Quality Control Inspector

Quality Inspector – Aerospace Machining | $25–$30/hr

We're seeking a Quality Inspector to join a growing precision machining team supporting the aerospace industry. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with tight-tolerance machined components in a modern quality lab equipped with new inspection technology.

In this role, you'll be responsible for performing First Article Inspections (FAIR), in-process (mid-cycle), and final inspections while ensuring parts meet strict quality standards. Many of the components are machined to extremely tight tolerances—as close as ±0.0001"—so attention to detail is essential.

Responsibilities

• Perform First Article (FAIR), in-process, and final inspections on precision machined components.
• Inspect parts to aerospace quality standards using a variety of precision measuring equipment.
• Operate a CMM to execute inspection programs (programming experience is not required).
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T.
• Record inspection results and maintain quality documentation.
• Work closely with machinists and engineering to resolve quality concerns and ensure product compliance.

Required Qualifications

• Previous Quality Inspector experience in a metal or plastic manufacturing environment.
• Experience operating a CMM (running inspection programs; programming not required).
• Hands-on experience performing FAIR, in-process, and final inspections.
• Strong knowledge of precision measuring equipment, including:
• Micrometers
• Calipers
• Bore gauges
• Other standard inspection tools
• Ability to inspect parts to tight tolerances.

Preferred Qualifications

• Aerospace manufacturing experience.
• Experience working in an AS9100, ISO 9001, or ISO 13485 environment.
• Experience with Zeiss CMMs.
• Exposure to Calypso software, including editing or basic programming.
• Hands-on machining, engineering, or manufacturing experience.

Why You'll Want This Opportunity

• Modern, climate-controlled quality lab with a new Zeiss CMM.
• Work with high-end CNC equipment producing precision aerospace components.
• Collaborative, team-oriented culture where leadership is hands-on and invested in employee success.
• Rapidly growing aerospace manufacturer with long-term career advancement opportunities.
• Opportunity to work alongside experienced machinists, engineers, and quality professionals on challenging, high-precision projects.
