Great Benefits & 401K

We are seeking an experienced Quality Supervisor to lead inspection and CMM activities within a precision aerospace manufacturing environment supporting complex structural and machined components.

The primary requirement for this position is strong quality leadership/supervisory experience. Candidates do not need to be expert CMM programmers; however, they must have a solid manufacturing quality background, understand dimensional inspection, and be willing and able to develop their knowledge of CMM equipment and processes.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of supervisory, leadership, or team-lead experience within quality, inspection, manufacturing, machining, aerospace, or a related precision manufacturing environment.
• Strong hands-on background in Quality Assurance (QA), Quality Control (QC), dimensional inspection, or manufacturing quality.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, GD&T, dimensional tolerances, and technical specifications.
• Experience with precision measurement equipment and metrology/inspection processes.
• Working knowledge of CMM inspection or demonstrated ability and willingness to learn CMM equipment, software, and programming.
• Experience with AS9100, AS9102, First Article Inspection (FAI), RCCA, nonconformance, and corrective-action processes strongly preferred.
• Aerospace, defense, space, precision machining, aerostructures, or other highly regulated manufacturing experience preferred.
• Experience inspecting complex machined components, precision parts, assemblies, tooling, or structural components is highly desirable.
• CATIA V5 and CMM programming/operation experience is a plus, but advanced CMM programming experience is not required.

Essential Duties:

• Perform Supervise and provide day-to-day leadership to Quality Inspectors, CMM Operators, and CMM Programmers, including workload, priorities, productivity, and quality performance.
• Coordinate daily inspection and CMM activities to support production schedules and customer requirements.
• Participate in Gemba walks and communicate inspection status, CMM workload, programming needs, constraints, and priorities.
• Lead and support root cause and corrective action (RCCA) and continuous-improvement efforts involving inspection, quality, and production issues.
• Review engineering drawings, manufacturing plans, CAD/digital models, GD&T, dimensions, and tolerance requirements for precision aerospace components and assemblies.
• Support the inspection and acceptance of complex 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC-machined components and aerospace structures.
• Interpret dimensional inspection results and partner with Manufacturing and Engineering to resolve nonconformances and process issues.
• Support CMM operation and programming, including CATIA V5-based environments, and develop additional CMM expertise as needed.
• Perform or support in-process, final, and First Article Inspection (FAI) activities.
• Prepare and maintain AS9102 First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) and other required quality documentation.
• Perform dimensional and mechanical inspections using CMMs and precision measurement/metrology equipment, including micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges, calipers, and related inspection tools.
• Maintain inspection records, CMM programs, quality documentation, and configuration-controlled data.
• Support internal, customer, ISO/AS9100, and quality-system audits.
• Work cross-functionally with Quality, Manufacturing, Engineering, CNC/Machining, and Production teams to improve quality, throughput, and inspection processes.
