Job Description
An Insight Global client is seeking an Incoming Prototype Part Inspector to provide additional inspection capacity due to an ongoing backlog of prototype parts. This role mirrors the work of the current QA/QC inspector and is critical to preventing inspection bottlenecks that could delay downstream testing timelines. The work focuses exclusively on prototype / non‑production parts, many of which are critical‑path for testing and development. They will be inspecting prototype parts using calipers, bore gauges, dial indicators, and other precision measurement equipment. They will read and interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, surface finish requirements, and GD&T. The contractor will operate with a high level of independence while collaborating closely with the existing inspector for technical guidance. They will document inspection results and non-conformances using SAP (preferred) and internal tracking tools.
