Description

Aerospace Quality Receiving Inspector - Stop Being "Just an Inspector." Become the Standard. | Align Aerospace - Chatsworth, CA

Ready to grow your quality career in aerospace?

At Align Aerospace, Receiving Inspectors aren’t box-checkers—they’re decision-makers at the front line of quality. You are the reason bad product never makes it into the system. If you’ve got 2-3 years of real inspection experience and you’re ready to level up- this is where you do it.

Join Align Aerospace as a Receiving Inspector—where your sharp eye in quality keeps aircraft safe, your voice strengthens our team, and your career takes off.

You’ll get:

• Hands-on development in aerospace inspection standards
• Exposure to FAIs, quality systems, and advanced inspection processes
• Clear path to:
• Final Inspector
• Quality Specialist (customer/supplier-facing)
• Audit & compliance roles
• and more...

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Inspect incoming aerospace hardware using calipers, micrometers, gauges, and comparators
• Read and interpret blueprints and specifications (and get better at it fast)
• Verify certifications, COCs, and traceability—no shortcuts
• Make accept/reject decisions that directly impact quality and customer trust
• Identify nonconforming material and stop it before it moves forward
• Work in SAP and quality systems to document everything cleanly and accurately
• Partner with warehouse, quality, and operations teams to keep product flowing

You are the gatekeeper. If you miss it- everyone is impacted.

Requirements

Who We’re Looking for as the Ideal Candidate?

You already know inspection. Now we’re looking for someone who wants to master it.

You bring:

• 2-3 years of hands-on inspection experience (aerospace, manufacturing, medical, or similar)
• Experience using precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges, etc.)
• Ability to read or willingness to quickly improve in blueprints / drawings
• Strong attention to detail and confidence in your decisions
• Comfort working in systems (ERP, Excel, inspection logs)

You stand out if you have:

• Exposure to GD&T or aerospace standards (AS9100 / ISO)
• Experience reviewing certs, traceability, or quality paperwork
• A reputation for being the one who catches what others miss

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Experience using Net-Inspect or other similar inspection systems
• Delegated source inspector credentialing
• SAE or similar inspection certifications.

What You Get

• 401(k) with company match
• Medical, Dental, and FREE Vision
• Paid holidays + strong PTO
• Annual bonus opportunity
• Flexible schedules (including every other Friday off)
• Casual environment (no lab coats-just real work)
• Shoe credit program
• Actual career growth (not just words in a job post)

The Environment

• Fast-paced, high-volume aerospace warehouse
• Hands-on inspection work—not stuck behind a desk
• Team that values accuracy, speed, and accountability
• A place where your work directly impacts aircraft safety and customer trust

What This Role Requires

• Ability to lift 30-50 lbs (with assistance when needed)
• Standing inspecting, and moving throughout the day
• Working in a non-temperature-controlled environment
• High focus-this is precision work, not guesswork

Bottom Line

If you want:

• To stop being underutilized
• To actually build a career in quality
• To be part of a team where your decisions matter

Because the best inspectors don’t stay average-and they don’t stay where they’re stuck.
