Job Description

We’re at the forefront of space exploration and satellite technology, designing cutting-edge electronics that push the boundaries of what’s possible in space. Our team of innovators is passionate about solving the toughest challenges in space and advancing humanity's presence in the final frontier. We’re looking for a Senior Quality Engineer to help us maintain and enhance the quality of our products, ensuring they meet the rigorous demands of space missions.


Role Overview: As a Senior Quality Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development, testing, and delivery of high-performance electronics that must withstand the extreme environments of space. You’ll be responsible for leading quality assurance efforts across multiple projects, driving process improvements, and ensuring our products meet the highest standards of reliability, safety, and compliance.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead quality assurance and control activities across all phases of product development, from design to manufacturing and testing.
  • Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and design teams to identify and resolve quality issues.
  • Develop, implement, and maintain quality management systems (QMS) and processes in compliance with aerospace industry standards (e.g., AS9100, ISO 9001).
  • Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for any non-conformance or defects.
  • Perform rigorous testing and validation of electronic components to ensure performance in harsh space environments.
  • Manage product qualification processes, including environmental and stress testing, reliability testing, and qualification to space-specific standards (e.g., MIL-STD, NASA standards).
  • Review and approve supplier quality documentation, and ensure supplier parts meet stringent specifications.
  • Provide mentorship and leadership to junior quality engineers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and excellence in quality.
  • Stay up to date with industry trends, regulations, and best practices in aerospace and space electronics quality assurance.


Qualifications:

  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in quality engineering, with at least 3 years in the aerospace or space electronics industry.
  • Deep knowledge of aerospace quality standards (e.g., AS9100, ISO 9001) and quality control methodologies (e.g., Six Sigma, Lean).
  • Strong experience with space-specific testing methods, such as thermal vacuum, vibration, and radiation testing.
  • Familiarity with electronic design, PCB manufacturing, and testing techniques for high-reliability components.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams to solve complex technical problems.
  • Proven track record of leading quality initiatives and process improvements.
  • Exceptional analytical skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues and drive root cause resolution.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical information clearly.


What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Opportunity to work on groundbreaking space technologies that make a real impact.
