What you'll do
- As a Quality Technician, you will serve as the primary quality resource supporting manufacturing operations during off-shift hours. This position combines hands-on inspection work, CMM programming, process auditing, and problem-solving to ensure products meet customer specifications and Kondex's quality standards. Working closely with machine operators, team leads, and production personnel, you will provide technical guidance, investigate quality concerns, perform precision measurements, and help drive continuous improvement initiatives across the facility. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on the manufacturing floor, working directly with production teams, and making real-time decisions that impact quality, productivity, and customer satisfaction. The Quality Technician will have significant autonomy and play a key role in supporting second and third shift operations. Including the following, but not limited to:
- Perform inspections of varying complexity using calipers, micrometers, gauges, CMM equipment, optical comparators, and other precision measuring tools to verify product conformance.
- Develop, maintain, and run CMM inspection programs, with a strong preference for experience using Zeiss CMMs and Calypso software.
- Conduct process audits and spot checks throughout the manufacturing floor to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure adherence to quality standards.
- Work directly with machine operators, team leads, and supervisors to communicate quality concerns, provide technical guidance, and resolve issues quickly.
- Develop and maintain SPC methods and statistical controls to monitor manufacturing processes and ensure products remain within established tolerances.
- Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprint specifications, and GD&T callouts to accurately inspect and evaluate components.
- Investigate quality issues, identify root causes, initiate corrective actions, and partner with cross-functional teams to implement permanent solutions.
- Maintain inspection records, quality data, capability studies, Initial Sample Inspection Reports (ISIRs), Gage R&R studies, and other required documentation.
- Support and monitor the gage calibration program, ensuring measuring equipment remains accurate and properly maintained.
- Evaluate and authorize dispositions for non-conforming materials while supporting containment and corrective action efforts.
- Identify opportunities to improve quality, inspection processes, and manufacturing efficiency while supporting lean manufacturing initiatives.
- Partner with operations, engineering, and leadership teams to maintain a culture focused on quality, safety, accountability, and continuous improvement.
