Aerospace Dimensional Inspector

Job Description

Job DescriptionStep into a Day in Precision

At 5:00 AM, you step onto the shop floor in Orange County, CA. Complex 5-axis parts are queued, travelers are ready, and your gauges are calibrated. You move from a first-piece in-process check to a receiving spot check, then wrap the morning validating features against drawings with GD&T callouts. By afternoon, you’re supporting a teammate with a casting visual and logging AS9100-compliant records. It’s hands-on, fast-paced, and deeply rewarding.

About the Role

• Employment type: Direct Hire
• Location: Orange County, CA
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 5:00 AM start; Saturdays required most weeks (6–8 hours)

What You’ll Handle

• Conduct dimensional and visual inspections on machined parts, castings, and forgings produced in a complex 5-axis environment
• Interpret engineering drawings and validate features per GD&T requirements
• Operate and maintain precision hand tools: height gauges, calipers, micrometers, drop gauges, and optical measuring devices
• Support in-process, receiving, and other inspection areas as workload shifts

Your Background

• 3–5+ years of inspection experience within aerospace or defense machining
• Advanced drawing interpretation and GD&T fluency

• Ability and willingness to work required Saturdays
