About the Role

Every part that leaves Argon Industries should reflect our standards and our customers’ expectations. As a Weld Quality Assurance Inspector, you will be the final word on whether incoming and outgoing materials meet or exceed customer requirements and align with Argon’s ISO-driven quality system.

A Day in the Life

You start your shift by verifying incoming materials: checking type, size, quantity, and quality while maintaining full traceability. You move to the floor for first-piece and in-process checks on welding and select fabrication jobs, then close the loop with thorough final inspection. Throughout the day, you partner with engineering and manufacturing to clarify drawings and job travelers, update programs when needed, and coach team members on quality expectations and safe, efficient methods.

What You’ll Do

• Use precision inspection tools to validate product conformance to customer specs and ISO procedures: calipers, height gages, micrometers, squares, CMM, pin/thread gages, and more.
• Conduct first-article, in-process, and final inspections for welding and some fabrication work.
• Read and interpret Job Travelers, customer requirements, blueprints, engineering drawings, and deviations to ensure Argon’s compliance.
• Communicate proactively—assist and train personnel, flag potential quality or safety issues, and recommend process improvements.
• Collaborate with engineering/manufacturing to keep drawings, job travelers, and programs clear, accurate, and current.
• Recommend new ideas, policies, and procedures to elevate quality and efficiency.
• Verify incoming materials against specifications; maintain material identification and traceability.

Broader Quality Impact

• Teach and monitor adherence to Argon’s Quality Policy & Requirements and ISO procedures.
• Assist with ISO internal audits.
• Train others and operate inspection systems, including the Keyence CMM and Inspecvision.
• Interface with customers, suppliers, and coworkers; create, review, enforce, and follow up on CARs, SCARs, and Customer Complaints, ensuring timely, complete documentation.
• Organize and maintain Quality Assurance records and files.
• Apply ASTM and AISI standards (including flatness and squareness) to judge compliance.
• Revise and keep current Work Instructions related to quality.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• Strong practical knowledge of welding and the ability to recognize acceptable weld quality.
• Knowledge of AWS D1.1 and/or certification (or the ability to obtain/pass).
• Skilled with, or able to learn, inspection equipment: micrometers, calipers, height gages, CMMs, etc.
• Blueprint literacy, including geometric tolerances and weld symbols.
• Ability to perform manual layout inspection.
• Working knowledge of quality systems and familiarity with ISO is helpful.
