Laser North, a laser cutting and fabrication specialist, seeks a Quality Control Technician to join their growing team in Baraga, Michigan. This role is a key partner to our shop floor and leadership team, helping ensure the parts we produce consistently meet (and exceed) customer expectations. You’ll take ownership of quality projects, support continuous improvement, and help keep our quality systems strong, practical, and effective.
If you’re the kind of person who naturally spots the details, enjoys making sense of how things work, and feels a little extra proud when the final product is just right, you’ll feel right at home here. We’re looking for someone who loves quality, thrives on teamwork, and enjoys solving problems along the way—if that sounds like you, this might be your perfect next move.

- Safe, clean, and bright work environment.
What You Will Do. You will be part quality champion, part problem-solver, and part go-to resource for the team.
- Be the friendly voice of quality on the shop floor—sharing goals, ideas, and raising flags when something doesn’t look quite right.
- Help teammates understand why quality matters and how their work directly impacts our customers.
