Job Overview
Are you a detail-driven quality professional who wants to do more than check boxes? At Paragon, our Quality Inspectors work on precision components for some of the most demanding programs in aerospace and defense — the kind of work where your eye for accuracy genuinely matters.
We’re growing, and we’re looking for a mid-level Quality Inspector to join a collaborative team that takes pride in getting it right.
What you’ll do:

- 3–5 years of experience in a precision manufacturing environment (aerospace or defense experience strongly preferred)
- Proficiency with GD&T and precision measurement equipment
- PC-DMIS and/or PolyWorks experience preferred
- Strong communicator who can work across teams
- A two-year degree in Engineering Technology or equivalent hands-on experience will be considered
Why Paragon:
We work on interesting, technically challenging programs — and we invest in the people doing that work. You’ll join a team that collaborates closely, holds each other to a high standard, and supports your growth over the long haul. This isn’t a transactional job; it’s a place to build a career.
