About the Role

We're seeking an entry-level Quality Assurance team member to support quality activities across our precision manufacturing operations. This is a great opportunity for someone in their early career to build a strong foundation in inspection, documentation, and process control within a precision manufacturing environment. We're looking for someone who likes solving problems, improving products and designs. Ideal candidates are energetic and eager to jump into a wide variety of projects, bringing enthusiasm to solving new problems as they come up.

• Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspection of components and assemblies using standard measurement tools.
• Support internal audits and help maintain compliance with quality system requirements.
• Track and report quality metrics (yield, scrap, defect trends) to help identify improvement opportunities.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and engineering teams to resolve quality issues.
• Help maintain calibration records for inspection and measurement equipment.
• Support customer complaint investigations and process RMAs (Return Merchandise Authorizations) as needed.

What We're Looking For

• Entry-level experience with quality, inspection, or a related hands-on manufacturing environment.
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with precise measurements and documentation.
• Basic familiarity with measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges) or eagerness to learn.
• Ability to read engineering drawings and basic Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T), or willingness to learn.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable working in a hands-on manufacturing environment.
• Some familiarity with ISO 9001 or a similar quality management system.

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Engineering or Physics degree and/or strong hands-on technical experience working with optics and/or small parts.
• Coursework or experience in statistics, Statistical Process Control (SPC), or quality tools.
• Experience or interest in optics, photonics, or precision manufacturing.
