As a Quality Inspector, you will be responsible for measuring aerospace components to ensure they conform to specifications. Utilizing tools such as calipers, micrometers, pin gauges, and CMM, you will measure parts ranging from 1.5 inches to 120 inches with tolerances as precise as .2-.0001 of an inch. You will work within a centralized inspection area where the quality schedule is managed through a queue system, including in-work and post-run inspections. Additional inspections are required when parts return from coating at a sister plant. You will manually log quality updates on the paperwork accompanying the part through the entire process, updating the quality system accordingly, and logging the part to the next step in the production operation. If a part is rejected, you will fill out a nonconformance tag and send the part to the central inspection area for further testing.
