What you’ll do
- Perform incoming inspections on airframe components (e.g., flaps, slats, ailerons, spoilers, thrust reversers, nacelle/cowl panels, radomes, fairings, interior panels), documenting condition, damages, missing parts, and configuration.
- Interpret technical data (CMM, IPC, SRM, OEM drawings, SBs/SILs) to determine approved repair schemes, limits, and inspection criteria.
- Create damage maps and repair/estimate assessments with photos, dimensions, and references to applicable data to support accurate quoting.
- Conduct in-process and final inspections, verifying repairs, dimensions, clearances, fastener/cure/adhesive requirements, torque values, and cleanliness standards.
- Verify parts, hardware, and materials (traceability, lot/batch, shelf life, specs) and identify any specialized tools, fixtures, or processes required for RTS.
- Use and maintain precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, depth gauges), and basic NDI screening tools/equipment as qualified.
- Generate clear, concise inspection reports in the ERP/quality system; tag/identify items per company procedures.

- Strong ability to read and apply CMMs, IPCs, SRMs, engineering drawings, and OEM/FAA acceptable data to make sound repair/replace decisions.
- Proven skill in identifying damage modes (impact, delam, core crush, corrosion, wear, distortion), missing/incorrect hardware, and configuration issues.
- Proficient written and verbal communication; able to write clear inspection notes, photo captions, and customer-facing assessment summaries.
- Working knowledge of tools/materials used for composite and metallic repairs (adhesives, films, prepregs, core, bagging, cure methods; drill/ream, fasteners, sealants).
