Quick answer -- the people who are "running" the primary portion. The ones that check that you're registered and give you the stuff you need to vote.
In the past, what they do is go to the last person in line at 7:00pm and say, "you are the last voter." A good judge/worker will give that person a sign, remember who they are, etc.

...and just to be extra careful -- as long as you are in the official line by 7:00pm and the election judge lets you cast a ballot, then you may attend the caucus -- which, as stated above, has to wait for the last vote to be cast.

These are the folks that will be sitting behind tables, checking to see who is registered to vote. You can always ask when you get there -- normally at least one of them is the "official" in charge, while the others are either alternates or clerks.

precinct chair? I know who that is.

It could be -- the precinct chair could volunteer all day as the election judge. In my precinct, its normally someone who has retired and can be at the polling place all day.

they'll be sitting up front signing in voters. the election judge is the person who actually runs the election for your precinct. =)
