Experienced Aerospace Final Inspector

Description: Join Align Aerospace as an Experienced Aerospace Final Inspector Not Entry-Level. Not Boring. Not Stuck. Precision. Authority. Career Trajectory.

At Align Aerospace, we don't just distribute aerospace fasteners - we protect aircraft, crews, and passengers around the world. We are hiring an experienced Final Quality Inspector who is ready to own the final release decision on mission-critical aerospace components.

This is not entry-level inspection. This is high-accountability, high-skill, high-impact work.

Your Role: The Final Authority

As our Experienced Final Inspector, you are the last technical checkpoint before parts ship to global aerospace customers.

You will independently:

• Inspect First Articles (FAIs) to AS9100 standards
• Interpret detailed engineering drawings and apply advanced GD&T
• Inspect high-precision aerospace fasteners and components
• Review Certificates of Conformance, test reports, and material certs
• Determine final acceptance or rejection based on contractual compliance
• Document findings in SAP and maintain audit-ready quality records
• Support delegated inspection activities when applicable
• Mentor junior inspectors and elevate team capability

You will regularly complete 20-24 inspection jobs per day while maintaining absolute accuracy.

This is a role for someone confident in their judgment and comfortable making technical calls without supervision.

You'll inspect and validate components to the industry's highest standards - AS9102, ISO 9001, and customer-specific specs. Every part you approve supports pilots, protects passengers, and powers global flight. This isn't just a job - it's a responsibility with altitude.
