🧭 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 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

⚙️ 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

🏭 The environment

Real-world manufacturing:

Heat, noise, moving equipment
Standing more than half the shift
Hands-on, detail-driven work

PPE is part of the job: steel toes, safety glasses, ear protection.

🤝 How you’ll interact

You’re connected across the operation:

Daily with supervisors
Regularly with engineering, production, and tooling
Occasionally with customers

When tooling starts to drift, you’re one of the first to know—and one of the first expected to say something.

💥 The line that matters

StatusQuoSucks® — because parts don’t go out of spec overnight… they drift there. We catch it before that happens.

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.
