Composite Inspector - 1st Shift

Safran Aerospace Composites•Rochester, NH

1d•$22 - $26•Onsite

About The Position

Safran Aerospace Composites is dedicated to the production of 3D woven composite parts using the RTM (resin transfer molding) process. The first application of this technology is the production of blades and fan cases for the LEAP engine, developed by CFM International, designed to power the next generation of single-aisle aircraft. This technology creates less noise and decreases fuel consumption for aircraft engines, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We do this with energy, passion, and curiosity, and we're backed by our rich heritage and culture of innovation. CFM International is a 50/50 joint company between Safran Aircraft Engines and GE. The role of Composite Inspector will require inspecting and testing composite aerospace parts for conformance to applicable specifications at various stages of the production process. Work will be accomplished using precision measuring and testing equipment, such as a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). This position reports to the NDT & Inspection Supervisor and also works closely with the CMM Engineer and the Quality Department. This position is for first shift, Monday - Thursday, 5:15am - 3:15pm.
