  • Ensure all test hardware, installation, instrumentation, and configuration meet approved engineering drawings and conformity requirements.
  • Support coordination with FAA Designated Airworthiness Representatives (DARs) and internal certification staff for timely conformity approvals.
  • Review manufacturing and material documentation for compliance, including traceability, lot control, and proper certification (e.g., CoC, FAIR).
  • Inspect and verify assembly procedures, part markings, and hardware configurations used in structural test rigs and fixtures.
  • Maintain accurate and organized inspection records, logs, and conformity documentation.
  • Identify and report non-conformances, support root cause investigations, and assist in implementing corrective actions.
  • Assist in audits and reviews to support FAA compliance and AS9100/ISO9001 quality system requirements.
  • Provide input to improve internal processes for test article tracking, inspection, and certification readiness.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of experience in aerospace quality inspection roles, ideally within a test or R&D environment.
  • Demonstrated experience completing FAA Form conformity inspections on behalf of an OEM.
  • Working knowledge of FAA Part 23 regulations and aircraft certification processes.
  • Proficient in interpreting engineering drawings, test plans, and assembly procedures.
  • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, certification, and manufacturing teams.
  • U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency required (per ITAR and FAA access requirements).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience working with business jet or general aviation airframes under Part 23 certification programs.
  • Strong understanding of full-scale structural and fatigue testing in a development/certification setting.
  • Prior experience with full-scale test programs (wing, fuselage, empennage).
  • Exposure to NDT, instrumentation inspection, or fatigue crack detection techniques.
  • Experience interfacing directly with FAA ACO or CM Section (formally MIDO) personnel and/or its designees.
  • Familiarity with digital quality management systems and inspection documentation tools.

Physical Requirements:

  • Ability to work in and around large test fixtures and structural rigs.
  • Standing, climbing, and occasional lifting (up to 40 lbs) may be required.
  • Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in lab/hangar environments.
