About the Role

We're hiring a Quality Control Supervisor to lead our inspection team and ensure every part we ship meets aerospace-grade standards. This is a hands-on, floor-based leadership role; you'll supervise Quality Inspectors, run first article inspections, and make sure nonconforming parts never make it out the door.

• Oversee in-process and final inspection, plus functional testing of parts and assemblies
• Generate Nonconformance Reports (NCRs) and communicate findings to QA and area managers
• Maintain calibration schedules for inspection and measuring equipment
• Train inspectors on GD&T, inspection methods, and use of measuring instruments
• Produce customer documentation including DIPs, FAIRs, and Certificates of Conformance
• Flag process or supplier trends to Quality Assurance for follow-up

What You Bring

• 2+ years of lead or supervisory experience in a quality control role, ideally in aerospace
• Working knowledge of AS9100 inspection requirements and GD&T
• Comfort reading blueprints and using precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, CMM, gauges)
• Experience with MRP/ERP systems (Visual Manufacturing a plus)
• Strong Excel and Microsoft Office 365 skills
• Sharp attention to detail, you catch what others miss
• Associate's degree, or higher, preferred; a field related to quality, engineering, or manufacturing is a plus.

Certifications

• ASQ Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) or similar designation preferred
• Six Sigma Yellow Belt (minimum) is a plus
