We are seeking an experienced, responsible professional with exceptional analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills. An inspector is in charge of maintaining a safe and healthy work environment and making sure all technicians are complying with the company specifications and work instructions. Other duties include generating reports, approving finished products, and entering the accumulated data. This position comes with a great deal of responsibility. You will need to be available to work full-time and any certifications are a plus.

Inspect aircraft components utilizing engineering drawings, blueprints, schematics, sketches, diagrams, CAD drawings, and technical instructions.
Maintain proficiency with specialized precision measuring equipment (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, multi-meters, etc.) and apply standard quality techniques to evaluate tolerances and limitations.
Accept or reject completed work orders and sign off on technical documentation once required quality standards are met.
Execute aircraft "shake inspections," properly annotating defects relative to specification and type design requirements.

2. Quality Documentation & Non-Conformance Management

Generate Quality Notifications (QNs), defect sheets, work instruction defects, and annotated pictures in company database systems (SAP, JIRA) for non-conforming parts or processes.

3. Cross-Functional Support & Safety Oversight

Support company safety standards and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) prevention programs with dedicated inspections.
Partner with Manufacturing Engineering (ME) and Design Organizations (DO) on Material Review Board (MRB) functions and support customer acceptance processes.
Clearly communicate quality requirements and non-conformities to technicians, supervisors, and production management, providing technical feedback to elevate workforce competency.

Requirements:

HS education or equivalent. A&P License a plus.

Experience: Hands-on inspection or technical assembly experience in an aerospace, aviation, or helicopter manufacturing environment.

Technical Literacy: Ability to read, interpret, and work directly from engineering blueprints, schematics, and work instructions.

Software Proficiency: Proficient with Windows PC environments and Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint).
