Position: 2nd shift Mechanical Inspector

Location: Avon, OH

Job Id: 673

# of Openings: 1

Position Summary: The Mechanical Inspector inspects precision metal stampings, assemblies, and raw materials at various production and inspection points, including assembly stations, inspection booths, presses, and shipping/receiving docks. This role ensures all products conform to specifications and requires a strong understanding of quality assurance principles and inspection techniques.

Key Responsibilities

• Read blueprints and engineering specifications to obtain product information, such as specified material, surface finish, and dimensions.
• Compare the surface of workpieces to standards using fingertip touch comparison to ensure the specified surface finish.
• Measure dimensions, such as length, height, and distance, using precision instruments (e.g., micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, optical comparators, CMMs, and snap gages).
• Locate reference points on parts and measure dimensions (angles, arcs, and radii) using aids such as surface plates, parallel bars, angle plates, gage blocks, V-blocks, sine bars, and precision instruments.
• Document findings on inspection sheets and report issues to supervisors.
• Test first-run parts and verify the accuracy of inspection equipment.
• Test hardness of workpieces using hardness testing machines.
• Conduct training for and evaluate the initial work of probationary inspectors.
• Perform other customer-driven or product-driven duties as assigned by the supervisor.
• Handle parts balancing requests from customers.
• Check part balance during production runs, including first parts produced, as required by production procedures.
• Calibrate static balancers to an internal computer-generated setting for measurement.
• Use static balancers to measure part balance and record data.
• Conduct capability studies to determine if parts meet customer specifications.
• Notify the Director of Quality Assurance or engineers of defective parts.

Experience

• Minimum of two years of on-the-job experience in mechanical inspection or a role involving routine mechanical inspection.
• Knowledge of basic quality terms, definitions, and concepts.
• Understanding of statistical terms and techniques, including plotting data and recognizing out-of-control conditions.
• Familiarity with measurement types, terminology, scales, and calibration.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and knowledge of critical, major, and minor characteristics.
• Understanding of GD&T and the x, y, z coordinate system.
• Proficiency in using inspection planning tools, conducting product audits, and determining sample sizes.
• Strong mathematical skills, including measurement conversions and solving for x.
• Attention to detail for solving complex problems.
• Effective communication skills for giving and receiving detailed information.
• Ability to work in an interactive manufacturing environment requiring teamwork and courtesy.

Physical Requirements

• Good overall health to meet strenuous work demands.
• Visual acuity for detailed inspections.
• Manual dexterity and mobility for extensive walking, climbing, stooping, and kneeling.
