Description

Now Hiring: Quality Inspectors – Aerospace Manufacturing


Are you an experienced Quality Inspector looking to advance your career in a high-precision aerospace machine shop? We are seeking mid- to advanced-level Inspectors with strong experience inspecting machined metal aerospace or military parts, proficiency in GD&T, and familiarity with AS9100, AS9102, and ANSI Y14.5 standards.

This is a hands-on inspection role—not a quality administrator position—and does not involve final-release, audit packages, or administrative QA paperwork


Key Responsibilities

  • Perform in-process and first-article (AS9102) inspections of precision-machined aerospace components.
  • Use precision tools such as micrometers, calipers, thread gauges, height gauges, CMMs, profilometers, and optical comparators. 
  • Interpret complex blueprints and technical drawings using advanced GD&T (ANSI Y14.5).
  • Record inspection results in MRP systems.
  • Support NCR investigations and basic root-cause discussions (no ownership of CAPA or audit documentation).
  • Mentor junior inspectors and support team development.
  • Assist with traceability checks and adherence to FOD, PPE, and cleanroom protocols.
  • Ensure compliance with AS9100, ITAR, and internal quality procedures.

Requirements

Skills/Abilities

  • Minimum 3 years inspecting machined aerospace or military parts (metal only). 
  • Strong proficiency in GD&T, dimensional inspection, and visual inspection.
  • Knowledge of AS9100, AS9102, and ANSI Y14.5.
  • CMM programming experience (PC-DMIS) strongly preferred; ability to create or modify CMM routines is a plus.
  • Experience with 1factory, FileMaker, or similar QMS/MRP systems.
  • Strong shop math, problem-solving, and English communication skills.
  • Dependable, quality-focused, and able to work independently or in a team.
  • Must pass annual visual acuity and color-perception tests (NDT standards).
  • U.S. person required for ITAR compliance.

Schedule

  • Full-Time
  • Second Shift
  • Monday–Friday, 3:00 PM – 11:30 PM
  • Initial training will take place on Day Shift: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM

Compensation

  •  $22.50-$39.50 per hour (I, II, & III)

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, life insurance
  • Disability, vacation, sick pay
  • 401k

Physical Demands

  • Work primarily in an open warehouse environment with exposure to temperature changes, noise, vibrations, fumes, and chemicals
  • Frequent use of wrists, hands, and fingers
  • Extended periods of sitting, standing, walking, and bending
  • Occasionally lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 lbs

ITAR Requirement

This position requires the use of information subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). The candidate must be a U.S. person within the meaning of ITAR. ITAR defines U.S. persons as U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (i.e., Green Card holders), and some refugees.
