Whether you're just getting started in precision metrology or you're a seasoned inspector with years of CMM and GD&T experience, we want to hear from you. We build careers here, not just inspection logs — and if precision work done well matters to you, you'll fit right in.

• Read and interpret technical drawings and GD&T callouts to verify dimensional and quality requirements

• Document inspection findings accurately and completely in our MES (ProShop ERP) in compliance with AS9100/ISO9001 standards

• Conduct visual inspections for surface defects such as nicks, scratches, and finish inconsistencies

• Support non-conformance investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective action efforts

• Identify and implement process improvement opportunities within your work area

• Collaborate daily with machinists, engineers, and quality teammates to keep production moving without sacrificing accuracy

• Support newer team members by sharing inspection techniques, tool knowledge, and documentation best practices

• Maintain organized, safe, and compliant work areas in accordance with all company safety protocols

• Support other shop floor functions as needed, including CNC machine operation, post-processing of additively manufactured parts, mechanical assembly, and vendor logistics

What We're Looking For

• High School Diploma or equivalent required; associate's degree in Quality, Manufacturing Technology, or a related field is a plus

• Candidates at all experience levels are encouraged to apply.

• Hands-on experience with precision metrology tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, thread gauges, bore gauges) or a strong eagerness to learn

• Ability to read technical drawings; working knowledge of GD&T principles is a plus

• Familiarity with CMM operation (Zeiss/Calypso preferred) is a bonus

• Experience with ERP or MES systems; ProShop familiarity is a plus

• Knowledge of or exposure to AS9100/ISO9001 quality standards preferred

• Strong attention to detail and a consistent commitment to accuracy and follow-through

• Clear, professional communication skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset

• A genuine investment in your own growth — we reward curiosity, initiative, and continuous learning

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand, walk, and move throughout the shop floor for extended periods

• Ability to lift and carry parts and equipment up to 50 lbs

• Comfortable working in a manufacturing environment with exposure to noise, machinery, and varying temperatures

• Required to wear appropriate PPE at all times, including eye protection and hearing protection
