Job Description
An aerospace company is seeking Production Quality Inspectors to join their team. As a Production Quality Inspector, you’ll ensure the manufactured parts and assemblies meet rigorous aerospace standards for safety, reliability, and performance. This person would not be receiving inspections but would be working in-process and final inspections as well as be responsible for completed FAI packages (in conjunction with QE). You’ll own inspections across the full production lifecycle—in-process, first article, and final—and play a critical role in verifying every component is compliant before it’s cleared for shipment or flight.
Day to Day:
Visual inspections: Perform detailed visual inspections to defined standards.
Dimensional & physical inspections: Inspect incoming aerospace parts using precision tools (micrometers, calipers, height gauges, thread gauges, etc.).
Engineering compliance: Interpret complex blueprints, engineering drawings, and technical specifications to validate conformance to design requirements and tolerance levels.
First Article Inspection (FAI): Perform and document FAIs in accordance with AS9102 standards to validate initial production meets customer specifications.
Precision measurement: Use advanced tools such as CMM, borescopes, micrometers, and calipers to validate high-precision tolerances.
Documentation & traceability: Record data and maintain accurate quality records (logs, reports, CoCs), ensuring full traceability for every inspected part; review shop job packages.
Discrepancy reporting: Identify and document nonconformances (NCRs) and partner with Quality Engineering, Engineering, and Production on corrective actions or rework recommendations.
Audit support: Assist with internal/external QMS audits for compliance with AS9100 and regulatory standards (FAA).
