  • Work closely with Engineering and Production teams to resolve quality issues and improve processes.
  • Ensure traceability of materials and components by verifying Certificates of Conformance (CoC), material test reports (MTRs), and manufacturing travelers.
  • Participate in internal audits and support root cause analysis and corrective/preventive action (CAPA) initiatives.
  • Maintain compliance with all applicable quality system procedures, work instructions, and safety regulations.

Required Qualifications:

  • High school diploma or equivalent; technical certification or associate degree in a relevant field preferred.
  • Minimum 3–5 years of experience in quality inspection within an AS9100 or ISO 9001 manufacturing environment, preferably in aerospace or defense.

  • Familiarity with AS9102 FAI requirements and document control practices.
  • Knowledge of quality assurance practices related to government contracts, DoD standards, and ITAR/EAR compliance.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document findings clearly and concisely.
  • U.S. Citizenship required due to government contract requirements.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) or portable metrology tools (e.g., FARO arm).
