Aalo Atomics
Quality Inspector
You'll be the on the floor guardian of dimensional accuracy, material traceability, and code compliance for components used in our modular reactor systems. This role blends hands on inspection on the production floor with rigorous documentation, supplier/material verification, and internal audits against ASME NQA1 and applicable ASME code requirements. You'll partner with Manufacturing, Welding, and Supply Chain to prevent escapes and drive rapid, engineering first problem solving. General
Conduct assigned tests or inspections in accordance with documented procedures or instructions to include inspection of workmanship standards. Document results of tests or inspections. Identify and report non-conforming conditions Witness personnel perform work, test, or inspection activities when required by documents or instructions. Maintain complete and accurate records and documentation. Perform other duties as assigned. Work with Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, and Operations staff implementing process reporting. Work with Production with areas where process improvements can be made. Incoming Material & Traceability
Receive and review raw material certifications (CMTR/MTRs); verify heat/lot traceability against PO, drawing, and code requirements. Perform receiving inspections; quarantine, document, and route nonconformances. Build/maintain inspection plans and travelers for incoming material. Dimensional & Visual Inspection (Production Floor)
Perform process and final dimensional inspections on machined/fabricated parts using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, pin/thread gauges, and CMM/vision systems when needed; Will inspect to drawing/document dimensions/tolerances. Create clear inspection records and first article reports; analyze data and escalate risks. Conduct visual fit up and weld inspections; verify weld size/profile and adherence to drawing/weld symbols. Welding Quality Support
Verify WPS/PQR/PMI documentation and welder continuity/qualifications per ASME Section IX; witness or coordinate performance qualifications as needed. Verify Heat/Weld records and traceability are maintained. Auditing, QMS & Corrective Action
Participate in Aalo internal process audits and support supplier audits as requested. Lead or support NCR/CAPA, root cause analysis, and effective corrective/preventive actions. Partner with Manufacturing and Engineering on disposition (MRB) to protect safety and schedule. Metrology & Calibration
Maintain calibration status for gauges/fixtures; coordinate external calibration vendors and perform gage R&R studies. Care for precision instruments and CMM/vision systems; ensure measurement system capability for tight tolerance features. Documentation & Systems
Maintain accurate and completed test records. Qualifications
Required
Minimum education level: High school diploma or equivalent. Must have a working knowledge of Word, and Excel. Good verbal and written communication skills. Physically capable of performing test and inspection activities, including visual acuity and color vision. 3+ years of quality inspection/testing in precision manufacturing or heavy fabrication (nuclear, aerospace, energy, or similar). Read and understand procedures, test documents, layout drawings. Strong print reading and GD&T (ASME Y14.5) with hands on dimensional metrology (micrometers, calipers, height gauges; CMM/vision systems exposure). Experience reviewing CMTR/MTRs and controlling heat/lot traceability. Working knowledge of ASME NQA1 quality systems and ASME BPVC Section IX (welder/procedure qualifications); experience participating in internal audits. Proficient documentation, working knowledge of Word and Excel, NCR writing, and use of sampling plans/SPC; comfortable on the production floor. Preferred
AWS CWI (or equivalent) and/or NDE Level II (VT/PT/MT). CMM/vision programming (e.g., PCDMIS or similar) and gage R&R experience. Background in NQA-1, ISO 9001, or ASME compliant environments; supplier audit support. ASQ certification (CQT, CQI) or accredited internal auditor training. Physical
Standing/walking on the shop floor for extended periods (up to 810 hrs./day). Lifting, carrying, and positioning parts up to 40 lb.; bending/stooping as needed. Fine motor control for precision measurement; routine PPE (safety shoes, glasses, hearing protection). Physically capable of performing test and inspection activities, including visual acuity and color vision.
