Job description

We're seeking a Quality Engineer to develop and implement inspection plans that ensure aerospace components and assemblies meet engineering, customer, and regulatory standards. The role involves creating and maintaining inspection documentation, programming CMM for in-process and final inspections, and supporting compliance with AS9100, AS9110, AS9120, NADCAP, and FAA requirements. You will collaborate with design and engineering teams, lead root cause analysis for quality issues, and drive continuous improvements in inspection methods and processes. Candidates should have strong knowledge of GD&T, hands-on experience with inspection tools and CMM, and solid problem-solving skills.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Develop detailed inspection plans for aerospace components and assemblies, ensuring compliance with customer requirements, engineering specifications, and regulatory standards.
• Collaborate with design and engineering teams to define the most appropriate inspection methods and criteria for new parts, assemblies, and systems.
• Identify and select suitable inspection tools, techniques, and measurement equipment (e.g., CMM, optical, gaging etc.).
• Establish acceptance criteria and tolerances for aerospace products based on engineering drawings, material specifications, and industry standards.
• Create and maintain detailed inspection reports, documentation, and records, ensuring that all inspection activities are traceable and compliant with regulatory requirements.
• Develop inspection records that support traceability and certification, including first article inspections (FAI), in-process inspections, and final inspections.
• Create CMM or Gear Programming for in process inspection and final inspection.
• Ensure that all inspection processes adhere to aerospace industry standards, including AS9100, AS9110, AS9120, NADCAP, FAA regulations, and customer-specific requirements.
• Ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations, ensuring that all personnel are trained and knowledgeable about relevant protocols.
• Support internal and external audits related to inspection processes and quality assurance systems.
• Investigate and perform root cause analysis for any quality issues or inspection failures, using tools such as 8D, FMEA, and Fishbone diagrams.
• Lead initiatives to improve inspection processes, reduce inspection times, and increase the accuracy and reliability of inspections.
• Stay current with the latest inspection technologies, methodologies, and trends in the aerospace industry.

Preferred Skills:

• Strong knowledge of engineering drawings, tolerances, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Proficiency in the use of inspection tools and equipment (e.g., CMM, calipers, micrometers, etc.).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to perform root cause analysis and propose corrective actions.
• Good working on Quality Management System meeting AS9100, AS9102, AS13100 requirements.
• Competent in Microsoft Office applications.
• Experience to use simple CAD/drawing software, well on engineering drawing interpretation.
• Knowledge of Co-Ordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), and Non Destructive Testing (NDT) will be added advantages.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills.
