Receiving Quality Inspector

An aerospace company is seeking Receiving Quality Inspectors to join their team. As a Receiving Quality Inspector, you’ll ensure the manufactured parts and assemblies meet rigorous aerospace standards for safety, reliability, and performance. 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).
