## About the role

That only works if the hardware meets design intent. Right now, we have the inspection capability to check parts. What we don't have is the system that makes inspection credible, repeatable, and scalable. That's what this role exists to build.

## What they're looking for

- Define how parts get inspected — from receiving through in-process checks to final inspection — and build the processes that make it repeatable
- Develop the inspection report format, traceability framework, and nonconformance workflow that the quality system runs on
- Work directly with our inspection team to establish standards for how inspection programs are built, documented, and handed off
- Identify gaps in our current inspection capability, spec the equipment needed to close them, and make the business case to procure it
- Establish how we handle parts that leave for outside processing — heat treat, coating — and what gets verified when they come back
- Build toward AS9100 compliance from day one — architecting processes today that don't need to be rebuilt later
