In this role, you’ll ensure the conformity of precision machined components through inspection, measurement, and data analysis within Carlson’s quality management system.

What You’ll Get:

  • Weekly pay: Starting at $20/hr - $28/hr, depending on experience
  • Relocation Assistance for qualified candidates
  • Full Health Care Coverage including Dental & Vision

  • Family-Owned Environment with Company lunches, Milestone recognitions, Cookouts and Holiday Parties

And did we mention perks like our on-site Carlson Recreational Center? Think weightlifting, cardio, a golf simulator, pickleball court, and more — open to employees and their families.

What You’ll Bring to the Table:

  • 2-3 years of experience OR related a technical diploma – required
  • CMM experience (PC-DMIS) – a plus
  • Strong GD&T and machining knowledge
  • SPC understanding

 

A Day in the Life:

  • Partner with machinists on the floor and production leadership to prevent defects, validate setups, and control processes in real time.
  • Provide proactive machining support via in-process verification, real-time constructive feedback, and data-driven decision-making to achieve first-time quality and reduce variation.
  • Develop and execute CMM programs using PC-DMIS, optimize programs for production efficiency, and support reporting and inspection records.
  • Promote teamwork, open communication, shared accountability, and continuous improvement across machining and quality functions.
  • Keep work areas clean, safe, and organized.
