Job 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.

What You Bring to the Table
This role is built for experienced inspectors who know their craft and want to use it.
You likely have:
- 3–5+ years of hands-on inspection experience in aerospace, medical device, or high-precision manufacturing
- Strong working knowledge of AS9100 / ISO 9001 quality systems
- Advanced understanding of GD&T — not just basic print reading
- Confidence interpreting complex engineering drawings and specifications
- Experience working within an ERP system (SAP strongly preferred)
Your Technical Toolkit
You don't guess. You measure.
You're proficient with:
Micrometers
Calipers
Height Gauges
Optical Comparators
Thread & Ring Gauges
Bore Gauges
Surface Plates
Instant Measurement Systems
If you've trained others on proper measurement setup — even better.
Bonus Points (Not Required, But Impressive)
Delegated Inspection Certification
Quality Control Certification
Technical coursework in Metrology or Manufacturing
These aren't required — but they show you're serious about your craft.

If you want a place to coast — this isn't it. If you want to build a respected career in aerospace quality — we should talk
