## About the Role

* Experience: you bring 5+ years of experience in hardware development, hardware quality, product assurance, or reliability engineering
 * Technical depth: you have strong technical depth in either mechanical or electrical/electronic hardware
 * System understanding: you have a broad understanding of complex electro-mechanical products
 * Methodology: you're experienced with design reviews, DFMEA, root-cause analysis, and engineering change control
 * Working style: you're pragmatic and hands-on, comfortable working directly with prototypes, assemblies, and failed hardware
 * Education: you hold a degree in mechanical, electrical, electronics, mechatronics, aerospace engineering, or a related discipline

Nice to haves

 * Domain background: experience in UAVs, aerospace, defense, robotics, or automotive electronics
 * Evidence-based challenge: you can constructively challenge engineering decisions based on evidence, not hierarchy
 * High-reliability products: experience with medical devices, industrial automation, or other high-reliability electro-mechanical products

## Description

We're looking for a hands-on Hardware Quality Engineer to strengthen the quality and maturity of our mechanical and electrical hardware development. This is not a production-quality or QMS role, it's an engineering-focused quality position embedded within Hardware: someone who walks into the workshop and asks "why did this bracket crack?" rather than scheduling a meeting about a checklist. This is a role for a strong engineer in one discipline who can identify hardware risks early, drive root-cause investigations, and make sure hardware is mature before formal testing and release.
The day-to-day

 * Design assurance: support hardware design assurance from prototype through release
 * Technical review: review requirements, interfaces, design outputs, and technical evidence for completeness and robustness
 * Risk management: facilitate DFMEAs and ensure key risks are reflected in design controls and verification
 * Cross-domain integration: focus on hardware interfaces such as mechanical/electrical integration, connectors, grounding, and thermal interfaces
 * Root-cause investigation: coordinate structured root-cause investigations for hardware and integration failures, tracking corrective actions
 * Test readiness: work with Test and Flight Test to ensure hardware is ready for formal verification
