Quality Inspector (Aerospace - Second Shift)

Now Hiring: Quality Inspector – 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, hands-on surface plate inspection experience, 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.
• Perform dimensional inspections using surface plates and precision inspection equipment.
• 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.

Skills/Abilities

• Minimum 3 years inspecting machined aerospace or military parts (metal only).
• Hands-on experience performing dimensional inspections on a surface plate.
• 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.
