Job Description

Company DescriptionFort Walton Machining, Inc. was formed in 1987 as a specialized custom manufacturing operation, specifically to service Eglin Air Force Base and its prime contractors. It began as a small cell with only two employees, but its mission-even then, as it remains today-was to provide highly technical, precision machining with zero defects, delivered on time, and to the complete satisfaction of its customers.Commitment to that mission quickly earned the company a reputation for "walking the walk," not just "talking the talk." As evidence of this, Fort Walton Machining became a certified "Dock to Stock" supplier for one of its major customers as early as 1991.Certified to AS9100 Quality Standards, as well as government and military standards such as MIL-I-45208A, the company played a significant role in the Air Force AMRAAM project from 1991 to 1993. The long-term vision was always to expand into commercial markets while continuing to serve the military and its prime contractors.In early 1995, the company formed a business alliance with a major corporation in the medical industry, which led to additional business opportunities with partners in the British Isles and Japan. As a result of these diverse experiences, Fort Walton Machining has grown into an international service company, capable of supporting customers around the world.Job DescriptionJob Title: Quality InspectorSummary: Tests and inspects products at various stages of production process, compiles and evaluates statistical data to determine and maintain quality and reliability of products.Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following.
