Job Description

Job Description

A day in the life

You start your shift by reviewing shop travelers and engineering drawings for a new aerospace part run. First-article inspections kick off your morning, followed by in-process checks at the machines and a slate of final inspections in the afternoon. Throughout the day, you navigate an AS9100 and ISO9001-certified quality system, documenting results with precision and partnering with machinists to keep small- and medium-sized metal and plastic components within spec for aerospace, defense, and commercial customers.

What you will do

• Perform first article, in-process, and final inspections on precision-machined parts (metals and plastics).
• Interpret complex engineering drawings and specifications; align work with shop travelers and quality procedures.
• Use metrology equipment to verify dimensions and features, record results, and escalate nonconformances when required.
• Support certificate review for outside processing (heat treat, anodize, plating, passivation, etc.).

Tools and techniques you’ll rely on

• Optical and video comparators
• Surface plates and height gages
• Micrometers and calipers
• Plug and ring thread gages
• Pin gages
• Basic calibration methods
• Working knowledge of AMS and MIL standards

What you bring

• 3–7 years in a job shop environment with minimal supervision required; you’re a self-starter.
• Proficiency reading intricate engineering drawings and following work instructions via shop travelers.
• Uncompromising attention to detail and a precision mindset.
• Familiarity with true positioning and GD&T is a plus.
