What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Quality Assurance Engineer position at Kadon Precision Machining?

Description

Join a Fast-Growing Team and Shape the Future of Quality!

We’re expanding rapidly — and we’re looking for a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer who’s ready to grow with us. If you’re passionate about precision, love tackling complex challenges, and want to play a key role in elevating a world-class manufacturing operation, this is your opportunity.

What You’ll Do

As part of our growing Quality team, you’ll make a direct impact on the parts and processes that keep our customers flying. You’ll:

  • Build and implement end-to-end quality processes for highly engineered aerospace components.
  • Use cutting-edge tools like OpenDMIS, SolidWorks, Inspection Manager, and more to balloon drawings, write CMM programs, and design custom inspection fixtures.
  • Prepare accurate, professional First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) that reflect the precision of our work.
  • Audit manufacturing processes, evaluate fixtures, and analyze finished parts to ensure they meet internal and customer expectations.
  • Dive into root-cause analysis, solve problems, and drive corrective and preventive actions that improve quality across the shop.
  • Partner closely with Engineering, Machining, and Inspection teams to optimize inspection strategies and improve efficiency.
  • Lead special projects, support team members, and share your expertise as we continue to scale.
  • Evaluate and re-certify stock materials when needed — keeping production flowing smoothly.

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll collaborate daily with a team that’s hands-on, motivated, and excited about our company’s momentum. You’ll work independently but always have support from your Quality Manager, engineers, and fellow inspectors.

Requirements

What You Bring

  • ASQ certification is a bonus.
  • At least 8 years of experience in aerospace/defense machining and inspection.
  • Strong knowledge of quality methods, machining processes, and assembly/deburring basics.
  • A proactive, team-first mindset with a passion for improving processes and driving results.

Why This Is a Great Time to Join

  • We’re growing — fast. That means more opportunities, fresh challenges, and room for you to take the lead.
  • Your work will directly influence our quality systems as we scale.
  • You’ll join a team that values innovation, continuous improvement, and craftsmanship.
  • You’ll help shape the next chapter of a company on the rise.
