Dimensional Metrology Inspector

Day-in-the-life: Dimensional Metrology Inspector

Picture your day starting at a spotless inspection cell. You verify your gages are calibrated, review the traveler and blueprint, then run a first article on a newly machined part. Micrometers and height gages confirm key features, and a CMM program validates critical dimensions and GD&T callouts. You capture results, flag any nonconformances, and huddle with the machinist and engineer to close the loop. As production continues, you perform in-process checks, complete final inspections, and keep our ISO 9001 quality system humming with accurate records and periodic audits.

What you’ll tackle

• First article, in-process, and final inspections on precision-manufactured components
• Use of calipers, micrometers, height gages, dial indicators, and related inspection tools
• Operation of CMM equipment to verify dimensions, features, and specifications
• Interpretation of blueprints, engineering drawings, GD&T, and welding symbols
• Gage calibration activities and upkeep of inspection equipment
• Support for ISO quality audits and adherence to the quality management system
• Documentation of inspection results, nonconforming material, and quality reports
• Participation in root cause investigations and corrective actions
• Close collaboration with production and engineering to resolve quality issues

What you bring

• 1+ year of quality inspection experience in a manufacturing environment
• Hands-on skill with precision measuring instruments
• Fluency in reading blueprints and applying GD&T
• Working knowledge of ISO 9001 systems
• Experience running CMMs (Mitutoyo, CMM-Manager, or similar a plus)
• Familiarity with welding symbols and basic weld inspection
• Sharp attention to detail and a practical problem-solving mindset
• High school diploma or equivalent

Why you’ll appreciate this role

• Stable full-time position in a clean, organized manufacturing environment
• Access to advanced inspection and metrology equipment
• Team culture centered on quality and continuous improvement
• Competitive pay commensurate with experience
