The Role
As a Senior Quality Inspector, you'll be responsible for inspecting components, maintaining quality documentation, supporting production teams, and helping ensure compliance with AS9100D requirements.

  • Inspect components using sampling plans or 100% inspection requirements, depending on customer specifications
  • Operate optical comparators, Vertex inspection equipment, and other quality inspection tools
  • Create and maintain programs for Vertex inspection equipment
  • Review and complete quality documentation in line with AS9100D procedures
  • Support Quality Engineers with self-release inspections when needed
  • Manage and coordinate calibration activities for measuring tools and inspection equipment
  • Initiate MRB reviews when quality concerns arise and coordinate involvement from relevant stakeholders
  • Maintain product traceability throughout the inspection process
  • Partner with production teams on in-process inspection requests and quality-related issues

Qualifications
About You / What You'll Bring
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Experience in a quality inspection role within a manufacturing environment
  • Strong understanding of blueprint and drawing interpretation, including GD&T and ANSI Y14.5 standards
  • Hands-on experience with inspection equipment and precision measuring tools
  • Ability to create and manage inspection programs using Vertex equipment
  • Good communication skills and a collaborative approach to problem-solving
  • Ability to work with limited supervision while supporting a team environment
  • Comfortable lifting up to 35 pounds as part of normal job duties
  • Ability to meet pre-employment screening requirements
  • Eligibility to work in the United States in accordance with applicable regulations

What You'll Get
  • Competitive hourly pay: $27.00 - $35.00
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting on your first day of regular full-time employment
  • 401(k) plan
  • Vacation, holiday, and sick time
  • Quarterly bonus opportunity
  • Training and development opportunities to support career growth
  • A team-focused environment where quality is taken seriously, but not at the expense of common sense
