Quality Specialist, Rocket Motor Systems

3+ years of experience in a quality role within aerospace, defense, munitions, or similarly regulated manufacturing environment.

Hands-on experience with calibrated measurement equipment -- calipers, micrometers, height gauges, pin gauges, CMM, optical comparators, or equivalent -- and the ability to perform accurate dimensional inspections on machined, cast, or composite components.

Ability to read, interpret, and inspect to engineering drawings, including application of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5.

Experience with nonconformance documentation, containment procedures, and Material Review Board (MRB) processes in a production environment.

Working knowledge of AS9100, ISO 9001, or equivalent quality management system requirements, including familiarity with internal audit principles and procedures.

Experience with nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods such as radiographic inspection, ultrasonic testing, or visual inspection standards used in aerospace hardware acceptance.

As a Quality Specialist for Rocket Motor Systems, you will be the boots on the ground at our McHenry, Mississippi facility -- the quality team's daily presence on the production floor.

You will work alongside manufacturing operations to ensure that solid rocket motor hardware is built right, inspected right, and that when something goes wrong, it is contained and corrected before it moves downstream.

This role combines hands-on inspection, internal auditing, nonconformance management, and the situational awareness to identify safety and quality risks proactively in an energetics manufacturing environment.

You are not sitting at a desk reviewing reports -- you are walking the floor, watching the process, talking to operators, and making sure the quality system works where it matters most: at the point of manufacture.

Provide daily shop floor quality support to manufacturing operations, serving as the accessible, on-the-ground quality resource for operators, technicians, and production supervisors -- answering questions, clarifying work instruction requirements, and helping resolve quality issues in real time before they become escapes.

Manage product containment activities when nonconforming material or process deviations are identified, ensuring suspect product is physically segregated, clearly identified, and controlled until disposition is complete -- preventing nonconforming hardware from advancing through subsequent manufacturing operations.
