Job Description

About the Role

We're hiring a Quality Calibration Technician to keep our aerospace manufacturing operation precise, compliant, and running smoothly. You'll be the go-to person for calibrating and certifying the tools, gages, and inspection equipment our production teams rely on every day — including hands-on work with CMM equipment and PC-DMIS software. If you're detail-oriented, comfortable with precision measurement, and want to grow your skills in metrology and quality systems, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Calibrate, certify, and verify gages, micrometers, calipers, indicators, and check fixtures
• Program and operate Coordinate Measuring Machines (Hexagon CMM) using PC-DMIS Quindos software
• Inspect tubes, tooling, fixtures, gears, and machined components for dimensional accuracy
• Maintain calibration records and ensure traceability to NIST standards
• Manage tool crib inventory — issuing, tracking, and maintaining tools and equipment
• Read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T requirements
• Support internal and customer audits and AS9100 compliance activities
• Investigate nonconformances and help drive corrective actions

What We're Looking For

• High school diploma or GED (required); associate degree in a related technical field a plus
• 2–3 years of experience in calibration, metrology, tool crib operations, Hexagon CMM operation, or quality inspection (aerospace/manufacturing environment preferred)
• Comfortable with measuring instruments and willing to learn Hexagon CMM/PC-DMIS Quindos if not already experienced
• Strong attention to detail and solid documentation habits
• Basic math skills (fractions, decimals, ratios, tolerances)
• ASQ CCT/CQT certification or PC-DMIS training a plus, but not required

Physical Requirements

Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand/walk for extended periods, and pass periodic vision exams to ensure measurement accuracy. Work is performed in a combination of tool crib, inspection lab, and manufacturing floor environments.

Why Work Here

• Comprehensive medical coverage, vision, dental
• Paid sick leave and paid vacation
• 401k retirement plan
• Costco membership
