Precision Metrology Quality Inspector

Job Description

Job Description

You’re Not Just an Employee. You’re an Owner.

At GTC, Ownership For All means eligible full-time employees receive an ownership stake. From day one, you’re not simply joining a team — you’re becoming an owner. Your achievements drive company results and your own success.

Imagine your day: You power up your workstation, review a fresh set of blueprints, and translate specs into a meticulous inspection plan. You set up on the surface plate, reference centerlines, and verify dimensions using CMMs, micrometers, sine bars, optical comparators, and more. First-article inspections confirm the process. When something’s off, you diagnose root causes and recommend adjustments so that every casting, forging, fabrication, assembly, and machined component meets specification — the first time.

Make sure the military gets the best product available by joining our team of expert inspectors.
