Job Description

Job Description

Quality Inspection Lead

Precision Manufacturing | Aerospace | SpaceX | Oil & Gas

Houston, TX Area

$42–$45/hour + 100% Employer Paid Health Insurance

We are partnering with a highly specialized precision manufacturing company that supports customers across  Aerospace, SpaceX, Oil & Gas, Automotive, and international industrial markets.

This is not a high-volume production environment where you inspect the same part repeatedly every day.

This is a  high-mix, precision-focused operation where quality matters more than speed. Their shop is clean, air-conditioned, highly organized, and built around long-term quality performance.

They are seeking a  Quality Inspection Lead to step into a critical role as a long-tenured employee prepares for retirement after 16 years.

This position serves as a key checkpoint before products move to customers and will play a major role in maintaining quality standards across complex machined and welded components.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • $42–$45/hour compensation
  • 100% employer-paid health insurance
  • Clean, air-conditioned facility
  • Work with Aerospace, SpaceX, and Oil & Gas customers
  • Modern inspection equipment
  • High variety of parts and projects
  • Quality-focused environment (not chaotic production pressure)
  • Stable leadership team
  • Long-tenured workforce

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Perform First Article Inspections on machined components
  • Review blueprints, dimensional drawings, and balloon drawings
  • Conduct detailed inspections on complex parts
  • Write and manage Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs)
  • Oversee calibration schedules and documentation
  • Ensure quality documentation remains accurate and audit-ready
  • Work closely with machining, production, and leadership teams
  • Serve as a critical final checkpoint before products ship to customers

Equipment / Technical Environment

Experience with the following is highly preferred:

  • CMM equipment
  • Optical comparators
  • Vision measurement systems
  • Precision measuring tools
  • ERP-driven production tracking systems

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong quality inspection experience in manufacturing environments
  • First Article Inspection experience is required
  • Experience writing NCRs
  • Experience managing calibrations
  • Ability to read blueprints and dimensional drawings
  • Strong computer/documentation skills
  • High attention to detail
  • Strong communication skills
  • Self-starter mentality

Preferred Background

Experience in any of the following environments is highly valued:

  • Aerospace
  • Oil & Gas
  • Medical device
  • Automotive
  • Precision machining
  • Small machine shops/job shops

Machining experience is helpful but not required.

Work Schedule

  • 12-hour shifts
  • 1-hour lunch break
  • Two 15-minute breaks

The environment is structured, organized, and intentionally focused on quality over speed.

Ideal Candidate

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy:

  • precision work
  • accountability
  • autonomy
  • problem solving
  • working in smaller teams
  • high standards without unnecessary chaos

Equal Opportunity Employer

We are committed to creating a diverse workplace and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or other protected classifications.
