Quality Control Inspector

Direct Hire position with full benefits

Location: On site

Chattanooga, Tn.

The Quality Control Inspector performs dimensional and visual inspections throughout the production cycle to ensure products meet customer, regulatory, and internal quality requirements. This role uses precision measuring equipment and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) to verify conformance on Nuclear, DoE, DoD, and AS9100/ISO9001 projects.

This role is evaluated on two equally weighted dimensions: Competency (what you do) and Culture (how you do it).

1. Dimensional Inspection & Measurement

Perform first article, in-process, and final inspections using precision measuring equipment and CMMs to verify product conformance.

2. Receiving & In-Process Verification

Perform receipt inspection of materials, parts, and consumables, and execute QC witness/hold points per work travelers.

3. Quality Compliance & Customer Interface

Ensure all inspection activities meet QA program and customer requirements, and interface with customers and production personnel.

The following three areas represent the most critical responsibilities for this role. Together, they define the scope of work that drives success for the Quality Control Inspector.

1. Dimensional Inspection & Measurement

Perform precise dimensional inspections at every stage of production to verify that Master Machine’s products meet drawing specifications, GD&T requirements, and customer quality standards.

First Article, In-Process & Final Inspection

• Perform dimensional inspections (first article, in-process, and final) using conventional precision measuring equipment including vernier style calipers, vernier style micrometers, and height gages
• Interpret engineering drawings and apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to inspection activities
• Document all inspection results accurately and maintain traceability throughout the production cycle

2. Receiving & In-Process Verification

Verify incoming materials and in-process work at defined control points to ensure all products and components meet quality requirements before advancing through production.

Receipt Inspection

• Perform receipt inspection of materials, parts, and consumables against purchase order specifications
• Maintain QA-controlled inventory and ensure incoming materials are properly identified and stored
• Verify material certifications and test reports accompany incoming shipments

Witness & Hold Point Execution

• Perform assigned QC witness and hold points as identified in work travelers
• Verify that all inspection activities are performed according to customer requirements, procedures, and contract agreements
• May require traveling to customer or supplier facilities for off-site inspection activities

3. Quality Compliance & Customer Interface

Ensure all inspection work supports QA program requirements and contribute to a professional quality interface with customers and production teams.
