Job description

A day in this roleYou start your morning in our Sterling, VA headquarters by confirming that every gage and instrument you’ll touch is in calibration. Coffee in hand, you review customer requirements, engineering drawings, and specs, mapping out inspections for incoming materials, work-in-process, and finished parts. You queue up a PC-DMIS program on the CMM for a complex aerospace component, apply GD&T callouts, and validate dimensions. After lunch, you pivot to the FARO Arm and PolyWorks to capture critical features on a fabricated assembly, complementing the scan with manual checks using micrometers, calipers, height gages, indicators, and optical equipment. A First Article Inspection (AS9102) lands on your bench—you build out the report, document everything in High QA, and flag a potential nonconformance. You collaborate with Production, Engineering, and Quality to investigate root cause and recommend corrective action—all while maintaining meticulous records aligned to AS9100 and ISO 9001:2015 procedures. Before you wrap, you log non-destructive test results, straighten your bench, and ensure the area is clean, organized, and safe.About Pro-Type IndustriesWe’re a third-generation, family-owned manufacturer established in 1969.
