At a glance
Company: Helander Metal Spinning Company
Location: Addison, IL 60101 (1393 W. Jeffrey Dr., on-site)
Job Type: Full-Time
Pay: $28–$35/hr (based on demonstrated capability)
Shift: Day Shift
Experience: 3+ years
Work Authorization: ITAR environment (U.S. person required)

Why this job is worth considering

Helander Metal Spinning Company is looking for a Quality Inspector II to perform full dimensional and visual inspection on precision aerospace components, working independently within an AS9100D quality system. You'll interpret drawings and GD&T, support AS9102 First Article Inspection, and initiate nonconformance reports when something's off. Helander has a defined inspector ladder — Inspector II, Inspector III, and Senior Inspector/CMM Programmer — so there's a real path forward if you want to grow into CMM programming or a more senior inspection role. If you know your way around calipers, micrometers, indicators, and height gauges, and you want to work in a stable, established aerospace-manufacturing shop, this is worth a look.

What you'll be doing

  • Perform full dimensional and visual inspections independently using calipers, micrometers, indicators, and height gauges
  • Interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
  • Support AS9102 First Article Inspection (FAI) and document results
  • Initiate nonconformance reports (NCRs) and support disposition activities
  • Maintain inspection records and traceability per AS9100D requirements
  • Support in-process, receiving, and final inspection activities as assigned

Equipment and software

You'll work with:

  • Hand inspection tools — calipers, micrometers, indicators, and height gauges (core daily equipment)
  • CMM — occasional exposure is a plus, not required on day one

What we're looking for

Required:

  • 3+ years of dimensional inspection experience in a machining or precision manufacturing environment
  • Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation (ASME Y14.5)
  • Proficiency with hand inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators, height gauges)
  • Accurate, disciplined documentation of inspection results

Preferred:

  • AS9102 First Article Inspection experience
  • CMM exposure (operation or basic programming)
  • Aerospace, AS9100, or NADCAP experience

Pay, benefits and schedule

Pay: $28–$35/hr, commensurate with demonstrated inspection capability. Final level and pay are based on demonstrated competency, not tenure.

Schedule: Day shift, on-site.

Benefits: 401(k) with a 100%-vested 4% match after 30 days, employer-paid health insurance (70–80% of premium), complimentary life, vision, and dental insurance, 9 paid holidays, 15 vacation days, 3 personal/sick days, and tuition reimbursement.

About Helander Metal Spinning Company and apply

Helander holds AS9100, ISO9000, ITAR, and Nadcap-accredited welding certifications, so quality documentation and process control are part of daily work. This role is based at Helander's CNC machining facility at 1393 W. Jeffrey Dr., Addison, IL 60101.
