Quality Inspector B

Inspect, test, sort, sample, or weigh non-aerostat raw materials or processed, machined, fabricated, or assembled parts or products for defects, wear, and deviations from specifications; evaluates documentation, performs laboratory procedures, measures process performance, records data and prepares reports.
