## Description

We are hiring a **Machine Shop Quality Technician in Rochester, NY.**

This is a precision machine shop that manufactures tight-tolerance components for the aerospace and defense industries — parts that have to be right every time.

-   Partner with engineers and machinists on root cause analysis and continuous improvement
-   Develop and maintain detailed in-process and final inspection reports
-   Support AS9100 / ISO 9001 compliance and participate in internal audits

## Requirements

-   5+ years of quality inspection experience in a machine shop or precision manufacturing environment
-   Solid command of standard measurement tools: calipers, micrometers, CMM, height gauges, etc.
-   Strong blueprint reading skills including GD&T
-   Familiarity with AS9100 / ISO 9001 quality management systems
-   Organized, detail-obsessed, and able to manage multiple inspection queues under deadline pressure
-   High school diploma or equivalent; internal auditing experience is a plus
