POSITION SUMMARY This person must be a naturalized USA citizen.
The Defense Quality Inspector is expected to earn a certification from our Customer in the Military Shipbuilding for the US Navy, through their certification program, in order for the inspector to process Sub safe/Nuclear contracts (Level One/ CM1). This is a 14-to-18-month internal training process through hands on experience and oversight, with feedback.
Once the inspector is tested and certified they will approve Level One/ CM1 PO's to the supplier, which requires reviewing the Customers requirements and coded notes on the Customer Contract (PO), then comparing that information on the Supplier PO to ensure that all requirements are being flowed down fully and correctly. Reviewing Customer requirements may involve reading several specifications, amendments and references to understand those requirements.
After the inspector is assigned an order, they will move the package (Hardware 'fasteners', Software 'paperwork) from inventory to their workstation to process. The inspector will review the Supplier Purchase Order issued to the supplier and compare it to the software package contents provided by the supplier. If there is a discrepancy the Inspector will review the Customer Contract in order to assess if the nonconformance is on the part of the supplier or internal (when the PO was first generated). The Quality Inspector will work with internal resources or the supplier to correct the software. Once the package is found complete and correct the inspector will inspect the product per an inspection plan. Some inspections may require 100% sampling. If the hardware is nonconforming the product will be put on hold. Once everything is determined in compliance, the inspector will send the product to shipping.
The role is on-site at our Roanoke, VA location.
