This role performs preliminary, hidden damage, in-process and final inspections; performs receiving inspections approving or rejecting incoming materials through established receiving inspection processes while recording quality inspection results; is required to work with inspection tools, aids and devices to resolve tolerances and specification limits; and is responsible for performing detailed inspections of parts, materials, paint, backshop activities, functional tests, operational test and dimensional inspections to of aircraft, systems and components to determine airworthiness. Primary responsibilities include: Inspection: 60% Perform required technical inspections to receive or reject incoming material, airframes, aircraft components and to detect/report suspected unapproved parts Perform in-process inspections for components in electrical backshops, manufacturing, composites, MRO and paint shop to judge the serviceability or rejection of manufactured parts, electrical components, and paint Perform detailed inspections of manufactured components such dimensional checks and acoustic tap testing Inspect aircraft aluminum, titanium or steel structures for cracks, corrosion, damage and improper assembly. Resolve accurate shimming and joining of structures with rivets or other hardware in design drawings, engineering disposition, and other approved data Detect hidden damage during inspections of airframe structures, components and sub-assemblies that could occur during shipping, receiving, or manufacturing Verify build of aircraft system wiring harnesses, connectors and electrical terminations as per design drawings Physically and systematically quarantine non-conforming components and assemblies identified during inspections Supervise the use of Measuring and Test Equipment to ensure it is well maintained and current relative to its calibration cycle Perform stock inspections/purges when advised of possible non-conforming/suspected unapproved material Evaluate and disposition sales returns Select product samples and check them using appropriate methods (measuring dimensions, testing functionality, comparing to specifications etc.) to validate conformity to approved drawings and manuals Accomplish in-process and final quality inspections for conformity, maintenance, repair, modification, rework and overhaul of aircraft components and sub-assemblies Perform conformity inspections for Supplemental Type Certificated (STC) development projects, parts manufacturer approval (PMA) parts, structural and electrical components Inspect multiple airframe components to determine proper fit, form and function of the components Validate disposition of parts or repaired parts routed to shop floor, from warehouse, internal shops and suppliers for conformity and serviceability in accordance with approved data Qualify dynamic component parts applying visual inspection and precision measurement methods. Observe and validate instrument connections, functional or operational tests, adjustments of aircraft radios, navigational systems and flight control systems and instruments to ensure they meet required specifications Ensure compliance with all applicable calendar/hourly inspections, life limited or cycle limited components, airworthiness directives and alert service bulletins Verification of testing for emergency locator transmitters (ELT), Transponders, Altimeters, Airspeed Indicators and Air Data Computers in accordance with Title 14 CFR Parts 91, 135 and 43 Documentation: 30% Ensure proper tagging, identification and airworthiness of parts released to Airframe, Engines, and Accessories Compare quantity, part number, and serial number of items received with procurement data, purchase orders and other specifications to ensure accuracy and completeness Create, distribute, track in SAP and disposition the monthly Shelf Life Expiration Date (SLED) report as directed Create NCM's for non-conforming material detected and coordinate with Quality Engineers on non-conformity resolution Ensure all materials have required documentation (i.e. 8130-3, EASA Form, Certificate of Conformance) Process Goods Receipts during receiving of material Document applicable maintenance actions for airframe, engine, accessories and components in accordance with FAA and EASA approved regulations and company procedures.
