Vashti Bland

I’m a detail-oriented Level II NDT Inspector and Quality Analyst with over 3 years of aerospace quality assurance experience, specializing in visual analysis and defect identification. I’m known for maintaining strict quality and compliance standards while delivering accurate, well-documented inspection results.

In my current Quality Analyst role, I manage incoming materials during inspection and use SAP to track inventory and initiate corrective actions when discrepancies appear. I also review and validate welding and fabrication processes and interpret NAVSEA technical manuals to ensure compliance with military functional requirements and performance standards (MIL-STD and NAVSEA).

Previously as a Level II NDT Visual Inspector, I conducted inspections of aerospace components using calipers, micrometers, and CMM to verify dimensions and tolerances. I prepared detailed inspection reports, communicated non-conformities to engineering and production teams, and helped resolve defects through corrective actions—while even leading training for new hires in high-volume environments.
