Quality Tech 1
Location: Newark
Job Description Summary
Quality Control Technician supports machining operations by performing advanced dimensional inspection using CMMs and precision measurement equipment. This role interprets complex engineering requirements (including GD&T) to validate critical features, ensure product conformity, and prevent quality escapes. The Level 3 technician is expected to handle complex part families, troubleshoot measurement/fixturing issues, and coach others on inspection best practices while maintaining strict calibration, traceability, and documentation discipline.Job Description
Advanced Dimensional Inspection (CMM/Metrology)
Execute complex inspection plans using CMM equipment (setup, part alignment, probing strategy verification) per site procedures.
Perform advanced dimensional inspection using precision tools (height gage, micrometers, bore gages, indicators, pin/plug gages, surface finish gages as applicable).
Apply GD&T to verify form, profile, position, runout, concentricity, datum schemes, and feature relationships.
Validate inspection results against drawings, models, routers, and specifications; identify out-of-tolerance conditions and trends.
Shift: 1st shift 6am-2:30pm
Documentation, Traceability & Data Integrity
Record results accurately in required systems/forms (FAI/in-process/final dimensional records as applicable).
Maintain inspection status and part identification to prevent mix/escape (tagging, segregation, traceability).
Ensure measurement data is complete, legible, and compliant with site quality processes.
Nonconformance Identification & Support
Initiate and document non conformances; support containment and escape prevention actions.
Provide objective evidence (CMM reports, manual gage data, photos as allowed) to support Engineering/Quality Engineering investigations.
Support MRB activities by summarizing inspection evidence and measurement method used (per site authorization).
Metrology Discipline & Capability
Verify gage calibration status before use; ensure proper care/handling and environmental requirements are met.
Support measurement studies (e.g., gage R&R) and inspection method validations as assigned.
Troubleshoot fixturing, part stability, and repeatability issues; escalate when measurement uncertainty is suspected.
Team Support & Continuous Improvement
Mentor Level 1–2 QC technicians in CMM fundamentals, GD&T interpretation, and documentation quality.
Partner with Operations on defect prevention (setup verification, in-process control points, reaction plans).
Participate in continuous improvement (scrap/rework reduction, FPY improvement) aligned to Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost (SQDC).

Demonstrated ability to interpret engineering drawings and GD&T.
Demonstrated proficiency with CMM inspection (running programs, setting up parts, interpreting reports) and precision hand gaging.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to data integrity and procedural compliance.
Experience with FAI (e.g., AS9102) and in-process inspection planning.
Experience with CMM programming and knowledge of probing strategies/fixture design concepts.
Experience with multi-platform metrology: vision systems, structured light, comparator, and manual precision tools
Familiarity with NCR systems and manufacturing execution or ERP systems
Prior experience mentoring or training other inspectors/technicians.
Strong problem-solving skills: demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve inspection or measurement issues.
