About The Position

We are hiring a senior-level Quality Technician to serve as a definitive quality authority on our machine shop floor, providing accurate, real-time feedback to our aerospace and defense manufacturing team. This is a high-level role for an experienced quality tech who thrives on accountability and taking absolute ownership of the inspection process in a high-precision machining environment. You will utilize a wide variety of tools—from manual measuring instruments and visual systems to CMMs—ensuring that every part meets rigorous industry and customer standards. While we have a robust quality department to support you, we need a confident professional who can step up, own the inspection data, and communicate findings constructively to the machinists. If you possess sharp attention to detail, a commitment to continuous improvement, and the communication skills to act as a true partner to the machine shop floor, we want to talk.

Responsibilities

Inspect complex parts to ensure strict conformity to customer requirements and industry standards. This includes dimensional, visual, material handling, workmanship, paint applications, and more.
