Why This Role Exists

This role exists to strengthen Rennscott’s quality assurance function across manufacturing, machining, and additive production. As production volume and complexity increase, this position ensures that every part meets strict engineering, customer, and regulatory requirements before shipment.

In this role, you will:

• Perform incoming, in‑process, and final inspections to ensure part quality at every stage.
• Conduct dimensional inspections using precision tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, thread gauges, etc.).
• Identify and document visual defects (scratches, burrs, surface finish issues, coating defects, contamination).
• Operate CMM (Zeiss / Calypso) for pre‑programmed inspection routines.
• Load/unload parts, verify setups, and interpret inspection results.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T requirements.
• Maintain accurate inspection records in ProShop MES.
• Support non‑conformance reporting, root cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Communicate clearly with machinists and engineers regarding defects and deviations.
• Provide real‑time feedback to help identify process‑related issues.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives.
• Assist in additional shop support tasks when required (cross‑functional role exposure).

Machines, Tools & Systems

You will work with:

• CMM Systems: Zeiss (Calypso software)
• Measurement Tools: Micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, thread gauges
• Software: ProShop MES
• Engineering Docs: Technical drawings, GD&T standards

Materials & Components

You may inspect parts made from:

• Aluminum
• Stainless steel
• Alloy steels
• Titanium
• Plastics and engineered materials
• Additively manufactured (3D printed) components
