QC Inspector II

The Quality Control Inspector II is a senior-level inspection role responsible for verifying product quality through advanced inspection methods, CMM programming, and deep interpretation of engineering drawings and GD&T. This position performs receiving, in-process, and final inspections on machined and molded components across aerospace and industrial applications. QC Inspector II also supports quality planning, corrective action processes, and procedure development in compliance with AS9100 and ISO standards.

In addition to standard inspection duties, this role involves programming and operating Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), maintaining calibration systems, and assisting in Quality System audits and reviews. Strong documentation, communication, and analytical skills are essential, along with a proactive approach to continuous improvement.

• Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in mechanical inspection within a precision machining or molding environment (required)
• Prior experience in aerospace or engineered industrial manufacturing environments (preferred)
• Demonstrated proficiency with GD&T per ANSI Y14.5, including tolerance interpretation and calculations
• Hands-on experience operating and programming Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs); experience with CMM Manager software (preferred)
• Familiarity with AS9100 and ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems

• Advanced Metrology – Skilled in the use of micrometers, calipers, height gauges, thread gauges, and advanced measurement tools
• CMM Operation & Programming – Experience operating and programming Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), including DCC-based systems; familiarity with CMM Manager software (preferred)
• Drawing Interpretation & GD&T – Deep understanding of engineering drawings, tolerance stacks, and geometric dimensioning per ANSI Y14.5
• Inspection Planning – Ability to interpret quality requirements, develop inspection methods, and perform first article, in-process, and final inspections
• Molded Part Inspection – Understanding of dimensional inspection practices for molded components in addition to machined parts
• Quality Systems – Working knowledge of AS9100 and ISO 9001 quality standards, internal auditing, QMS documentation, and management review processes
• Calibration Systems – Understanding of calibration schedules, traceability requirements, and proper handling of inspection equipment
• Nonconformance Handling – Familiar with root cause analysis, deviation documentation, and participation in corrective and preventive action processes

• Proficient in manual inspection using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and height measurement tools
• Skilled in operating and programming CMMs for dimensional verification of complex parts
• Strong blueprint reading with expert-level GD&T interpretation and tolerance stack analysis
• Able to conduct thorough first article, in-process, and final inspections with minimal oversight
• Competent in generating and documenting non-conformances, deviations, and inspection reports
• Effective written and verbal communication across departments, including Quality, Production, and Engineering
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel); capable of maintaining digital inspection logs and audit documentation
• Strong organizational and recordkeeping skills to support traceability and compliance
• Capable of working independently and leading by example in a collaborative team environment

• No direct supervisory authority
• May mentor or assist less experienced inspectors and support technician training when appropriate
• Responsible for escalating quality issues and participating in resolution efforts involving multiple departments

• Primarily based in inspection labs and on the production floor
• Regular interaction with machinists, production leads, quality engineers, and planning staff
• Moderate to high noise levels; exposure to machining fluids, particulates, and plastic molding environments
• Exposure to sharp tools, burrs, metal chips, and molded component edges
• Risk of repetitive strain, pinching, or impact if safety procedures are…
