Micromachined Components Quality Inspector (Fluid Control)

From your first micrometer reading to the final sign-off before shipment, your day blends hands-on dimensional inspection with programming advanced vision/CMM systems. You’ll be the quality gatekeeper for miniature, precision fluid control components used in aerospace, medical/scientific instrumentation, oil tools, and automotive applications.

• Set up and utilize precision tools — micrometers, verniers, measurement gauges, and vision systems — to verify critical dimensions.
• Program and operate complex automated inspection equipment to execute repeatable, high-accuracy checks.
• Plan and lay out new inspection fixtures and tools; keep all inspection equipment in sound working order.
• Log, transact, and maintain inspection data in the appropriate databases and software systems.
• Perform in-process inspections before parts move to the next operation; complete final inspections to purchase order and sales order requirements prior to shipment.
• Inspect specially manufactured units in partnership with Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering, confirming machines and processes are following prescribed parameters and instructions.
• Make accept/reject decisions within the limits established by Process Specifications and the Quality Control Manual.

• High School Diploma (or GED) and a strong background inspecting machined components.
• Foundational knowledge of metrology, SPC, and GD&T, with hands-on exposure to CMM, vision systems, and automated inspection platforms.
• Comfort interpreting complex drawings, specifications, and both oral and written instructions.
• Ability to sustain focused attention each day, leveraging finger dexterity, hand–eye coordination, and sharp visual acuity.

• AS9100 experience and strong blueprint reading.
• Quality inspection and quality control expertise.
• Precision measurement and hand metrology proficiency.

• Micrometers, verniers, measurement gauges, vision systems, and complex automated inspection equipment.
