This role requires a minimum of 3 years of experience inspecting, measuring, and monitoring incoming, in-process, and finished product. IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, and IPC-600 certifications are a plus, but we are also open to training and certifying the right candidate.
If you have strong attention to detail, enjoy hands-on work with electronic assemblies, and take pride in helping a team produce high-quality products, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
As a Quality Inspector III, you will help ensure products meet workmanship standards, customer requirements, and internal quality procedures. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Inspecting assemblies for conformance to IPC-A-610, J-STD-001 through 006, IPC-600, and company workmanship standards (note: assembly certification does not guarantee inspection certification)
  • Verifying that materials, components, and finished products meet required specifications
  • Conducting visual inspections and measurement tests using appropriate inspection tools
  • Documenting inspection results by completing required reports, logs, and quality records
  • Identifying and communicating quality concerns in a timely manner
  • Approving finished materials or products when they meet requirements
  • Returning products for rework when needed and confirming rework has been completed properly
  • Supporting the control of non-conforming materials and assemblies
  • Communicating with Production Supervisors, leads, and Engineering when quality issues arise
  • Following ESD requirements, board handling procedures, and moisture-sensitive device handling requirements
  • Supporting ISO Quality Management System standards related to quality, safety, environment, health, and security
  • Maintaining a safe, clean, and compliant work environment
  • Performing other duties as assigned
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is reliable, detail-focused, and comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You should be someone who can follow procedures, communicate clearly, and take action when quality standards are not being met.
  • High School Diploma preferred
  • Minimum 3 years of experience inspecting, measuring, and monitoring incoming, in-process, and finished product
  • Experience with measuring devices such as calipers, pin gauges, feeler gauges, height gauges and other measuring instruments
  • Experience with automated measuring equipment is a plus: CyberScan, CMM, etc.
  • Certification to IPC-600-Series & J-STD-Series is a plus
  • Experience with GD&T is a plus
  • First Article Inspection Report generation IAW AS9102 is a plus

Job Knowledge/Skills

  • Ability to apply JEDEC JESD9C standard requirements
  • Ability to apply MIL-STD-883 Method 2032 standard requirements
  • Ability to apply J-STD-001 through 006 standard requirements (note: assembly certification does not guarantee inspection certification)
  • Ability to utilize Stereo Microscope for inspection of product
  • Written and verbal communication skills
  • Basic computer skills: MS Word, MS Excel and MS Planner
  • Knowledge of interpretation of designated specifications
  • High attention to detail
  • Sense of urgency, successful at meeting deadlines
  • Ability to work effectively as part of a team and as an individual
  • Monitor processes, materials, or surroundings
  • Ability to work on multiple tasks using a wide range of procedures with a minimum low-level complexity
  • Ability to follow established procedures on routine work

Due to ITAR and / or CUI compliance, this position requires candidates to be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident.
Benefits Offered: Comprehensive benefit package including medical, dental and vision coverage; company-paid basic life/AD&D insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance; voluntary supplemental insurances, flexible spending accounts and employee assistance program (EAP). Sick Leave, Vacation Time, and company-paid Holidays are also provided as paid time off. NEOTech also provides a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan option with a company match.
