Quality Inspector II - Laser Tracker

Responsibilities: Perform large-volume dimensional inspections on launch vehicle and spacecraft structures, components, and sub-assemblies using portable laser tracker and articulating arm systems (e.g., Leica AT960 Absolute Tracker, Hexagon Absolute Arm) and associated metrology software. Set up, level, and establish coordinate systems to perform tooling and fixture alignments, part-to-CAD comparisons, and best-fit alignments. Inspect complex flight hardware from drawing requirements utilizing a firm understanding of GD&T.Collaborate with quality specialists and engineers to develop and execute detailed inspection programs that assure adherence to design, specification, and testing requirements—ensuring all actions required for product acceptance are conducted accurately and efficiently. Generate clear, accurate inspection reports and dimensional analysis for engineering and manufacturing stakeholders. Document non-conformances in accordance with prescribed procedures and process as required. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to investigate and resolve non-conformances and quality issues, including development and implementation of robust corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Quarantine and process non-conforming product. Maintain tool control and calibration processes within the assigned work center.
