Job Description

Quality Inspector / QC Technician

Location: Rochester, NY

Pay Rate: $28–$34/hour, based on experience

Overview

This third-generation, family-owned precision sheet metal manufacturer has spent over 60 years running the full production lifecycle in-house — from design and tooling through fabrication, robotic welding, and finishing — across 200,000+ square feet of manufacturing space. Growing toward $100M in revenue, they're adding a newly created seat to their Quality team for someone who wants hands-on inspection work on the floor, not a desk in a lab.

You'll handle first piece, receiving, in-process, and final inspection alongside operators, build CMM programs from scratch, run the Faro arm and Virtek, read SolidWorks models against quality plans, and support NPI (FAIRs, PPAPs, capability studies).

Software: CMM programming software (required), SolidWorks (reading), Minitab, Plex

Compensation & Perks

• $28–$34/hour based on experience, plus profit sharing (5%, performance-based)
• 1st shift, fully onsite; overtime possible based on business need (not guaranteed)
• Medical (PPO/HMO) eligible 1st of the month after 30 days
• 401(k) with 50% match up to 6%, eligible upon hire
• 2 weeks PTO plus 4 sick/PTO days, 8 paid holidays

Requirements

• CMM programming experience — must be able to build programs from scratch, not just run existing ones
• Faro arm experience required
• Quality background in a precision manufacturing environment
• Comfortable spending significant time on the production floor working directly with operators
• High school diploma or GED required

Nice to have: ASQ certification, Associate's degree, Virtek, Minitab, Plex

Background check, drug screening, and physical required (drug screening does not test for marijuana).

This is not a remote position — this role is fully onsite. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
