- Continuous Improvement: Investigate non‑conformities, perform root‑cause analysis, and implement effective CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions).
Skills & Qualifications
- Experience: 6+ years of recent inspection experience in a manufacturing environment, with at least 2 years in a leadership or supervisory capacity.
- Technical Mastery: Proficient in reading blueprints and applying advanced GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
- Aerospace Standards: Strong working knowledge of AS9100D QMS and experience preparing/maintaining AS9102 documentation.
- Metrology Tools: Hands‑on experience with CMM, FARO Arm, and metrology software such as PC‑DMIS or Verisurf.
- Software Proficiency: Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., JobBOSS), CAD software (CATIA V5 preferred), and MS Office 365.
- Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with major aerospace standards including BAC, BMS, BDS, and MIL specs.
- High School Diploma, GED, or equivalent is required.
