Job description

Shape Product Quality, One Measurement at a Time

Based in Westminster, MD, you will be the go-to expert who verifies that every mechanical component and assembly meets exacting specifications. Your day moves from blueprint to bench: interpreting drawings, setting up gauges, capturing precise measurements, and partnering with engineering and production to keep quality at the center of everything we ship.

A Day in the Life

Morning might start with a complex assembly. You’ll review the mechanical drawing, confirm tolerances, and perform a full dimensional check using calipers, micrometers, gauges, and CMM. Midday, you’ll log inspection findings and flag any nonconformances with crisp documentation. In the afternoon, you might join a root cause discussion with engineers, propose corrective actions, and help refine a control plan or inspection protocol. You’ll wrap by updating records and staying current on the latest standards and best practices.

Core Responsibilities

• Perform detailed inspections of mechanical parts and assemblies to verify alignment with drawings, specifications, and standards.
• Use a range of precision tools and test equipment to assess quality and functional performance.
• Capture, organize, and maintain accurate inspection data and reports for quality assurance.
• Work cross-functionally with engineering and production to surface issues and drive resolution.
• Contribute to root cause analysis and implement corrective and preventive actions that elevate product quality.
• Support the creation and rollout of quality procedures, checklists, and protocols.
• Remain up to date on industry standards and evolving quality methodologies.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training or certification in quality/mechanical inspection preferred.
• Hands-on experience in mechanical inspection or quality assurance within a manufacturing setting.
• Strong fluency in reading mechanical drawings, specifications, and quality standards.
