About the role

Position Summary: The Quality Gage Technician is responsible for the day-to-day operation of Acme's gage room and for ensuring that production has the calibrated, functioning measurement tools it needs — when it needs them. This role is the backbone of Acme's measurement system: if a gage is out of calibration, late to the floor, or not functioning properly, production and quality both suffer. The right person is detail-oriented, methodical, and takes genuine pride in the accuracy and reliability of the tools they manage. This role works directly with Quality, Engineering, and production teams across both shifts and is a critical part of Acme's ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D quality management system.

Essential Responsibilities:

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
