Job description

Inspection & Testing:

• Inspection & Testing: Perform detailed incoming, in-process, and final inspections of electrical assemblies, wire harnesses, avionics racks, and circuit board assemblies (PCBAs).

Compliance & Standards:

• Compliance & Standards: Ensure all products meet strict aerospace standards, including AS9100, IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620.

Root Cause Analysis:

• Root Cause Analysis: Investigate electrical failures, non-conformances, and test deviations. Lead the corrective and preventive action (CAPA) processes to ensure issues don\'t repeat.

Auditing:

• Auditing: Conduct internal audits of manufacturing processes, test setups, and supplier facilities to maintain high-quality benchmarks.

Documentation:

• Documentation: Review and approve manufacturing routers, test logs, engineering drawings, and First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) per AS9102.

Prepare and maintain inspection plans, checklists, NCR, MRB, and CAPA records.

Compliance:

• Compliance: Ensure compliance with AS9100 and DGCA airworthiness requirements.

Collaboration:

• Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain teams to resolve quality bottlenecks and improve production yields.
