Full-time
Cadence Inc
Job Description
Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Quality Technician to join our Suffield team. This role is critical in ensuring product quality for precision-manufactured components in a highly regulated environment.
You’ll bring strong technical inspection skills, the ability to interpret complex drawings and tolerances, and experience working in industries where quality standards are non-negotiable (aerospace, medical, or similar). This role also serves as a key partner to production—helping identify issues, support root cause analysis, and drive continuous improvement.
What You’ll Do- Perform detailed inspections on precision metal components with tight tolerances
- Interpret blueprints, specifications, and GD&T requirements
- Utilize precision measuring tools including calipers, micrometers, and gages
- Program and operate CMM equipment (e.g., Micro-Vu, Wenzel or similar systems)
- Document inspection results and ensure compliance with quality standards
- Partner with production teams to identify and resolve quality issues
- Support root cause analysis and corrective actions
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and process enhancements
- Provide guidance and support to less experienced team members as needed
As a Group Lead, you'll also:
- Function as a working lead, balancing job responsibilities with team coordination
- Lead/support daily production execution and workflow coordination
- Acts as a primary escalation point for quality issues
- Operate with high ownership of process performance (no formal people management authority)
- 5–10 years of quality inspection experience in a precision manufacturing environment
- Experience inspecting metal components with tight tolerances
- Background in aerospace, medical device, or other regulated industries (ISO 13485 or similar)
- Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
- Hands-on experience with:
- Calipers, micrometers, and precision gaging
- CMM operation (Micro-Vu, Wenzel, or similar)
- Ability to work independently and make sound quality decisions
- Prior experience in a lead or informal leadership role preferred
- Work on high-precision, high-impact products
- Stable, team-oriented environment
- Opportunities to contribute to process improvements and quality excellence
- Competitive compensation aligned to experience and market
