Quality Inspector 3

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 before they become problems.

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 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
