Quality Control Technician

Job Description Summary Quality Control Technician supports machining operations by performing advanced dimensional inspection using CMMs and precision measurement equipment. This role interprets complex engineering requirements (including GD&T) to validate critical features, ensure product conformity, and prevent quality escapes. The Level 3 technician is expected to handle complex part families, troubleshoot measurement/fixturing issues, and coach others on inspection best practices while maintaining strict calibration, traceability, and documentation discipline. Job Description Key Responsibilities Advanced Dimensional Inspection (CMM/Metrology): Execute complex inspection plans using CMM equipment (setup, part alignment, probing strategy verification) per site procedures. Perform advanced dimensional inspection using precision tools (height gage, micrometers, bore gages, indicators, pin/plug gages, surface finish gages as applicable). Apply GD&T to verify form, profile, position, runout, concentricity, datum schemes, and feature relationships. Validate inspection results against drawings, models, routers, and specifications; identify out-of-tolerance conditions and trends. Documentation, Traceability & Data Integrity: Record results accurately in required systems/forms (FAI/in-process/final dimensional records as applicable). Maintain inspection status and part identification to prevent mix/escape (tagging, segregation, traceability). Ensure measurement data is complete, legible, and compliant with site quality processes. Nonconformance Identification & Support: Initiate and document non conformances; support containment and escape prevention actions. Provide objective evidence (CMM reports, manual gage data, photos as allowed) to support Engineering/Quality Engineering investigations. Support MRB activities by summarizing inspection evidence and measurement method used (per site authorization). Metrology Discipline & Capability: Verify gage calibration status before use; ensure proper care/handling and environmental requirements are met. Support measurement studies (e.g., gage R&R) and inspection method validations as assigned. Troubleshoot fixturing, part stability, and repeatability issues; elevate when measurement uncertainty is suspected. Team Support & Continuous Improvement: Mentor Level 1–2 QC technicians in CMM fundamentals, GD&T interpretation, and documentation quality. Partner with Operations on defect prevention (setup verification, in-process control points, reaction plans). Participate in continuous improvement (scrap/rework reduction, FPY improvement) aligned to Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost (SQDC). This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Therefore, employment will be contingent upon the ability to prove that you meet the status of a U.S. Person as one of the following: U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. Citizen, have been granted asylee or refugee status (i.e., a protected individual under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)). Required Qualifications Associate’s Degree or High School Diploma / GED from an accredited school or institution U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a secret clearance Desired Qualifications NDT (IR) Experience and support: If qualified, support or interface with NDT processes (as applicable) and help ensure compliance with required methods and documentation. High school diploma/GED with a minimum of 5 years quality inspection experience in a manufacturing environment; machining/precision components strongly preferred. Demonstrated ability to interpret engineering drawings and GD&T. Demonstrated proficiency with CMM inspection (running programs, setting up parts, interpreting reports) and precision hand gaging. Strong attention to detail and commitment to data integrity and procedural compliance. Experience with FAI (e.g., AS9102) and in-process inspection planning. Experience with CMM programming and knowledge of probing strategies/fixture design concepts. Experience with multi-platform metrology: vision systems, structured light, comparator, and manual precision tools. Familiarity with NCR systems and manufacturing execution or ERP systems. Prior experience mentoring or training other inspectors/technicians. Strong problem-solving skills: demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve inspection or measurement issues. Humble: respectful, receptive, agile, eager to learn. Transparent: shares critical information, speaks with candor, contributes constructively. Focused: quick learner, strategically prioritizes work, committed. Leadership ability: strong communicator, decision-maker, collaborative. Problem solver: analytical-minded, challenges existing processes, critical thinker.
