Compensation: $25-30 / hr
Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday, day shift
Location: On-site in Post Falls, Idaho, with a planned move to Spokane Valley, Washington, at the end of 2026
MGM Innovative Tech Group is a growing tube laser cutting company in Post Falls, Idaho. We combine manufacturing with custom quoting and order management software to make buying custom metal parts straightforward.
We’re looking for someone who understands manufacturing drawings, uses measuring tools confidently, and takes responsibility for accurate inspections and documentation.
In this role, you’ll inspect manufactured parts, document results, and work with our production team to resolve problems before orders ship. You’ll help ensure that parts meet customer requirements and that inspection records clearly show what was checked and whether it passed.
You’ll work directly with the owner and operations team, with the authority to hold questionable parts for review and the opportunity to improve our inspection processes as the business grows.
Role and responsibilities
- Inspect manufactured parts. Perform receiving, first-part, in-process, and final inspections as required. Verify parts against the drawings, specifications, inspection instructions, and customer requirements.
- Measure parts and document results. Use appropriate measuring tools to check dimensions, tolerances, and other specified features. Complete dimensional inspection reports, first-article reports, and supporting photos when required. Select measurement methods suitable for the feature and tolerance being checked.
- Maintain accurate identification and inspection status. Clearly identify parts and track accepted, rejected, and awaiting-review quantities. Maintain required material certifications and traceability records. Ensure packaging receives correctly identified parts with clear accepted quantities and inspection status.
- Identify and control nonconforming parts. Mark and separate questionable parts, document the issue, and notify the appropriate team member. Follow our procedures for review, rework, and approval, and verify that required actions are complete before releasing affected parts.
- Support customer inspection requirements. Prepare parts and documentation for customer or third-party inspections, including virtual inspections when required. Explain inspection results clearly and help resolve questions about measurements or records.
- Maintain inspection equipment and records. Keep measuring tools organized and in good condition. Check calibration or verification status before use, flag unsuitable or damaged equipment, and help coordinate calibration needs.
- Improve how we work. Identify recurring defects, unclear instructions, gaps in documentation, and software issues. Work with the team to improve inspection methods, checklists, and production practices that prevent repeat problems.
Required skills and experience
- Manufacturing inspection experience: Previous hands-on experience inspecting manufactured parts in a machine shop, fabrication shop, or similar manufacturing environment.
- Drawing interpretation: The ability to read mechanical drawings and understand dimensions, tolerances, GD&T, drawing notes, revisions, and basic material requirements.
- Measurement skills: Confidence using precision measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, and gauges. You should understand how to select a suitable tool, obtain repeatable measurements, and recognize when a measurement requires a different method or additional equipment.
- Computer skills and documentation: The ability to enter inspection results accurately, work with spreadsheets and digital documents, take useful inspection photos, and learn our software.
- Attention to detail and judgment: The ability to follow inspection requirements consistently, maintain accurate quantities and records, and raise questions when a requirement or result is unclear.
- Communication and follow-through: The ability to explain a quality issue clearly, work respectfully with production, and follow problems through to resolution without repeated reminders.
Former quality inspectors, machinists, and manufacturing technicians with strong inspection experience may be a good fit. Experience with metal fabrication, first-article inspection reports, material certifications, or geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) would be especially helpful.
Accuracy and sound judgment are central to this role. We value someone who records what they actually measured, recognizes the limits of their tools, and raises concerns early. You should be comfortable holding a part for review when its conformity has not been established, including when an order is approaching its shipping deadline.
What success looks like
Required inspections are completed accurately and on time. Parts move to packaging with clear identification, verified accepted quantities, and complete inspection records.
Quality issues are identified early, clearly documented, and followed through to an approved resolution. The production team understands what needs attention, and customers receive the inspection documentation their orders require.
As you learn our processes, you’ll manage routine inspection work independently and help improve the consistency and efficiency of our quality checks.

Quality Control Technician Jobs in Idaho: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quality control technician in Idaho?
Most quality control technician roles in Idaho are accessible with an associate degree in manufacturing technology, food science, chemistry, or a related field, though some employers accept a high school diploma paired with direct inspection experience. Idaho does not issue a state license specific to quality control technicians, but food industry roles often require Food Safety Manager certification through a program recognized by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Semiconductor and electronics employers in the Boise area typically prioritize candidates with cleanroom experience or metrology coursework.
Which companies hire quality control technicians in Idaho?
Companies currently hiring quality control technicians in Idaho include Enpro, P. Kay Metal, and Seneca Foods, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Idaho's food processing and semiconductor sectors are the most consistent sources of openings, with facilities in the Magic Valley and Treasure Valley running quality teams year-round.
Which Idaho cities have the most quality control technician jobs?
Boise, Nampa, and Lewiston account for the largest share of quality control technician openings in Idaho. Boise leads because of its concentration of semiconductor fabs and electronics manufacturers, while Twin Falls and Pocatello are driven by large food processing and agricultural equipment facilities that require continuous quality inspection staff.
Are there remote quality control technician jobs in Idaho?
Yes, but they're rare. Quality control technician work is inherently hands-on, requiring physical inspection of materials, products, or production lines that can't be performed off-site. About 0% of quality control technician openings tied to Idaho are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those that qualify tend to involve document control, supplier audit coordination, or quality system administration rather than floor-level inspection duties.
How can I get hired as a quality control technician in Idaho with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for production operator or line inspector roles at Idaho food processors such as Lamb Weston or Glanbia Foods, where internal quality programs regularly promote from the floor after three to six months. Community College of Southern Idaho and the College of Western Idaho both offer manufacturing and food science certificates that strengthen applications. Candidates who obtain a Food Safety Manager certification before applying stand out at food industry employers throughout the Magic Valley, even without prior quality department experience.
