Quality Control Inspector

Quality Control Inspector The Quality Control (QC) Inspector is responsible for performing inspection activities to verify conformance of materials, components, and processes to applicable codes, standards, procurement documents, and internal quality requirements. This role serves as a key function in ensuring dimensional accuracy, material traceability, and compliance with applicable regulatory and quality program requirements, including ASME and NQA-1. The QC Inspector operates within defined procedures and documented instructions and supports production, engineering, and quality assurance functions to prevent nonconforming conditions and ensure product integrity. Activities include, but are not limited to: Inspection and verification of mechanical components, fabrication, and assemblies Review of inspection/test documentation and acceptance records Verification of compliance with drawings, specifications, and code requirements Participation in quality system activities including audits, corrective actions, and process improvements General Inspection Duties Perform inspections and tests in accordance with approved procedures, drawings, and acceptance criteria Document inspection and test results clearly and accurately Identify, document, and report nonconforming conditions Witness and verify work activities when required by governing documents Maintain complete and traceable quality records Support process reporting and continuous improvement initiatives Incoming Material Inspection & Traceability Review Certified Material Test Reports (CMTRs/MTRs) for compliance with procurement and code requirements Verify heat/lot traceability to drawings and purchase orders Perform receiving inspections and document acceptance status Segregate and control nonconforming materials Develop and maintain inspection plans and travelers Dimensional and Visual Inspection Perform in-process and final inspections using precision measurement tools (e.g., micrometers, calipers, height gauges, gauges, CMM systems) Verify conformance to dimensional tolerances and GD&T requirements Generate inspection reports, including First Article Inspection (FAI) documentation Conduct visual inspections for workmanship, fit-up, and weld conformance Welding and Fabrication Quality Support Verify welding documentation including WPS, PQR, and welder qualifications Confirm traceability of welds and associated materials Support or witness qualification activities as required Verify compliance with applicable welding codes and standards Audits, Nonconformance, and Corrective Action Participate in internal and supplier audits Support or lead Nonconformance Reports (NCR) and Corrective/Preventive Actions (CAPA) Perform root cause analysis and verification of corrective actions Support Material Review Board (MRB) activities Metrology and Calibration Verify calibration status of inspection and test equipment prior to use Maintain control of gauges, fixtures, and measurement systems Coordinate calibration activities with external providers Support measurement system analysis (e.g., gage R&R) Documentation and Records Maintain accurate, legible, and complete inspection/test records Ensure records meet quality program requirements for traceability and retention Support documentation required for certification and qualification records QualificationsEducation and Experience High school diploma or equivalent (minimum baseline requirement) Relevant inspection or testing experience in applicable disciplines Typical experience levels: Level I: Entry-level with basic training and supervised experience Level II: Demonstrated capability in inspection planning, execution, and evaluation Level III (if applicable): Advanced capability including evaluation of procedures and personnel Technical Competencies Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and procedures Working knowledge of dimensional metrology and inspection techniques Understanding of material traceability and documentation requirements Familiarity with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASME, NQA-1) Ability to evaluate inspection results and determine acceptability Certification and Qualification Personnel shall be trained, qualified, and certified in accordance with applicable quality procedures Certification is based on education, experience, training, and demonstrated capability Certification validity period and recertification requirements shall comply with program procedures
