Quality Control Inspector

The Quality Control Inspector will perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections of precision-machined components. This role requires strong knowledge of engineering drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), precision measuring instruments, and quality documentation.

The ideal candidate has experience in a CNC machining environment and understands the importance of accuracy, traceability, and compliance with aerospace quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections of precision-machined components.
• Inspect aerospace and other precision components against engineering drawings, customer specifications, and applicable quality requirements.
• Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerances, and inspection requirements.
• Operate precision measuring instruments, including micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, and other inspection equipment.
• Perform dimensional inspections using coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and other advanced measurement systems.
• Use CMM software, such as PC-DMIS or equivalent, to measure and verify component dimensions where applicable.
• Conduct visual inspections to identify defects, surface imperfections, and dimensional non-conformities.
• Complete inspection reports, first-article inspection documentation, and other quality records as required.
• Verify material certifications, work orders, and supporting documentation to maintain product traceability.
• Identify, document, and report non-conforming materials or products in accordance with established procedures.
• Work closely with CNC machinists, programmers, and production personnel to investigate quality issues and support corrective actions.
• Maintain calibration and inspection records for measuring equipment as required.
• Support internal and external audits and help maintain compliance with AS9100D and ISO 9001 quality management system requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to reduce defects and improve manufacturing quality.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Previous experience in quality inspection within a CNC machine shop or precision manufacturing environment.
• Experience inspecting aerospace components is strongly preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and dimensional tolerances.
• Proficiency with precision measuring instruments, including calipers, micrometers, and height gauges.
• Experience operating CMM equipment and familiarity with PC-DMIS or equivalent software is an asset.
• Knowledge of AS9100D and ISO 9001 quality management system requirements.
• Familiarity with first-article inspection, inspection reports, non-conformance reporting, and product traceability.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with production personnel.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Commitment to accuracy, quality, and adherence to established procedures.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in an aerospace machining or manufacturing environment.
• Experience with 3-, 4-, or 5-axis CNC-machined components.
• Familiarity with root cause analysis and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Experience supporting AS9100D or ISO 9001 audits.
