## Description

We are hiring a **Quality Engineer** to support a high-precision CNC manufacturing operation serving aerospace, defense, medical, semiconductor, and other highly regulated industries.

This is a hands-on, cross-functional role that sits between **CNC Programming, Manufacturing, and Quality**. The Quality Engineer will review machining processes, drawings, models, and CNC programs to understand what each operation is producing and translate that information into clear, operation-specific inspection plans.

The ideal candidate understands **CNC machining, GD&T, engineering drawings, and dimensional inspection** and can help ensure manufacturing and Quality are aligned before parts reach the floor.

**Responsibilities:**

-   Review CNC programs, drawings, CAD models, setup documentation, and manufacturing processes.
-   Understand the intent and sequence of CNC machining operations and identify the features being created or modified.
-   Develop clear, operation-level **inspection plans using 1Factory**.
-   Define inspection characteristics, measurement methods, sampling requirements, and applicable GD&T requirements.
-   Ensure inspection requirements are tied directly to the machining operation responsible for producing the feature.
-   Work closely with CNC programmers, machinists, manufacturing engineers, and Quality inspectors to resolve process and inspection questions.
-   Identify gaps or ambiguity in manufacturing documentation before they create issues on the shop floor.
-   Support root-cause investigations, corrective actions, and continuous improvement efforts.
-   Help improve first-pass quality, reduce rework, and make inspection more efficient.
-   Maintain strong documentation, traceability, and configuration control within a regulated manufacturing environment.

## Requirements

-   3+ years of experience in **Quality Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, CNC machining, inspection, or a related precision manufacturing role**.
-   Strong understanding of CNC machining processes and how individual operations create specific part features.
-   Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and 3D CAD models.
-   Strong knowledge of **GD&T and dimensional inspection**.
-   Aerospace, defense, medical device, semiconductor, or other high-precision manufacturing.
-   **1Factory** or similar digital inspection/quality software.
