Job DescriptionDescription:Join Align Aerospace as an Aerospace Accuracy Expert: Final InspectorWhere Precision Meets Purpose
At Align Aerospace, you’ll be the final checkpoint before our precision fasteners — nuts, bolts, electrical connectors, and more — are cleared for takeoff. If you're driven by detail and fueled by purpose, we’ve got your seat ready.
Your Mission
Be the expert who signs off on safety. 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.
Your Station
Your own precision inspection station, right where the action happens. Our warehouse is warm in the summer and always buzzing. It’s hands-on, tool-forward work that rewards focus, skill, and stamina. If you like to get in the zone and at a fast space, this is your runway.
Your Tools
You won’t be guessing — you’ll be gauging. From calipers and micrometers to comparators and ring gauges, you’ll use top-tier tools to make precise calls that matter.
What Makes This Job Awesome?
- Your Expertise Matters – The parts you inspect power aerospace safety and performance
- Hands-On Training – Master our tools, parts, and systems with support from day one
- Career Growth – Advance into lead or delegated inspector roles — your path is built in

You’ll Be
- Handling First Article Inspections (FAIs) and dimensional checks that ensure our aerospace fasteners are launch-ready
- Verifying nuts, bolts, connectors, and components against blueprints, customer specs, and contract requirements
- Decoding engineering blueprints/drawings and applying GD&T with confidence to ensure every detail is spot-on
- Reviewing supplier certs, test reports, and quality documents with a sharp, investigative mindset
- Logging inspection results and NCRs into SAP, keeping our data clean and audit-ready
- Collaborating across teams –Sales, Customer Service, Customer/Supplier Quality teams, and Production – to prevent problems before they fly
- Mentoring new junior (inbound) inspectors, sharing your technical know-how and raising the bar for the whole crew
