Maintain accurate inspection records, non‑conformity reports, and calibration logs; ensure all data is traceable
Initiate and process Non‑Conforming Material Reports (NCMRs), segregate defective items in quarantine
Work with purchasing, engineering, and supplier quality teams to resolve issues and improve supplier performance
First Article Inspections (FAI): Validate new or revised parts per AS9102 and internal procedures
Perform routine maintenance and calibration checks on inspection equipment
Assist in developing inspection criteria and methodologies; participate in training programs
What You'll Bring
2–5 years’ experience in quality inspection, manufacturing, or supply chain roles
Previous experience in quality inspection plans
Proficiency with precision measuring instruments and quality control methods
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications
Effective communication for reporting findings and collaborating with cross‑functional teams
