Your mission

Bring rigor to every detail—from incoming material checks to final acceptance. You’ll balance administrative precision with hands-on verification, using vision systems and inspection tools while maintaining an inclusive, safety-first environment.

How you’ll contribute

• Guard the details—precision and completeness are non-negotiable.
• Execute inspections/tests for WIP, finished goods, raw materials, and tooling per established procedures.
• Lead First Article Inspection efforts: plan, interpret specs and drawings, create ballooned prints, and compile compliance matrices.
• Turn complex technical documents into clear inspection criteria.
• Maintain and update controlled documents (process sheets, work orders, inspection reports) as specs evolve.
• Validate work package completeness (work orders, batch tests, incoming/tooling inspection, etc.).
• Write clear work instructions, forms, test reports, and supporting quality documentation.
• Drive corrective action using structured root cause methods for nonconformances.
• Operate a range of inspection tools and vision systems with confidence.
• Assist with internal, customer, and registrar audits.
• Model safe work practices (including appropriate PPE) and foster a collaborative, inclusive culture.
• Prioritize effectively to maximize quality and efficiency.
• Support QC priorities while owning your core QA responsibilities.

What you bring

• High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
• 2+ years in a QA technician or similar quality role.
• Knowledge of ISO 9001, AS9100, or comparable systems.
• Independent, organized, and thorough from start to finish.
• Strong communicator who spots risks and prevents repeat issues.
• Digitally fluent—ERP (QAD a plus), Microsoft Office, and customer portals.
• Comfort in a manufacturing/production setting.
• Enjoys a primarily administrative/technical QA scope with significant computer use.
