Seeking a highly skilled and experienced Product Quality Assurance Engineer to immediately join a Munich team in conducting a number of PA and QA tasks on Space-bound hardware.
What You'll Be Doing:
As a Quality Assurance Engineer, you'll be instrumental in upholding stringent quality standards throughout our product lifecycle. Your responsibilities will include:
* Developing, implementing, and enforcing comprehensive QA plans and procedures to ensure strict adherence to industry benchmarks like ECSS, NASA, ISO 9001, and other relevant space industry standards, from design through testing.
* Leading critical-items control, nonconformance management, and alert systems, alongside spearheading and supporting quality audits, inspections, and assessments in collaboration with customer representatives.
* Managing calibration, metrology systems, and supervising cleanliness and contamination control in ESD-Safe and cleanroom environments.
* Conducting thorough failure investigations, root cause analyses (RCA), and implementing effective corrective/preventive actions (CAPA).
* Collaborating closely with engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to seamlessly integrate quality requirements, and actively participating in risk management activities like FMEA.
* Leading and contributing to critical reviews such as Design Reviews, Manufacturing Readiness Reviews (MRR), and Test Readiness Reviews (TRR).
* Coordinating the meticulous preparation of End Item Data Packages (EIDPs) and Certificates of Conformity (CoC) for delivery reviews, and driving continuous improvement initiatives using Lean and Six Sigma methodologies.
To be successful in this role, you must possess:
* A technical degree in Engineering, Quality Management, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent qualification, with a minimum of 3–5 years of hands-on quality assurance experience in Satellite, or Space systems manufacturing.
* Strong knowledge of quality management systems (QMS), regulatory requirements, and key industry standards (e.g., ECSS, NASA, ISO 9001, AS9100), along with practical experience with essential quality tools such as FMEA, 8D, Six Sigma, SPC, and Root Cause Analysis.
* Proficiency in quality auditing, supplier quality management, and materials reliability testing specifically for space environments, and familiarity with space qualification and acceptance testing (including outgassing, radiation hardness, and mechanical stress tests).
* An exceptionally organized and structured approach to working in laboratories and clean rooms, with a proactive attitude towards problem-solving while consistently safeguarding high-quality standards.
* Fluent English and excellent communication skills (both written and verbal) to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
* Strong documentation and reporting skills, ensuring meticulous traceability and compliance with space industry requirements; experience with configuration management tools is a plus. A robust understanding of quality control systems, non-conformance handling, and verification procedures is also crucial.
* Experience with statistical analysis tools and quality control software (e.g., Minitab, MATLAB, or Python for data analysis).
* Certifications such as Six Sigma Green/Black Belt, Lead Auditor (ISO 9001/AS9100), or CQE (Certified Quality Engineer) are highly preferred.
