What this role actually does

You’re the last line between “looks good” and “meets spec”… and the first signal when something starts going wrong.

Every casting, every dimension, every trend runs through you.
Not just pass/fail… you’re watching tooling wear, drift, and patterns before they turn into scrap or customer issues.

What you’ll be doing

• Calibrate and operate the CMM (master ball = non-negotiable) 
• Perform full layouts using: 
  • Blueprints + GD&T 
  • Customer specs and documentation 
• Validate parts for: 
  • PPAP submissions 
  • Engineering changes 
  • Customer requirements 
• Monitor dimensional trends to identify tooling wear and process drift 
• Flag early warning signs (before production feels it) 
• Document results with precision and clarity 
• Run Brinell hardness tests and weight checks 
• Communicate issues with: 
  • Production 
  • Engineering 
  • Tooling / Maintenance 
• Keep the area clean and equipment in top condition 
• Shut down equipment properly at end of shift

?? What matters most

• Accuracy over speed 
• Catching problems early, not explaining them later 
• Seeing patterns others miss 
• Clear, direct communication when something isn’t right

 If you’re wired to notice the slight shift before it becomes a big problem, this role will feel less like a job and more like running quality control radar. 

What you need to bring

• Blueprint reading skills with GD&T understanding 
• Basic knowledge of PPAP requirements 
• Experience with dimensional inspection and measurement systems 
• Ability to recognize trends, variation, and wear patterns 
• Foundry or casting experience (preferred) 
• Solid math and documentation skills
