The Work

  • Assess cosmetic defects in manufacturing and assembly work, and document whether findings should be accepted or rejected.
  • Conduct virtual surveys and provide input on hull and marine structures using supplied documentation and data.
  • Analyze web and line inspection information to identify quality trends and support source-inspection recommendations.
  • Apply DCMA protocols and FAR Part 46 requirements to simulated Government Source Inspection scenarios.
  • Deliver concise feedback on inspection findings and produce reports and datasets that record expert judgments.

  • Work location: Remote, with eligibility limited to the countries listed in the application.
  • Language: English.
  • Experience: At least 8 years conducting complex quality inspections.
  • Required knowledge: AS9102 First Article standards, DCMA inspection criteria, and FAR Part 46 requirements.
  • Required skills: First article, cosmetic, or production-line disposition decisions; strong written and verbal communication; digital documentation and reporting; remote collaboration tools.
