Quality Control Inspector

If it isn''t right, it isn''t going in.
That''s the job in one line. You''re the checkpoint between a supplier''s delivery and a UK defence programme, and you''ve got the final say.

I''m recruiting for a specialist UK defence electronics business. They''re adding a QC Inspector to a tight quality team. It''s small enough that your work gets noticed, and serious enough that it matters.
What you''ll be doing

• Inspecting incoming goods, components and materials against drawings, specs and purchase orders
• Carrying out stage and final inspection on PCBAs, electronic assemblies and sub-assemblies
• Running visual and dimensional checks with verniers, micrometers, gauges and electronic test kit
• Checking certs, paperwork and traceability so nothing slips through undocumented
• Raising non-conformances and working with suppliers, Engineering and Quality to fix root causes
• Keeping inspection records accurate and systems up to date
• Pitching in on stores, stock control and continuous improvement when needed

• Goods-in and production inspection experience in a manufacturing environment
• Defence and electronics experience
• Confidence reading engineering drawings, wiring diagrams and technical documentation
• Hands-on use of mechanical and electronic measuring equipment
• A methodical, detail-obsessed approach and solid record-keeping
• Good communication skills and an easy way of working across teams

• IPC-A-610 and/or IPC-A-620 trained
• SC clearance already in place

• Real ownership in a small quality team, not a cog in a 40-person department
• Work on defence electronics that actually ships and actually matters
• SC clearance sponsored if you don''t already hold it
