Machine Shop Quality Technician

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. As a Quality Technician, you'll be a critical line of defense in a high-mix, low-volume environment where no two days are the same and your eye for detail directly impacts mission-critical products. You'll work closely alongside engineers and machinists and have real ownership over inspection processes.

What you'll do:

Perform first-piece, in-process, and final inspections on machined parts to the highest quality standards

Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T callouts, and job specifications with confidence

Conduct gage calibration and maintain accurate records in Gage Track software

Audit production quality at every phase of manufacture and document findings clearly

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
