Ready to grow your quality career in aerospace?

Join Align Aerospace as a Quality Specialist—where your sharp eye in quality keeps aircraft safe, your voice strengthens our team, and your career takes off.

Why This Role is Awesome:

  • You’ll Do More Than Inspect – You'll own the quality game from First Article Inspections (FAIs) to root cause investigations, while also working with suppliers and customers to solve issues and prevent them from happening again.
  • Grow While You Work – We invest in you. From cross-training to certifications, we offer paid development to build your skills and move you forward.
  • Be the Go-To Expert – Whether it's decoding blueprints, reading GD&T, or leading corrective actions, you'll be the one others rely on.
  • Great Vibes, Real Tools – This is a hands-on, tool-forward job in a busy warehouse setting where accuracy meets action

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Conduct advanced First Article Inspections (FAIs) using micrometers, calipers, ring/thread gauges, optical comparators, and more
  • Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, and customer specs using GD&T
  • Investigate and resolve supplier and customer non-conformances
  • Work through quality portals to manage customer claims and rejections
  • Log NCRs and inspection results into SAP and Excel like a pro
  • Lead or support internal/external audits, including supplier corrective actions
  • Collaborate across departments—Production, Sales, Customer Service, and Quality
  • Mentor junior inspectors and help elevate team standards

Requirements:

What Will You Bring as the Ideal Candidate?

  • Experience: 3–5+ years of hands-on inspection experience in aerospace, medical devices, or other high-precision manufacturing environments.
  • Computer Skills : Confident navigating inspection software, SAP/ERP systems, and Microsoft Excel
  • Tool Guru : Expertise with tools like micrometers, calipers, ring/thread gauges, CMM, and optical comparators
  • Quality Expert : Deep familiarity with AS9100, AS9102, ISO 9001, and customer quality requirements
  • Decision Maker : A sharp eye and decisive judgment – you’ve led FAIs and made tough calls with confidence
  • Strong organizational skills – from paperwork to multitasking electronically in a fast-paced environment
  • Focus and grit – you’ll be seated at a desk, inspecting in a warm, active warehouse environment.

  Bonus Points If You Have:  

  • Internal auditor certifications (AS9100 or ASQ CQA/CQI)
  • Experience using Net-Inspect or other similar inspection systems
  • Delegated source inspector credentialing
  • SAE or similar inspection certifications.
