Dimensional Quality Assurance Specialist

Overview

A day in the life at Argon Industries. You clock in for 2nd shift (Monday–Thursday, 1:30 PM–12:00 AM) and settle into a pace that rewards precision. There’s a $1/hour shift premium, and the drive is certifying parts that meet exacting customer requirements and Argon Industries’ ISO standards.

Early in the shift: You review the Job Traveler, customer specs, and any deviations for the work queued up. With blueprints and drawings in hand, you set up calipers, height gages, micrometers, squares, pin and thread gages, and the CMM to run a meticulous first piece inspection on welded and fabricated components. You translate GD&T and weld symbols into actionable measurements, confirming that what’s made matches what’s required.

Mid-shift momentum: As production runs, you perform in-process checks, then final inspections, keeping quality aligned from start to finish. You collaborate with engineering and manufacturing to clarify requirements and close feedback loops—updating drawings, Job Travelers, and programs when needed so information stays accurate and current.

Coaching and improvement: You communicate with operators about potential issues, safety considerations, and efficiency opportunities. You observe, evaluate, and suggest new ideas, policies, and procedures that make quality more robust and repeatable.

Material control and traceability: You verify that the right materials are at the right place—type, size, quantity, and quality—maintaining full traceability throughout.
