Control and Assurance, the Quality Control Inspector is responsible for performing dimensional, visual, and technical inspections of precision-machined components to ensure conformity with engineering drawings, customer specifications, and quality standards. This includes incoming, first-article, in-process, and final inspections using precision measuring instruments and coordinate measuring machines (CMM), as applicable. The role requires strong technical knowledge, attention to detail, autonomy, and a proactive approach to identifying non-conformities and supporting continuous improvement.

• Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, technical specifications, and customer requirements, including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), to determine inspection criteria.

• Perform incoming, first-article, in-process, and final inspections of machined components to verify dimensions, tolerances, material specifications, and workmanship.

• Inspect precision components using measuring equipment such as micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, optical comparators, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM), as applicable.

• Verify first-piece conformity following machine setups and communicate inspection results to machinists before production continues.

• Identify, document, and report dimensional deviations, machining defects, and other non-conformities, collaborating with Production and Quality teams to resolve issues.

• Prepare and complete First Article Inspection (FAI) reports, including ballooned drawings, in accordance with customer requirements and AS9100 quality standards.

• Prepare certificates of conformity and verify inspection records, material certifications, and required documentation prior to product release and shipment.

• Issue non-conformity reports and initiate corrective action requests in accordance with established procedures.

• Maintain accurate inspection records, traceability documentation, and quality data in the ERP system (JobBOSS) and other applicable systems.

• Ensure inspection equipment is properly handled and used in accordance with calibration and quality requirements.

• Provide technical support to machinists regarding inspection methods, dimensional verification, and interpretation of technical drawings.

• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives aimed at improving product quality, inspection processes, and manufacturing efficiency.
