QUALITY TECHNICIAN

Quality Technician | $22–$24/hr

MVS Metals (Owen Industries) – Sioux City, IA | 1st Shift | Monday–Thursday, 4x10 | Full-Time

Every Friday Off. Doing Work That Actually Matters.

MVS Metals is looking for a Quality Technician who knows their way around a CMM, understands GD&T, and takes pride in getting dimensions right the first time. You’ll be working with advanced inspection technology — Virtek laser QC systems, PC-DMIS-driven portable CMMs, and UniPoint — on parts that go into real industrial applications for real customers.

The schedule is Monday through Thursday, 10-hour days, which means you have every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to yourself. If you want a quality role with serious technical depth and a schedule that actually gives you a life outside work — this is it.

What You’ll Do

• Program and operate portable CMM (PCMM) equipment using PC-DMIS software to conduct dimensional layouts and first-article inspections
• Perform quality control inspections using Virtek laser projection/tracking systems to verify part conformance to design intent
• Interpret 3D models and drawings in CAD/SolidWorks to build inspection programs, apply GD&T callouts, and identify critical characteristics
• Create and maintain inspection specifications and control plans within UniPoint
• Support the PPAP process — execute required measurements, generate dimensional and capability data, and prepare documentation for customer submission
• Document inspection results, nonconformances, and corrective actions in the quality management system
• Maintain calibration schedules and verify accuracy of inspection equipment
• Collaborate with production and quality personnel to resolve dimensional discrepancies and drive continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing quality control or inspection role
• PC-DMIS and portable CMM experience preferred
• Proficiency reading and interpreting CAD models, technical drawings, and GD&T callouts; SolidWorks experience preferred
• Working knowledge of GD&T fundamentals
• Strong attention to detail and solid problem-solving skills
• Ability to write clear, accurate inspection reports and quality documentation
• Exposure to PPAP, APQP, or automotive/industrial quality tools a plus
• Associate's degree or technical certificate in manufacturing, quality, or engineering a plus; high school diploma or GED required

✅ $22–$24/hr based on experience

✅ Monday–Thursday schedule — every Friday off, 4x10-hour days

✅ Health, Dental & Vision insurance

✅ Life/AD&D and Short & Long-Term Disability coverage

✅ 401(k) after 6 months
