Support Project Managers, Systems Engineers and Work Package Managers throughout the project lifecycle

Monitor quality metrics, cost of quality and programme performance

Present regular quality status reports directly to the CEO

Your Profile

Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering or similar

10+ years' Product Assurance experience within the European space industry

Strong experience with mechanical space hardware (not electronics-only)

Deep knowledge of ECSS and ESA Product Assurance standards

Experience with ISO 9001 (ISO 9100 advantageous)

Hands-on experience with FMEA, RAMS, audits and quality management tools

Proven leadership experience within Product Assurance or Quality teams

Please Note: This role is focused on mechanical space hardware Product Assurance.

Candidates whose experience is primarily in:

Electronics / EEE Product Assurance

are unlikely to be a match.

If you're ready to help deliver the next generation of European space hardware, we'd love to hear from you!
