Quality Inspector I

(Machined Parts, Wire Harnesses & Advanced Assembly — U.S. Citizenship Required)

About the role

You’ll ensure aerospace hardware meets drawings, specs, and customer/regulatory requirements. Work spans first piece, in-process, receiving, and final inspection on precision-machined parts, wire/cable harnesses, and electro-mechanical assemblies. Training and mentorship provided for early-career quality talent with strong metrology aptitude.

Note: Due to contractual requirements, U.S. citizenship is required for this position.

What you’ll do

• Execute inspections: Perform first piece, in-process, receiving, and final inspections against engineering drawings, models, and work instructions.

• First Article (FAI): Prepare/verify AS9102 Forms 1–3, balloon drawings, collect objective evidence (certs/results), and submit complete packages.

• Metrology & equipment:

  • Operate CMM (run existing programs, set up parts/fixtures, verify alignments, interpret reports).

  • Operate VMM/vision systems and optical comparator for non-contact measurements.

  • Use hand tools: micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, height gauges, pin/thread gauges, torque tools, surface plates, indicators.

• Wire harness & assembly checks: Inspect crimps/terminations, continuity/hi-pot where applicable, routing/strain relief, labeling, and workmanship to spec.

• Documentation & traceability: Record results in QMS/ERP, attach certs (material, special processes, test), maintain lot/serial traceability.

• Nonconformance & corrective action: Create NCRs, segregate/tag suspect material, participate in CAR/8D investigations, verify effectiveness.

• Supplier/product support: Review incoming certs (heat treat, plating, NDT), sample to AQL/ANSI plans, provide clear feedback to internal teams/suppliers.

• Housekeeping & safety: Maintain 5S, follow ESD/FOD controls, and adhere to all safety/quality policies.

Minimum qualifications

• U.S. citizen (required due to contractual requirements).

• High school diploma or equivalent (AA/technical certificate a plus).

• Drawing & GD&T: Read complex aerospace drawings; working knowledge of ASME Y14.5 (position, profile, runout, etc.).

• Metrology: Proficient with micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, pins/thread gauges; able to set up on a surface plate.

• CMM/VMM: Able to operate a CMM (e.g., PC-DMIS, Calypso) and a VMM/vision system (e.g., OGP, Keyence): run programs, confirm setups, interpret reports.

• Basic computer skills for data entry/reporting (Excel/Sheets, QMS/ERP).

• Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and communication skills.

• Able to stand, reach, and occasionally lift up to ~35 lbs; fine motor skills for precision measurement.

Preferred/“nice to have”

• AS9102 FAI experience; exposure to AS9100 quality systems.

• Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 (cable & harness workmanship) and basic electrical test (continuity/hi-pot).

• Experience with SPC, capability checks, and gage R&R/MSA concepts.

• Exposure to special processes/NDT review (heat treat, chem film, anodize, plating, penetrant).

• Ability to make minor edits to CMM/VMM programs under supervision.

• Prior work in precision machining or aerospace assembly environments.

Success metrics

• On-time FAI closure; first-pass yield on first-piece checks.

• Defects per lot and escape rate; audit findings and NCR/CAR cycle time.

• Accuracy/completeness of records and traceability.

Schedule & pay (customize)

• Full-time, day shift (overtime as needed). 7am - 3:30pm

• Pay: DOE benefits (401(k), PTO).
