In-Process Roaming Inspector - 2nd and 3rd Shift Oppertunities

Description:The In-Process Roaming Inspector is responsible for performing inspection activities across multiple CNC machining areas to ensure product quality and process compliance. This role supports production by conducting in-process checks, assisting operators with measurement techniques, and identifying quality issues early to prevent defects and downtime. The position requires mobility, strong technical skills, and the ability to work independently across different machines and product lines.Key Responsibilities:In-Process InspectionPerform routine in-process inspections across multiple machines and work centers.Conduct first-piece and periodic checks to verify conformance to print and process requirements.Inspect a variety of complex machined components and assemblies.Verify critical dimensions such as:Diameters and depthsThreads (Go/No-Go verification)Surface finishesBasic geometric features (runout, flatness, perpendicularity)Floor SupportAct as a roaming quality resource supporting machinists and setup personnel.Assist operators with proper use of inspection tools and measurement techniques.Respond quickly to quality concerns, out-of-tolerance conditions, and production questions.Help troubleshoot minor process or measurement issues on the floor.Process Monitoring:Monitor consistency of parts throughout production runs.Identify early signs of tool wear, drift, or process instability.Escalate issues to senior inspectors, quality engineers, or supervisors when needed.Documentation & ReportingRecord inspection results accurately and in a timely manner.Maintain inspection logs, check sheets, and digital records.Compliance & Quality Standards:Follow all quality procedures, work instructions, and inspection plans.Support adherence to internal quality systems and regulatory requirements.Ensure nonconforming material is properly identified and segregated.Required Skills & QualificationsTechnical SkillsSolid understanding of:Blueprint readingBasic GD&T (position, flatness, perpendicularity, etc.)Proficiency with precision measuring tools:CalipersMicrometersHeight gagesBore gages (basic use)Thread gages (Go/No-Go)Ability to measure parts with tolerances typically in the 0.0005 to 0.002 rangeInspection Ability:Ability to perform consistent and repeatable measurementsStrong attention to detail and accuracyUnderstanding of surface finish requirements and visual inspection standardsProblem SolvingAbility to recognize out-of-spec conditions and take appropriate actionBasic troubleshooting skills related to measurement and inspectionAbility to escalate issues appropriately without delaying productionCommunicationClear communication with machinists, supervisors, and quality teamAbility to explain measurement results and quality concerns effectivelyStrong teamwork and collaboration skillsMobility & AdaptabilityComfortable working across multiple machines, departments, and part typesAbility to prioritize tasks in a fast-paced production environmentWillingness to support different areas based on production needsRequirements:25 years of inspection experience in a CNC machining environmentExperience with high-volume production preferredExperience inspecting precision machined components requiredPreferred QualificationsFamiliarity with air gaging or comparative gaging systemsExposure to SPC or data collection systemsExperience with firearm or defense-related componentsBasic understanding of CMM reports (operation not required)Work EnvironmentHigh-volume CNC machining floorFrequent walking between machines and departmentsExposure to noise, coolant, and moving equipmentRequires standing for extended periodsKey Performance Indicators (KPIs)Accuracy of in-process inspectionsTimely identification of nonconforming productSupport of production flow with minimal disruptionReduction of scrap and rework through early detectionResponsiveness to floor support needsCompensation details: 24-28 Hourly WagePI99b56ab0cbab-26289-40420086
