Job Description
MAC Products is a third-generation, family-owned manufacturer based in Kearny, NJ with 60 years in business. We serve the rail transit electrification and electrical utility industries — a specialized niche where attention to detail and craftsmanship genuinely matter. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a hands-on, experienced Quality Inspector to join our small quality team and take ownership of mechanical inspection activities.
This is a full-time, on-site position (Monday–Friday, Kearny NJ). Please apply only if you are currently local and able to commute daily.
What You'll Do
• Perform dimensional and mechanical inspections of machined, fabricated, and assembled components using standard shop measurement tools.
• Conduct visual weld inspections to workmanship standards — evaluating MIG and TIG welds on fabricated structures and assemblies.
• Inspect brazed joints and assembled hardware per engineering drawings and applicable standards.
• Identify and document nonconforming material; support disposition decisions with production and engineering.
• Record inspection results accurately in electronic systems and paper traveler documents.
• Collaborate closely with manufacturing to catch defects early and provide clear, actionable feedback to operators.
• Perform some electro-mechanical inspection activities as needed (cross-training with electrical inspector).
What We're Looking For
Required:
• Minimum 3–5 years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing inspection or quality control role.
• Proven ability to read and interpret mechanical engineering drawings — GD&T, tolerances, weld symbols.
• Experience with standard measurement tools: calipers, micrometers, gauges, weld fillet gauges.
• Familiarity with MIG and TIG welding processes and the ability to perform visual weld inspections.
• Strong hands-on mechanical aptitude and attention to detail.
• Comfortable working on the shop floor in a manufacturing environment.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Preferred / Big Plus:
• AWS Certified Weld Inspector (CWI) certification — not required, but highly valued.
• Background in structural fabrication, heavy manufacturing, or job shop environments.
• Exposure to ISO 9001 or another formal Quality Management System.
• Experience with non-conformance documentation and basic root cause analysis.
Why MAC Products?
• Small quality team — your work is visible and your contributions matter directly.
• Niche industry: rail transit and electrical utility hardware — interesting, specialized work.
• Stable, established company (60 years) with a growth-oriented leadership team.
• Collaborative, no-bureaucracy environment where good ideas get implemented.
