About VetPowered:

VetPowered, LLC, named Veteran Owned Small Business of the Year in the United States, is a rapidly growing San Diego-based corporation specializing in manufacturing, welding, fabrication, machinery repair, and customized training under private and U.S. Government contracts. VetPowered employs a highly trained workforce that uses advanced CNC equipment. VetPowered is dedicated to bringing advanced manufacturing back to America.

Key Job Functions:

At VetPowered, the Quality Inspector plays a critical role in ensuring that manufactured components and assemblies meet customer specifications, aerospace quality standards, and internal inspection requirements. This role performs detailed inspections of machined parts, fabricated parts, and assemblies; programs and operates Zeiss coordinate measuring machines; supports first article inspections; and maintains accurate quality documentation in accordance with AS9100 requirements.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Inspection and Verification

Perform detailed inspections of machined components, fabricated parts, and assemblies using precision measuring tools.
Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, tolerances, and GD&T callouts to verify dimensional accuracy and compliance.
Conduct incoming, in-process, first article, and final inspections on manufactured components.
Verify product conformity with customer requirements, purchase orders, routers, work instructions, and documented acceptance criteria.

First Article Inspections

Coordinate and perform first article inspections in accordance with AS9102 requirements.
Compile and review inspection data, ballooned drawings, dimensional results, material certifications, and supporting documentation.
Review first article inspection packages for accuracy, completeness, and traceability before submission or internal approval.

Measurement and Equipment

Use precision measuring equipment, including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, indicators, bore gauges, thread gauges, pin gauges, surface plates, and Zeiss coordinate measuring machines using Calypso 2025 software.
Program, edit, and prove out inspection programs in Calypso 2025 for new and existing parts, including part alignment, probe selection and qualification, fixturing, and feature and GD&T evaluation. Training on Calypso is available for candidates experienced on other CMM platforms.
Develop CMM programs from engineering drawings and CAD models, and verify program results against drawing requirements before release to production.
Operate Zeiss CMM equipment, run inspection programs, and troubleshoot program and measurement issues as they arise.
Maintain revision control and documentation for CMM programs so that each program matches the current drawing revision.
Maintain inspection equipment properly and support compliance with calibration requirements for measuring tools and devices.

Documentation and Reporting

Maintain accurate, complete, legible, and traceable inspection records for internal quality systems and customer requirements.
Document nonconforming material and communicate findings to production and quality leadership.
Assist with inspection reports, first article records, nonconformance documentation, and other quality records.
Enter and maintain inspection records, nonconformance information, and related quality documentation in JobBOSS and UniPoint.

Collaboration with Manufacturing

Work closely with machinists, fabricators, manufacturing personnel, and quality leadership to resolve quality issues and improve product quality.
Provide guidance to production personnel regarding quality standards, inspection requirements, and documentation expectations.
Communicate inspection delays, unclear requirements, missing documentation, and nonconforming product promptly.

Continuous Improvement and Quality System Support

Identify trends in inspection results and support root cause investigations and corrective action activity.
Support internal, customer, and certification audits by providing accurate inspection records and objective evidence.
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives that improve product quality, inspection flow, documentation accuracy, and operational efficiency.
Perform other duties as required in support of the department and company goals.

Experience with Zeiss CMM equipment and Calypso software strongly preferred; candidates with programming experience on other CMM platforms such as PC-DMIS, MCOSMOS, or CMM-Manager will be considered, with the expectation of becoming proficient in Calypso 2025.
Ability to develop and edit CMM inspection programs from engineering drawings and CAD models, including part alignment, probe qualification, and GD&T evaluation.
Strong understanding of blueprint reading and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
Experience conducting first article inspections and familiarity with AS9102 documentation requirements.
Experience working within an AS9100 quality system preferred.
