Metrology and CMM Inspection Specialist

Metrology and CMM Inspection Specialist

Imagine this: A production run completes, and a critical customer deadline is on the horizon. You step in, translate complex drawings and GD&T into a metrology plan, confirm key features on the bench with calipers, micrometers, height gages, and dial indicators, then validate form and location on the CMM. You capture results, isolate a nonconformance, and work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with engineering and production to drive a corrective action—keeping quality, schedule, and customer trust intact.

Role Purpose

Guard the dimensional integrity of precision‑machined components from first article through shipment while upholding ISO 9001 standards.

Core Responsibilities

• Execute first article, in‑process, and final inspections
• Operate a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to verify critical dimensions and specifications (experience with Mitutoyo or CMM‑Manager is advantageous)
• Apply blueprint reading skills, GD&T, and welding symbol knowledge to inspection activities
• Perform gauge calibration and maintain inspection assets
• Conduct ISO quality audits; support the quality management system
• Document results, manage nonconforming material, and prepare quality reports
• Contribute to root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Collaborate closely with production and engineering on quality resolutions

What You’ll Need

• Minimum 1 year of quality inspection experience in manufacturing
• Hands‑on proficiency with precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, height gages, dial indicators, and similar)
• Fluency in reading blueprints and applying GD&T
• Working knowledge of ISO 9001
• CMM operation experience; familiarity with Mitutoyo or CMM‑Manager preferred
• Basic weld inspection and understanding of welding symbols
• Exceptional attention to detail and problem‑solving ability
• High school diploma or equivalent

Growth & Environment

• Stable, full‑time role in a clean manufacturing setting
• Opportunities to work with advanced inspection technology
• A team culture centered on quality and continuous improvement
• Competitive, experience‑based pay
