We’re looking for someone with experience inspecting machined components who understands tight tolerances, knows their way around precision measurement equipment, and takes pride in getting the details right.

• 12 paid company holidays — including your birthday!
• Medical, dental, vision, disability coverage & more
• 401(k) with up to 4% company match

At PacAero, we work hard, have fun, and get stuff done. We believe culture matters — from recognizing great work and celebrating wins to creating a place where people enjoy coming to work and feel like part of the team.

What You’ll Do

As a QC Inspector, you’ll perform dimensional and visual inspections of precision machined components using engineering drawings, specifications and applicable quality requirements. You’ll use a variety of precision measurement and inspection equipment to verify parts meet dimensional, geometric and workmanship requirements.

You’ll work closely with Machining, Quality and Engineering to identify and communicate issues, support root-cause investigation and keep quality parts moving through production.

What We’re Looking For

Previous experience inspecting precision machined components in a manufacturing environment is required. You should be comfortable reading engineering drawings, interpreting dimensions and tolerances, and using precision measurement equipment such as micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators and other inspection tools.

Experience with GD&T and CMM inspection is highly valued. Aerospace, defense or other high-precision manufacturing experience is a plus.

If you have a strong eye for detail, understand what quality looks like and aren’t afraid to speak up when something doesn’t look right, we want to hear from you.
