Quality Engineer at Spacekinetic · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We are seeking a Quality Engineer to help ensure the successful development, integration, and delivery of spacecraft and flight hardware as well as build and scale our Quality Management System (QMS). This role serves as a technical partner throughout the product lifecycle, helping engineers design quality into our products rather than inspecting it after the fact. This role will support the implementation and certification of our first manufacturing process to AS9100 standards while working side-by-side with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Operations. As we transition from building our first flight hardware to producing many vehicles, this engineer will own quality for one of our major space programs, driving the systems, processes, and standards needed to ensure every product is built to meet the demands of spaceflight. Success in this role means helping Space Kinetic move from proving we can build one exceptional vehicle to reliably produce many with consistent quality, repeatability, and mission readiness.
Job Responsibilities:
Partner with mechanical, electrical, systems, manufacturing, and test engineers throughout the product lifecycle to ensure quality is designed into products from concept through flight.
Develop product quality plans and inspection strategies for spacecraft hardware and assemblies.
Review engineering drawings and technical documentation for manufacturability, inspectability, GD&T application, and quality requirements.
Develop and maintain inspection plans and acceptance criteria for components, assemblies, and integrated systems.
Facilitate Material Review Board (MRB) activities and disposition of nonconforming hardware.
Participate in hardware failure investigations and support implementation of corrective actions.
Witness manufacturing, integration, environmental, and functional testing to verify compliance with engineering requirements.
Support metrology activities including measurement planning, fixture validation, and measurement system analysis (MSA).
Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve technical quality issues.
Support supplier qualification and occasional supplier visits as required.
