About The Position

This role focuses on aircraft airframe assembly inspection, structural verification, and quality assurance of fuselage, composite, and structural components. You will ensure all assemblies meet strict engineering, quality, and regulatory standards across multiple aircraft production stages. The work includes both cleanroom environment (initial barrel fabrication processes) and structural assembly environment (post-cleanroom operations). This is not a rework-only project; support is needed to resolve production and quality issues.
