Job description

Cabelio Systems is a U.S.-based wire harness manufacturer on Florida's Space Coast, founded by former SpaceX and Blue Origin leaders. We build flight‑ and mission‑critical harnesses and cable assemblies to IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 Class 3, the industry's highest workmanship standard, powered by our own design and quoting software. We're a small, fast‑moving team that takes pride in building things right the first time.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Our Quality Inspector is the last line of defense before a harness ships. You will perform inspection against drawings and the IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 Class 3 standard, document results, and help us maintain full traceability on every unit we build. We are looking for someone who does more than catch defects: you will get to the root of issues, partner with production on solutions, and help move quality and throughput forward together.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Inspect wire harnesses and cable assemblies under magnification to IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 Class 3 acceptance criteria
• Perform first‑article inspections (FAI) on new part numbers
• Perform and verify continuity, insulation resistance, and hi‑pot (dielectric withstand) testing, following all high‑voltage safety procedures
• Maintain serial‑number traceability and digital inspection records in our manufacturing execution system (MES)
• Issue certificates of conformance and support root‑cause and corrective‑action activities
• Read and interpret drawings, schematics, GD&T, and customer specifications
• Use precision measurement and electrical test equipment
• Partner with production and engineering to root‑cause issues, find solutions, and drive measurable quality improvement

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• High school diploma or equivalency certificate
• 2+ years of experience in quality inspection of wire harnesses, cables, or electromechanical assemblies

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 certification (CIS)
• Working knowledge of IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 Class 3 acceptance criteria and IPC J‑STD‑001
• Experience with AS9100 or aerospace/defense quality management systems
• Proficiency with calipers, pin gauges, and electrical test equipment
• Experience with FAI, certificates of conformance, and corrective‑action processes
• Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and a quality‑first mindset
• Proficient with computers, including MS Office and quality/shop‑floor software

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Anticipated start date: late September 2026
• Must be able to work on‑site in Melbourne, FL, and available for overtime as needed
• Ability to pass NASA‑STD‑8739.6B Section 5.7.6 vision and color perception requirements, including the ability to distinguish wire and component color coding (corrected vision is acceptable)
• Stand: up to 10 hours per day
• Sit: up to 10 hours per day
• Push/Pull: up to 50 lbs. (unassisted), 15 minutes or less per day
• Lift/Carry: up to 25 lbs. (unassisted), 15 minutes or less per day
• Walk: up to 3 hours per day
• Kneel/Crouch: up to 3 hours per day
• Upper body twist: up to 6 hours per day
• Sustained fine‑detail inspection work under magnification
