Zusammenfassung

Twentyfour Industries seeks a hands-on Hardware Quality Engineer to strengthen the quality and maturity of our mechanical and electrical hardware development. This role is embedded within Hardware and focuses on engineering-driven quality rather than production processes.

You will drive DFMEA, root-cause investigations, and design controls from prototype through release, working with prototypes, assemblies, and failure analysis to ensure robust hardware before formal testing and release.

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years in hardware development, hardware quality, product assurance, or reliability engineering.
• Strong depth in mechanical or electrical/electronic hardware.
• Broad understanding of complex electro-mechanical products.
• Experience with design reviews, DFMEA, root-cause analysis, and engineering change control.

Aufgaben

• 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.

Jobbeschreibung

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 verificati on

You should apply if you

• 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

What we offer

• Real impact & ownership: Shape high-tech defense systems and take responsibility from day one.
• Mission-driven environment: Work on technologies that matter for European security and sovereignty.
• Competitive package: Competitive salary, EGYM Wellpass , corporate benefits, and equity options aligned with role and level.
• Deep tech environment: Get hands-on experience withcutting-edgedrone technology and real operational use cases.
• Grow fast: Steep learning curve for juniors, strategicinfluenceand leadership opportunities for seniors.
• Startup mindset meets defence innovation: flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and space for your ideas.
• Flexibility: Flexible hours, remote options, and relocation support.
• Strong team: International, driven colleagues and a culture built on exchange, trust, and shared success.
