Quality Inspector -2nd Shift (CNC Machining & Plating)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
Thus we will omit the EEO paragraph, ITAR paragraph, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes the schedule details, benefits list, responsibilities, qualifications, physical requirements, work environment.
Let's extract and deduplicate.
Intro paragraph: as above.
Why Join PacAero? list: we have bullet points:
- Monthly bonus opportunities
- 12 paid company holidays — including your birthday!
- Medical, dental, vision, disability coverage & more
- 401(k) with up to 4% company match
- Employer HSA contribution
- Separate PTO and sick time
- Second-shift differential
- Employee events, celebrations and recognition throughout the year
- Stable, growing aerospace manufacturing environment with opportunities to develop your skills and career
- At PacAero, we work hard, have fun, and get stuff done. We believe culture matters — from recognizing great work and celebrating wins to creating a place where people enjoy coming to work and feel like part of the team.
We could keep the last sentence as prose after list.
What You’ll Do (Responsibilities) list:
- Perform dimensional and visual inspections of precision machined components using engineering drawings, specifications and applicable quality requirements.
- Use a variety of precision measurement and inspection equipment to verify parts meet dimensional, geometric and workmanship requirements.
- Work closely with Machining, Quality and Engineering to identify and communicate issues, support root-cause investigation and keep quality parts moving through production.
Also later in Requirements section there is a more detailed list:
- Perform in-process and final visual, dimensional, and microscopic inspections of precision machined and plated components
- Inspect parts to engineering drawings, specifications, work instructions, manufacturing documentation, and applicable customer requirements
- Use precision measuring and inspection equipment including micrometers, calipers, gage pins, optical comparators, Visual CMMs, inspection microscopes, and other applicable tools
- Interpret engineering drawings, dimensions, tolerances, and GD&T requirements
- Verify parts meet customer, engineering, dimensional, workmanship, and quality requirements
- Identify and document nonconforming material and complete required quality documentation, including rework and nonconformance reports
- Review Certificates of Conformance (CoCs) and manufacturing documentation for accuracy and completeness
- Accurately document inspection results and maintain required quality and inspection records
- Verify inspection equipment is appropriate for use and within required calibration status
- Work collaboratively with Machining, Plating, Quality, Engineering, and Production to investigate discrepancies and resolve quality concerns
- Support continuous improvement efforts focused on quality, efficiency, and customer requirements
- Maintain a clean, organized, safe, and audit-ready inspection area
- Follow established quality procedures, work instructions, and safety requirements
- Perform other related duties as assigned by the Quality Manager
We could combine these into a single responsibilities list (maybe under Responsibilities). The earlier short list is subset; we can just use the detailed list.
What We’re Looking For (maybe Qualifications) list:
- Previous experience inspecting precision machined components in a manufacturing environment is required.
- You should be comfortable reading engineering drawings, interpreting dimensions and tolerances, and using precision measurement equipment such as micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators and other inspection tools.
- Experience with GD&T and CMM inspection is highly valued.
- Aerospace, defense or other high-precision manufacturing experience is a plus.
- If you have a strong eye for detail, understand what quality looks like and aren’t afraid to speak up when something doesn’t look right, we want to hear from you.
Later Qualifications section list:
- High school diploma or equivalent required; technical or vocational training is a plus
- 1–5 years of quality inspection experience in a manufacturing environment preferred
- Experience inspecting precision CNC machined components strongly preferred
- Experience inspecting electroplated components or working in a plating environment is highly valued
- Experience using precision measuring equipment, including micrometers, calipers, gage pins, optical comparators, Visual CMMs, and inspection microscopes
- Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and manufacturing documentation
- Knowledge of GD&T preferred
- Experience in aerospace, defense, medical device, or another high-precision manufacturing environment preferred
- Strong computer skills for inspection documentation and quality records
- Strong attention to detail, communication, and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams
- Commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement
We can combine these into Qualifications list.
Physical Requirements list:
- Ability to sit or stand for extended periods.
- Excellent visual acuity, including prolonged microscope use.
- Strong hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity.
- Ability to perform repetitive precision inspection tasks.
- Frequently handle small, intricate components.
- Occasionally lift up to 40 pounds.
- Ability to work safely in a manufacturing environment while using precision inspection equipment.
Work Environment & Physical Requirements (some duplication) but we can keep as a paragraph describing environment: "This position works in an active manufacturing and quality inspection environment and requires regular interaction with precision machined and plated components, inspection equipment, and production areas. Employees must be able to perform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation. The role may require standing and sitting for extended periods; sustained visual focus while performing detailed and microscopic inspections; regular use of precision measuring and inspection equipment; handling, positioning, and inspecting small or detailed components; occasional bending, reaching, and movement throughout production areas; and occasionally lifting and moving materials or components weighing up to 40 pounds."
We could merge Physical Requirements and Work Environment into one section maybe "Work Environment & Physical Requirements". But we already have Physical Requirements list; we could keep both but avoid duplication. The Work Environment paragraph includes similar points; we could keep the paragraph as prose and maybe not repeat list. But we need to preserve all substantive info; the list includes specifics like ability to sit/stand, visual acuity, hand-eye coordination, repetitive tasks, handling small components, occasional lift up to 40 lbs, ability to work safely. The paragraph includes standing/sitting extended periods, sustained visual focus, regular use of equipment, handling small components, occasional bending/reaching/movement, occasional lifting up to 40 lbs. So we can combine into a single section "Work Environment & Physical Requirements" with a paragraph that covers all points. Or we could keep list and paragraph; but to avoid thin sections, we can make one section with both list and paragraph? The rule: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we can have a section with heading, then a
prose, then a
list. That's fine.
Schedule: we have schedule details: Full-time | Second Shift | Onsite in Agawam, MA | Monday–Thursday (4, 10-hour days). This position is eligible for a second-shift differential. As part of a manufacturing environment supporting customer demand, overtime may occasionally be required, including extended shifts or additional days when business needs arise.
We can put that in a under Schedule heading.
Benefits: we have list from Why Join PacAero plus maybe the Benefits paragraph later: "PacAero offers a comprehensive benefits package to eligible full-time employees, including medical, dental and vision coverage; 401(k) with company match; company-paid life and disability coverage; HSA/FSA options with
