The right individual will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced Quality and Product Engineers and develop a broader understanding of aerospace manufacturing, quality systems, inspection, and problem solving.

If you're the kind of person who notices the small details others miss, looks for more efficient ways to do things, and takes pride in quality work, we encourage you to apply. You don't need to have every skill today. We're looking for the right mindset and the desire to learn.
