Full Job Description

L·Garde is a full-service design, development, and manufacturing supplier of spacecraft hardware to Tier 1 primes and government agencies. We provide systems engineering and skilled technicians to make Skunk Works-type projects a reality. With over 50 years of aerospace expertise, our deployable systems test the limits of what's possible in the harshest of environments - in orbit, on the moon, and even on other planets.

If you’re an individual with a sharp eye for detail, thrive in precision manufacturing, and want to contribute to the reliability of next-generation spacecraft, we invite you to join us as a Quality Assurance Inspector II.

b) Performing Work In Process (WIP) inspections for spacecraft payload assemblies

c) Supporting our suppliers with Source Inspection (primarily in Orange County, with up to 5% domestic travel)

This role will require the inspector to be adept at analyzing supplier inspection data, material traceability and test documentation to verify compliance with aerospace standards. The successful candidate will be a proactive problem-solver involved early in the product design and development phase to ensure our spacecraft and payload systems meet the highest standards of innovation and reliability.
