Job description

Position Overview:

The Quality Technician is a hands-on inspection role focused on the parts and components that go into our machines — both during manufacturing and as spare and break-fix parts shipped to machines in the field. You'll be the last line of defense ensuring that nonconforming parts don't make it into a build or out to a customer site, and that known quality issues are actively screened before anything ships.

Job Responsibilities

Incoming Parts Inspection

• Perform detailed incoming inspection of mechanical and electromechanical parts against engineering drawings, specifications, and purchase order requirements
• Verify dimensions, material, finish, and workmanship using standard hand measurement tools including calipers, micrometers, and gauges
• Identify and document nonconformances; initiate NCRs and work with procurement and suppliers to disposition discrepant material
• Maintain accurate receiving inspection records and support supplier quality tracking

Spare & Field Replacement Parts

• Inspect spare parts and break-fix components prior to shipment to field machines, ensuring they meet drawing requirements and are free of known defect conditions
• Cross-reference historical quality issues and active quality alerts to screen outgoing field parts for previously identified failure modes
• Package and label inspected parts in accordance with internal standards; maintain traceability documentation

Quality Systems & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain inspection records, nonconformance logs, and calibration documentation in support of the QMS
• Flag recurring defect trends and contribute to root cause and corrective action (RCCA) efforts
• Support the development and upkeep of quality alerts and lessons-learned documentation to prevent repeat escapes to the field

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent, with 5+ years of experience in quality inspection or quality assurance within a manufacturing environment.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical and electrical engineering drawings
• Proficiency with standard hand measurement tools: calipers, micrometers, gauges, and related equipment
• Experience inspecting both mechanical and electromechanical components and assemblies
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to document findings clearly and completely
• Comfortable working in a production floor environment
