Full job description
Vast is developing next-generation space stations and space infrastructure using an incremental, hardware-rich, and low-cost approach. Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules. Additionally, the company recently announced Vast Satellite, a high-power satellite product line leveraging its space station components and the heritage of Haven Demo.
Headquartered in Long Beach, California, and with more than 1,000 employees and over a billion dollars in private capital, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats and systems for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.
Vast is looking for a Quality/Receiving Inspector (1st and 2nd Shift), reporting to the Manager, Quality, to support the development and production of hardware for our human-rated space systems. This will be a full-time, non-exempt position located at our Long Beach facility.

Accurately document inspection results and maintain required quality and traceability records.
Support First Article Inspections (FAI) and other inspection activities as required.
Maintain inspection equipment and ensure tools are within calibration requirements prior to use.
Maintain a clean and organized work environment while adhering to FOD control, contamination prevention, and applicable safety requirements.
Communicate inspection status, quality concerns, and production risks to supervisors and cross-functional stakeholders.

Experience working in a fast-paced production or hardware development environment.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to make sound inspection decisions with limited supervision.

Willingness to work evenings, overtime, and/or weekends to support critical production and mission milestones.
Must be able to pass a background check and gain access to government facilities as required.
