Aerospace Dimensional Quality Inspector

Job Description

Job Description Aerospace Dimensional Quality Inspector

Picture your day: you start by reviewing the queue of incoming, in‑process, and final assemblies. You select the right metrology tools—micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, bore gauges, surface plates, optical comparators, air gauging, thread and plug gauges, and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs)—and get to work verifying critical features. A First Article Inspection (FAI) lands on your bench; you methodically validate it against our QMS and customer specifications, documenting every step in both digital and hard-copy records. Before lunch, you’ve entered new data sets that feed our QMS metrics; by afternoon, you’re supporting a customer audit, confirming that device calibration aligns with QP 7.6 and ISO 10012. You close the day by backing up quality data and partnering with Project Engineers to disposition discrepant material—always championing our Quality Policy and objectives.

Role Overview

Join our Quality Assurance team and report directly to the QA Manager. You’ll be a key contributor ensuring parts meet stringent aerospace and precision-manufacturing requirements from receiving through shipment.

What you’ll tackle

• Perform mechanical and visual inspections at receiving, in-process, and final stages.
• Use a full suite of metrology tools: micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, bore gauges, surface plates, optical comparators, air gauging, thread/plug gauges, and CMMs.
• Execute FAIs in accordance with QMS procedures and specific customer requirements.
• Create and maintain traceable inspection records—both electronic and manual.
• Input and manage data that supports QMS measurement and analysis activities.
• Support calibration and care of measurement devices in alignment with QP 7.6 and ISO 10012.
• Assist with internal, customer, and third‑party audits.
• Perform daily backups of quality-related data.
• Collaborate with Project Engineers to disposition nonconforming material.
• Advocate for and uphold our Quality Policies and Objectives.

What you bring

• 3–5 years of inspection experience in aerospace or a comparably regulated precision‑manufacturing setting.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, tolerances, and manufacturing travelers.
• Hands‑on proficiency with analog and digital tools: micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, and bore gauges.
• Working familiarity with GD&T.
• Accuracy in documenting results and maintaining fully traceable quality records.
• Basic computer literacy.
• Exceptional attention to detail.
