Quality Control Inspector

Summary:

The Quality Control Inspector helps ensure that products meet company, customer, and industry quality standards throughout the manufacturing process. This role performs inspection and quality-control activities across production, documents results, and works with production teams to identify and resolve quality issues. This is a mid-level, hands-on quality position: the technician works with a good degree of independence and is expected to handle routine and moderately complex inspection tasks without close supervision, but the role does not carry lead, supervisory, or quality-engineering responsibilities. The Quality Control Inspector supports the broader quality system and contributes to a culture of continuous improvement.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

• Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspection of parts and assemblies against drawings, work orders, and customer specifications.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and moderately complex GD&T callouts.
• Use precision measurement tools—calipers, micrometers, height gauges, dial indicators, and similar equipment—to verify dimensional accuracy.
• Complete first article and other inspection documentation for new or revised parts under the guidance of the Quality Manager.
• Document inspection results, maintain accurate quality records, and complete nonconformance reports for discrepant material.
• Identify, tag, and segregate nonconforming material; support root-cause and corrective-action discussions.
• Maintain and help calibrate inspection gauges and measurement equipment; keep calibration records current.
• Verify material certifications, traceability, and process paperwork accompany parts as required by the customer or contract.
• Support internal audits and customer inspections; help maintain quality-system documentation.
• Communicate quality issues clearly to production teams to help prevent recurrence.
• Assist in training entry-level inspectors on basic inspection methods and documentation, as directed.
• Follow all safety, PPE, and housekeeping requirements in a manufacturing environment.
