A Day in the Life

The Inspector III plays a critical role in ensuring the quality and reliability of Medtronic products by performing detailed incoming and in-process inspections for both capital equipment and disposable product lines. Working across regulated manufacturing environments, including ECA clean rooms and power systems areas, this role serves as a key quality gatekeeper—verifying that raw materials and components meet engineering drawings, GD&T requirements, and inspection plans before being released into production.

This is a mid-level inspection role for someone with a solid foundation in GD&T, blueprint reading, and hands-on use of inspection tools such as calipers, micrometers, optical comparators, and CMM equipment. The Inspector III is responsible for identifying critical features, selecting the correct inspection methods, validating tight tolerances, and documenting results to ensure full traceability and compliance. The role offers strong learning opportunities, with exposure to high-precision measurement techniques and advanced inspection equipment in a highly regulated medical device manufacturing environment.

We’re working 5-days per week onsite as part of our commitment to fostering a culture of professional growth and cross-functional collaboration as we work together to engineer the extraordinary.

First shift hours: Monday through Friday, 5:00 AM to 1:30 PM with occasional overtime required.

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned.

• Perform incoming inspection of critical raw materials and components to verify conformance to engineering drawings, GD&T requirements, material specifications, and quality inspection plans prior to release into production.

• Interpret engineering drawings and specifications to identify critical features, tolerances, and inspection criteria for both capital equipment and disposable product lines.

• Select, set up, and use appropriate inspection and test equipment (e.g., calipers, micrometers, optical comparators, CMM, steel rulers, digital multimeters) based on feature requirements and tolerance levels.

• Execute dimensional and functional inspections, including high precision measurements using CMM and comparators for tight tolerance components.

• Inspect parts and materials within regulated manufacturing environments, including ECA clean rooms and power systems areas, ensuring compliance with internal procedures and regulatory standards.

• Act as a quality owner, confirming that inspection activities performed by operators meet documented requirements and inspection criteria.

• Accurately document inspection results, analyses, and test data to ensure full traceability of parts, inspection methods, and acceptance decisions.

• Review production and inspection records for conformance to procedures, supporting audits, investigations, and product release decisions.

• Conduct non conformance inspections and testing of materials or product when quality issues are identified, supporting root cause analysis and containment activities.

• Support maintenance, verification, and certification activities for inspection and test equipment to ensure accuracy and compliance.

• Continuously develop inspection capability by learning and applying advanced metrology techniques and higher precision inspection methods as part of day to day work.
