Quality Control Inspector - CMM / GD&T (Aerospace)

What You Will Do: Our quality team is looking for a hands-on dimensional inspector who can run a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with PC-DMIS, read complex blueprints, and stand behind every measurement. You will inspect first articles, in-process work, finished parts, and incoming material, and you will be the person who catches a bad setup before it becomes a bad part.- Run approved PC-DMIS inspection programs on the CMM, review the data, and produce inspection reports- Before accepting a result, confirm the part ID, drawing revision, program, fixturing, probe qualification, and alignment- Perform first article (FAI), in-process, final, and receiving inspection as assigned- Interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T per ASME Y14.5, to the revision called out by the drawing or customer- Apply datum reference frames, feature control frames, basic dimensions, true position, profile, flatness, perpendicularity, parallelism, and runout to real setups and results- Work with MMC, LMC, RFS, and bonus tolerance where they apply- Verify features manually with micrometers, calipers, height gauges, dial indicators, pin gauges, and a surface plate- Investigate unexpected readings and escalate setup, alignment, program, or print-interpretation questions- Record results accurately with full traceability to part, job, drawing revision, and gauge- Tag and segregate nonconforming material per procedure and alert Quality and Production promptly- Help prepare AS9102 first article inspection reports when customers require them- Check calibration status, perform routine operator checks and cleaning, and report gauge or machine problems- Contribute to root cause analysis, corrective action, and better inspection methods- Keep the inspection area organized and follow quality and safety procedures What You Bring (Required)- 2+ years of dimensional or quality inspection experience in manufacturing, including hands-on CMM operation- PC-DMIS experience loading and running existing programs, checking alignments, and interpreting results- Ability to read engineering drawings and apply GD&T to actual parts and setups- Skilled with precision hand gauges and manual dimensional inspection- Understanding of how fixturing, alignment, cleanliness, and temperature affect measurement accuracy- Strong attention to detail and accurate, complete record-keeping- Clear communicator who can explain inspection findings to Quality and Production- Basic computer skills, including Microsoft Excel and electronic inspection or manufacturing records- Works independently within procedures and knows when to ask for technical guidance

Nice to Have: PC-DMIS programming: creating, editing, troubleshooting, and validating CMM programs- Inspection of precision CNC machined parts, fabrications, or assemblies- AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality system experience- AS9102 FAI documentation experience- Knowledge of CNC milling, turning, or fabrication processes- SPC and MSA familiarity- Training or certification in metrology, GD&T, or quality inspection Work Environment and Physical Requirements- Inspection area and shop floor with normal manufacturing noise- Extended standing or sitting while setting up parts, running equipment, and documenting results- Precise positioning of parts and gauges requiring manual dexterity- Lift and move parts up to 50 lbs, with assistance or lifting equipment as appropriate- Essential functions performed with or without reasonable accommodation
