Full Job Description

Position Summary

We’re seeking an experienced Quality Assurance / Quality Control Inspector to safeguard the quality of our parts at every stage — from incoming material and in-process fabrication through final inspection and shipment. You’ll be the single point of accountability for quality in our shop, verifying that every part meets blueprint specifications, dimensional tolerances, and welding standards before it goes out the door.

About Direct Dimension LLC

Direct Dimension LLC is a welding and fabrication shop producing engineered parts for the transportation industry. We’re a tight-knit team of about 20 people who take pride in precision work and parts our customers can count on. This is a hands-on role with real ownership — you’ll be our dedicated quality authority on the floor.

What You’ll Do

Inspect parts throughout the manufacturing process — incoming, in-process, and final — to ensure they conform to specifications
Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and CAD files to verify dimensions, tolerances, and requirements
Apply GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) to confirm parts meet design intent
Perform dimensional inspections using precision hand tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, weld gauges)
Conduct visual weld inspection and coordinate/support nondestructive testing (NDT) as needed
Verify welds and fabricated assemblies against AWS welding standards
Identify non-conforming parts, document findings, and drive them to resolution
Maintain accurate, organized inspection records and quality logs — both digital and physical
Use computer software (CAD viewers, inspection/documentation tools, spreadsheets) to record, track, and report quality data
Partner with the production team to catch issues early and continuously improve quality

What You Bring

5–7 years of experience in a quality assurance / quality control role, ideally in welding, fabrication, machining, or a similar manufacturing environment
Ability to read and interpret blueprints and engineering drawings — this is essential to the role
Experience working with CAD drawings and software (AutoCAD or SolidWorks)
Working knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)
Comfort with precision measuring tools and inspection techniques
Strong computer skills — able to document and log inspections accurately and use the appropriate software for the role
Detail-oriented, organized, and dependable, with the judgment to stop and flag a part that isn’t right
An engineering or technical background, or equivalent hands-on manufacturing experience
Must be authorized to work in the United States

Preferred (a Plus, Not Required)

CWI — Certified Welding Inspector (AWS)
Six Sigma certification (Green or Black Belt)
Familiarity with NDT methods (dye penetrant, magnetic particle, ultrasonic)
Experience helping build or formalize quality processes and documentation

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

Steel-toe boots and safety glasses (PPE) required on the shop floor
Able to stand and walk for extended periods
Able to lift up to 50 lbs
Work is performed in an active welding and fabrication shop environment

Schedule

Full-time, Monday–Friday, day shift
On-site at our Lake in the Hills, IL facility

Compensation & Benefits

$65,000–$80,000 per year, based on experience
Overtime pay and performance / safety bonus opportunities
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off and paid holidays
