By combining robotics, advanced metal forming, and automated production systems, we are redefining how parts move from prototype to full-scale production. Backed by Lockheed Martin, Toyota, and NVIDIA, we are building the manufacturing infrastructure powering the next generation of aerospace, defense, and advanced mobility systems. ## Role Overview Machina Labs is seeking a Quality Inspector to support and lead inspection activities for high-precision, flight-critical components. This role operates as a senior individual contributor on the production floor, responsible for executing inspections, owning quality outcomes, and driving process discipline. You will partner closely with manufacturing and engineering to ensure quality is built into the process, not just inspected at the end. ## Key Responsibilities Own and execute receiving, in-process, first article, and final inspections to ensure compliance with engineering specifications, GD&T, and customer requirements. Perform inspection activities using precision measurement tools and advanced inspection methods (calipers, height gages, scanners, portable CMMs as applicable). Maintain accurate, audit-ready documentation and full traceability within MES/ERP systems. Identify, document, and support resolution of nonconformances, including MRB participation and corrective action follow-through. Ensure measurement system integrity, including calibration tracking and removal of out-of-tolerance equipment. Proactively identify quality risks on the shop floor and partner cross-functionally to drive timely resolution. Act as a subject matter expert in inspection methods, supporting standardization and best practices. Mentor and support junior inspectors, reinforcing quality standards an
