We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.
Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we're very excited for the impact we'll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and more!
Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career.
As a Quality Inspector, you will be tasked with the challenge of analyzing and inspecting precision machined parts here at Astranis.

Follow work orders to document part manufacturing and inspection processes, including part marking and traceability.
Conduct precision tooling calibrations on a scheduled basis.
Create issue tickets and templates for nonconforming hardware and work with engineering to ensure speedy resolution, including performing containment of other discrepant hardware as needed.
Work with machinists to improve the machining process for more accurate part manufacturing.
Work with the inventory team to follow the process for incoming quality control of machined components.
Partner with engineering to develop new processes such as fabrication or cleaning, to ensure the right quality controls are built-in from the start.
Maintain a system for tracking metrology and manage the on-time calibration of tools across the entire factory.
Give feedback via reports and graphics on part tolerance and measured values.
Set up and maintain a request/priority system for inspections, tool calibration, etc. to keep the business informed of status, progress, and blockers.
Conduct regular quality reviews to communicate performance, challenges, and opportunities to improve for both internal machine shop and suppliers.
Requirements

Quality Inspector, Machining
Quality Technician Job 48 miles from Salida
As a team, we've launched five satellites into orbit, signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $750 million from top global investors, and recruited a team of over 400 world-class engineers. We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.
Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we're very excited for the impact we'll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and more!
Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career.
As a Quality Inspector, you will be tasked with the challenge of analyzing and inspecting precision machined parts here at Astranis. Astranis is producing some of the most capable and compact geostationary satellites ever flown, which demand complex geometry and tight tolerances to achieve the mission performance and life targets. If you are ready to take precision to the next level, this job is for you!
This role will be a dedicated quality person in the machining and development operations group, and will work closely with the head of machining to ensure the highest quality controls for parts made both internally and externally, as well as performing key measurements on the satellite and owning quality processes across the business. The ideal candidate has extensive precision/dimensional inspection experience using an array of tools both manual and automated, can maintain quality processes, and can effectively check all required measurements.

Inspect all mechanical parts built in the Astranis machine shop and at various suppliers, for both flight and development use, and ensure zero quality escapes to the production line.
Program and operate the CMM and Faro measurement equipment for both component inspection and satellite integration-level measurements.
Follow work orders to document part manufacturing and inspection processes, including part marking and traceability.
Conduct precision tooling calibrations on a scheduled basis.
Create issue tickets and templates for nonconforming hardware and work with engineering to ensure speedy resolution, including performing containment of other discrepant hardware as needed.
Work with machinists to improve the machining process for more accurate part manufacturing.
Work with the inventory team to follow the process for incoming quality control of machined components.
Partner with engineering to develop new processes such as fabrication or cleaning, to ensure the right quality controls are built-in from the start.
Maintain a system for tracking metrology and manage the on-time calibration of tools across the entire factory.
Give feedback via reports and graphics on part tolerance and measured values.
Set up and maintain a request/priority system for inspections, tool calibration, etc. to keep the business informed of status, progress, and blockers.
Conduct regular quality reviews to communicate performance, challenges, and opportunities to improve for both internal machine shop and suppliers.
Requirements
2+ years in a quality inspector/CMM programmer role focused on precision/dimensional inspection of machined parts.
2+ years experience reading and manipulating CAD models and engineering drawings including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) language.
2+ years programming and operating Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM).
Proficient with all measurement tools required to inspect machined hardware, such as calipers, micrometers, pins, and other gauges.
Fast-paced, self-directed, and able to execute with minimal direction.
