Aerospace Quality Inspector

Job Summary

We specialize in machining complex geometries and difficult-to-cut alloys; your expertise in mechanical dimensional inspection is vital to ensuring these intricate designs meet the uncompromising standards of flight safety.

• Mechanical Dimensional Inspection: Utilize precision hand tools—including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, and indicators—run CMM programs to verify tight-tolerance features and internal diameters against engineering blueprints.
• Blueprint & GD&T Interpretation: Read and interpret complex engineering drawings and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards for contoured structural components.
• Technical Documentation: Record, organize, and report inspection results. Generate non‑conformance reports (NCRs) and collaborate with engineering and manufacturing leads to resolve root causes of defects.
• Equipment Calibration: Set up, calibrate, and perform daily/weekly process control checks on NDT equipment and mechanical measuring tools.
• Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI): Training provided to perform high‑sensitivity Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) on complex, multi‑axis machined parts to detect discontinuities in aluminum, titanium, and advanced aerospace alloys.

• Geometric Expertise: Proven track record of inspecting high‑precision components with complex geometries (e.g., 5‑axis milled parts).
• Mechanical
  
  Skills:
  
  Proficiency in manual dimensional inspection and the use of standard metrology equipment.
• Vision: Must pass and maintain current eye examinations (Jaeger requirements) as required by NAS‑410.

• Experience with Model‑Based Definition (MBD) and digital inspection techniques.
• Familiarity with AS9100 quality management systems.
• Knowledge of additional NDT methods (e.g., Magnetic Particle, Eddy Current, or Ultrasonic Testing).

Pay: $26.00 - $31.00 per hour

Education: High school diploma or GED

Minimum experience: Minimum of 2–4 years of quality inspection experience in an aerospace manufacturing environment.
