Job Title: Inspector

Location: Costa Mesa, CA

Pay Range: $25-$28

Shift: 6:00 AM - 2:30 PM

What's the Job?

• Perform manual dimensional inspections of tight-tolerance machine components, assemblies, and finished products from external suppliers and in-house manufacturing, measuring features and identifying visual defects as small as 10 microns (0.010 mm) to ensure conformance with design specifications, engineering drawings, and quality standards.
• Conduct receiving, first article, in-process, and final inspections using precision measurement tools including micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, pin and thread gauges, dial indicators, and optical comparators.
• Evaluate parts under proper lighting and magnification for cosmetic and surface defects (e.g., scratches, dents, burrs, porosity, and plating/coating flaws) and disposition them per established visual standards and boundary samples.
• Measure surface finish on machined surfaces using profilometers, surface roughness testers, and surface finish comparator standards per engineering drawings and customer specifications (e.g., Ra, Rz), identify out-of-tolerance conditions, and report results for quality review and disposition.
• Enter inspection data into the QMS software with 100% accuracy, verifying all entries before submission so reliable data is available for statistical analysis and quality reporting.
