The Senior Quality Inspector will own inspection from the dock to the finished part. You'll be the first line of defense between a defect and a flight-critical assembly, catching issues on incoming hardware, in-process builds, and final acceptance, and building the data packages that prove our hardware is what we say it is. This is a hands-on role for someone who already knows their way around a drawing and a set of calipers, and who's ready to take on more ownership with support from Quality Engineering.

This is a 1st shift position with a standard schedule of 8:00AM-5:00PM, Monday through Friday. Please note that this position may include occasional overtime as needed to meet operational goals.
