Quality Technician

Building aerospace. Growing the people who engineer it. Because great engineers aren't simply hired. They're developed here.

PURPOSE:

The Quality Technician supports the day-to-day quality activities that keep aerospace production moving safely, efficiently, and in compliance with customer requirements.

Working closely with Production, Quality, Engineering, Inspection, and Shipping, this position helps verify product conformance, resolve shipment holds, organize and maintain quality documentation, support customer return investigations, and provide information needed for Material Review Board (MRB) and other quality activities.

This is a hands-on position for someone who pays attention to the details, takes pride in doing things right, and naturally looks for ways to make processes work better. The right individual will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced Quality and Product Engineers and develop a broader understanding of aerospace manufacturing, quality systems, inspection, and problem solving.

If you're the kind of person who notices the small details others miss, looks for more efficient ways to do things, and takes pride in quality work, we encourage you to apply. You don't need to have every skill today. We're looking for the right mindset and the desire to learn.

• Willing to ask questions and learn.

WE DON'T HIRE RESUMES. WE HIRE MINDSETS.

If you're someone who notices problems, cares about the details, wants to understand why things work the way they do, and looks for ways to make them better, don't be afraid to apply even if you don't check every box.
