Job description

Aerospace Precision Quality InspectorStep into a hands-on role where every thousandth of an inch matters. Reporting to the QA Manager, you’ll be the go-to expert for dimensional and visual verification of aerospace-grade components across receiving, in-process, and final inspection.A day in your lifeMorning begins at the surface plate: you verify calibration status, organize micrometers and calipers, and set up the optical comparator. A shipment arrives—receiving inspection kicks off with thread and plug gages, followed by documenting results in both computerized and manual logs. Midday, you run a First Article Inspection (FAI) per QMS and specific customer requirements, record results, and upload data to meet QMS data-gathering needs. In the afternoon, a component flags out-of-tolerance—you partner with Project Engineers to disposition the discrepant material. Before sign-off, you perform a daily backup of quality data and prep for upcoming internal, customer, or third-party audits.What you’ll handleMechanical and visual inspections at receiving, in-process, and final stagesUse of metrology tools: micrometers, calipers, height gages, surface plates, optical comparators, air gaging, thread gages, plug gages, and CMMsExecution of First Article Inspections (FAIs) per QMS and customer requirementsCreation and maintenance of inspection records and documentation (computer and manual)Data entry and management to support QMS data-gathering requirementsSupport for calibration and maintenance of measuring devices per QP 7.6 and ISO 10012Assistance with internal, customer, and third-party auditsDaily backups of quality dataCollaboration with Project Engineers in dispositioning discrepant materialPromotion of company Quality Policies and ObjectivesWhat you’ll bring3–5 years of quality inspection experience in aerospace or a similarly regulated precision-manufacturing environmentAbility to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, tolerances, and manufacturing travelersFluency with analog and digital inspection equipment (micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, bore gauges)Foundational knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)Accuracy in documenting results and maintaining traceable quality recordsBasic computer proficiency and a meticulous eye for detailCore proficienciesGD&TAerospace ManufacturingPrecision Measurement & InspectionBlueprint ReadingISO 10012CMMTools & technologiesMeasurement GaugesCalipers and Micrometers
