CMM Programmer/Dimensional Inspector (QA/QC Inspector 3/4)
Overview
The Prototype Fabrication Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory provides technical experience and proficiency in machining, fabrication and precision dimensional inspection of critical hardware needed to support the nation's nuclear stockpile stewardship efforts. The selected candidate(s) will be joining a dedicated staff of engineers, programmers, journeymen machinists, and quality control professionals to ensure manufactured components meet drawing standards and requirements. The successful applicant(s) will join the Prototype Fabrication-Applied Metrology Group's Dimensional Inspection Team. This capability spans across four environmentally controlled laboratories, supporting dimensional inspections of conventional material, depleted uranium, and beryllium fabricated components. The dimensional inspection team supports both prototype and high rigor, formalized production agency inspection processes. Responsibilities include, demonstrated use and understanding of Material and Test Equipment (M&TE) typically located in a high accuracy/high precession dimensional inspection laboratory.
What You Will Do QA/QC Inspector 3 Salary:
$64,700 - $101,400
Strong application of shop mathematics, unit conversions, and trigonometry.
Intermediate knowledge required to read a drawing having Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and interpretation for dimensional inspection implementation.
