JOIN MILWAUKEE ELECTRONICS – OVER 70 YEARS OF INNOVATION & EXCELLENCE

Milwaukee Electronics is a contract electronics manufacturer bringing innovations to life from prototype to production. Our mission is to Accelerate — expanding what's possible for our customers, our people, and our communities. We operate as One Team, Take Ownership, Seek to Serve, and Go Beyond.

About the Role

Quality Inspector III is not an entry-level title — it's a recognition of real expertise. In this role, you'll inspect PCB assemblies and box-build electronic products against IPC-A-610 and customer standards, using AOI, microscopes, and magnification equipment to catch what others might miss. You'll also be a resource for the team around you — mentoring junior inspectors, collaborating with Engineering and Production, and providing the kind of real-time feedback that prevents defects after they become problems.

If you have a strong electronics inspection background and take pride in doing precise, impactful work, this is a role where that expertise will be visible every day.

What You'll Do

• Inspect PCB assemblies, subassemblies, and box-build products for compliance with IPC-A-610 and customer requirements
• Perform SMT, through-hole, modification, final, and rework inspections as required
• Read and interpret drawings, specifications, and job travelers to verify product conformance
• Utilize inspection tools including AOI, magnification lamps, microscopes, and other visual inspection equipment
• Accurately document inspection results using daily inspection sheets or FactoryLogix
• Communicate inspection findings and quality concerns to Engineering, Quality, Production, and leadership
• Provide real-time feedback to production personnel to support corrective action and defect prevention
• Train and mentor Quality Inspector I & II team members on inspection techniques, standards, and procedures
• Participate in internal quality audits, Lean initiatives, and daily pass-down meetings
• Follow all quality policies, safety procedures, and maintain a clean, organized work area

What You Bring

• High school diploma or GED required
• Associate degree in Electronics or related field, OR a minimum of 3 years of quality inspection experience in electronics manufacturing
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to evaluate product quality against written documentation
• Basic computer skills including data entry; experience with FactoryLogix a plus
• Basic math skills and ability to interpret charts, graphs, and performance data
• Effective communication and collaboration skills across cross-functional teams
• Reliable, punctual, and adaptable in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Ability to read, write, and communicate effectively in English
• Must be eligible to work in an ITAR-controlled facility (U.S. Person status required)

Certifications

• IPC-A-610 certification required (must be obtained within one year of hire; in-house training provided)
• Milwaukee Electronics Component Identification course (must be completed within one year of hire; in-house training provided)
