About The Position

As an Electrical Quality Inspector at Allen Control Systems (ACS), you are the final line of defense for the Bullfrog™ autonomous gun turret system. You will be responsible for ensuring that every wire harness and Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) meets the rigorous standards required for tactical edge defense hardware. This is not a "check-the-box" role; you are expected to provide real-time feedback to production and engineering to eliminate bottlenecks and prevent quality escapes.

Requirements

3+ years in quality inspection within a high-stakes electronics manufacturing environment (aerospace, defense, or robotics preferred).
Current or prior certification in IPC-A-610 and/or IPC/WHMA-A-620 is required.
Expert ability to read and interpret complex electrical schematics, wire run lists, and mechanical drawings.
Experience using ERP systems (Odoo highly preferred) for quality documentation and inventory management.
A "no-excuses" approach to quality. You must be comfortable making difficult "reject" calls to prioritize the mission and product reliability.

Nice To Haves

Experience establishing quality gatekeepers in a rapidly growing production environment.
High-reliability harnesses and circuit boards automated testing techniques
Practical experience applying quality improvements without unnecessary corporate bureaucracy.

Responsibilities

Perform detailed visual and mechanical inspections of complex wire harnesses and PCBAs to IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 standards.
Document inspection results, manage non-conforming material, and verify that all assemblies match the latest engineering revisions and BOMs.
Collaborate directly with Engineering and Production to identify the source of workmanship defects and implement immediate corrective actions.
Conduct "floor-side" audits of assembly techniques, including crimping, soldering, and component placement, to ensure quality is built-in from the start.
