Position Overview

As a Parts Inspector, you are the final line of defense ensuring our high-precision cutting tools won't fail when a customer puts them to work. You will be responsible for verifying that all raw materials, in-process parts, and finished products meet strict engineering and dimensional specifications. This role requires working with very small tolerances and numbers, requiring an exceptional eye for detail.

Key Responsibilities

• Precision Measurement: Measure dimensions of products to verify conformance to strict engineering prints using precision instruments such as calipers, micrometers, pin gages, height gages, and rulers.
• Quality Testing: Inspect, test, and sample incoming materials and finished company products (like drill bits and machining parts) for microscopic defects, chips, or irregularities.
• Defect Management: Identify, discard, or reject products, materials, and equipment that do not meet company specifications; recommend items for rework or scrap.
• Documentation: Log, track, and document inspection data to provide clear feedback to production cells and engineering teams regarding product non-conformance.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: Previous Parts Inspection or Quality Assurance experience is preferred, but can train mechanically inclined candidates with a passion for quality control.
• Skills: Excellent vision, sharp attention to detail, and great communication skills. Comfort reading and working with very small numbers/measurements is required.
• Reliability: A solid work history with a proven track record of longevity at previous employers. Must provide an updated and current resume reflecting all work history.
• Physical Demands: Ability to comfortably lift up to 50 lbs. occasionally.
• Screening: Must be able to pass a pre-employment drug screen.

Full Benefits (Post-Conversion)

After a successful initial 3-month period, you will transition to permanent hire and become eligible for our comprehensive corporate benefits package:

• ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan): Become an actual owner of the company and build wealth as the business grows.
• 401(k) Retirement: Secure your future with a generous company matching program.
• Healthcare: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision packages to keep you and your family healthy.
