Aerospace Quality Inspector

Job Summary We specialize in machining complex geometries and difficult-to-cut alloys; your expertise in mechanical dimensional inspection is vital to ensuring these intricate designs meet the uncompromising standards of flight safety. Duties and Responsibilities Mechanical Dimensional Inspection: Utilize precision hand tools—including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, and indicators—run CMM programs to verify tight-tolerance features and internal diameters against engineering blueprints. Blueprint & GD&T Interpretation: Read and interpret complex engineering drawings and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards for contoured structural components. Technical Documentation: Record, organize, and report inspection results. Generate non‑conformance reports (NCRs) and collaborate with engineering and manufacturing leads to resolve root causes of defects. Equipment Calibration: Set up, calibrate, and perform daily/weekly process control checks on NDT equipment and mechanical measuring tools. Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI): Training provided to perform high‑sensitivity Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) on complex, multi‑axis machined parts to detect discontinuities in aluminum, titanium, and advanced aerospace alloys. Qualifications / Requirements Geometric Expertise: Proven track record of inspecting high‑precision components with complex geometries (e.g., 5‑axis milled parts). Mechanical Skills: Proficiency in manual dimensional inspection and the use of standard metrology equipment. Vision: Must pass and maintain current eye examinations (Jaeger requirements) as required by NAS‑410. Preferred Skills Experience with Model‑Based Definition (MBD) and digital inspection techniques. Familiarity with AS9100 quality management systems. Knowledge of additional NDT methods (e.g., Magnetic Particle, Eddy Current, or Ultrasonic Testing). Pay: $26.00 - $31.00 per hour Education: High school diploma or GED Minimum experience: Minimum of 2–4 years of quality inspection experience in an aerospace manufacturing environment. #J-18808-Ljbffr
