Role
Who you are
- High school diploma or equivalent, with 5+ years of experience in quality inspection or quality assurance within a manufacturing environment
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical and electrical engineering drawings
- Proficiency with standard hand measurement tools: calipers, micrometers, gauges, and related equipment
- Experience inspecting both mechanical and electromechanical components and assemblies
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to document findings clearly and completely
- Comfortable working in a production floor environment
What the job involves
- The Quality Technician is a hands-on inspection role focused on the parts and components that go into our machines — both during manufacturing and as spare and break-fix parts shipped to machines in the field
- You'll be the last line of defense ensuring that nonconforming parts don't make it into a build or out to a customer site, and that known quality issues are actively screened before anything ships
- Incoming Parts Inspection:
- Perform detailed incoming inspection of mechanical and electromechanical parts against engineering drawings, specifications, and purchase order requirements
- Verify dimensions, material, finish, and workmanship using standard hand measurement tools including calipers, micrometers, and gauges
- Identify and document nonconformances; initiate NCRs and work with procurement and suppliers to disposition discrepant material
- Maintain accurate receiving inspection records and support supplier quality tracking
- Spare & Field Replacement Parts:
- Inspect spare parts and break-fix components prior to shipment to field machines, ensuring they meet drawing requirements and are free of known defect conditions
- Cross-reference historical quality issues and active quality alerts to screen outgoing field parts for previously identified failure modes
- Package and label inspected parts in accordance with internal standards; maintain traceability documentation
- Quality Systems & Continuous Improvement:
- Maintain inspection records, nonconformance logs, and calibration documentation in support of the QMS
- Flag recurring defect trends and contribute to root cause and corrective action (RCCA) efforts
- Support the development and upkeep of quality alerts and lessons-learned documentation to prevent repeat escapes to the field
Application process
- This position requires a background check as part of the hiring process
Our take
Velo3D is a metal additive manufacturing solution that is looking to overcome common difficulties in 3D printing, by helping customers print and manufacture parts without compromising quality.
The metal additive manufacturing industry is one that is relatively slow-moving, but Velo3D is breathing new life into the space. It has already experienced significant growth and high machine unit sales, standing out from competitors by offering an end-to-end process for customers in the aviation, power generation and energy industries.
With demand for its services increasing, Velo3D is looking to expand within Europe, targeting markets such as the UK, Germany, France and Italy. Its acquisition by Arrayed Additive in 2025 supports its expansion into new sectors, and a $11.5 million defense contract secured in 2026 makes sure its set up for success.
