• Maintain traceability and complete documentation for all inspected components in alignment with ITAR and AS9100 requirements.
• Participate in internal audits and support external regulatory inspections or customer audits as needed.
• Ensure all inspection equipment and tools are properly calibrated, maintained, and used in accordance with procedures.
• Help implement, reinforce, and sustain best practices on the manufacturing floor to promote a strong culture of quality.
• Contribute to quality initiatives related to aerospace propulsion systems, engine components, and new product introduction (NPI) activities.

Essential Skills

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in quality inspection within an aerospace or precision manufacturing environment.
• Strong working knowledge of mechanical inspection methods and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting engineering drawings, technical specifications, and work instructions.
• Familiarity with AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards and ITAR compliance requirements.
• Comfortable using inspection software, ERP systems, and the Microsoft Office Suite.
• Strong attention to detail with excellent organizational skills and a high level of documentation accuracy.
• Ability to work independently while also collaborating effectively as part of a cross-functional team.
• Strong communication skills to clearly convey inspection findings and collaborate with production, engineering, and supply chain stakeholders.
