Job description

AboutUs:

Greenjets is an innovative engineering company developing high-performance propulsion systems for the aviation market. Our work spans research and development, engine production, aircraft systems, technical integration and flight testing. We are committed to delivering high-grade engineering and best-in-class propulsion for unmanned aircraft.

We do things differently. We move fast, we experiment and we adopt technologies that push beyond the current state of the art. Our aim is to go further, faster and more efficiently, while keeping costs competitive.

All our propulsion systems are designed, developed and manufactured in the UK. We focus on high quality, reliable and cost effective products supported by a robust, secure and ethical supply chain.

About the Job:

Working closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Supplier Quality and Customer teams, you will ensure that product quality requirements are clearly understood, effectively implemented and maintained throughout product execution.

This is an opportunity to take real ownership of product quality within a fast-moving engineering environment. Rather than simply inspecting quality into the finished product, you will help build quality into our designs, processes and decision-making from the outset.

What You'll Do:

• Support and influence product quality throughout the full lifecycle, including design, development, manufacturing and in-service support.

• Participate in design and manufacturing reviews, providing quality input and ensuring that potential risks are identified and addressed.

• Support DFMEA and PFMEA reviews, helping teams identify risks and implement effective controls.

• Create, implement and maintain Quality Control Plans, ensuring that appropriate inspection, verification and process controls are defined.

• Lead the management of product quality issues and facilitate Material Review Board meetings.

• Coordinate cross-functional problem-solving activities using structured methodologies such as 5 Why and Ishikawa fishbone analysis.

• Drive corrective and preventive actions, monitoring their implementation and verifying their effectiveness.

• Lead lessons-learned sessions and ensure that actions and improvements are communicated across relevant teams.

• Support wider quality assurance activities and contribute to the continued development of the Quality Management System.

• Prepare and present product quality reports, monitor trends and highlight emerging risks or improvement opportunities.

• Champion a proactive approach to quality across the business.

Qualifications, Experience & Attributes:

• Previous experience in a Product Quality, Quality Engineering or Product Assurance role.

• Experience supporting an engineered product throughout its lifecycle, from design and development through manufacturing and customer or in-service support.

• Practical knowledge of DFMEA, PFMEA and Quality Control Plans.

• Experience managing nonconformances, Material Review Boards, root cause investigations and corrective actions.

• Strong structured problem-solving skills.

• The ability to work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain and customer-facing teams.

• Confidence communicating with engineers, production operators, suppliers, customers and senior stakeholders.

• A proactive approach focused on preventing quality issues rather than simply reacting to them.

Desirable

• Experience working within aerospace, defence or another highly regulated engineering environment.

• Knowledge of ISO 9001 or AS9100 quality management systems.

• Internal Auditor certification.

• Previous experience in a start-up, scale-up or similarly fast-changing manufacturing business.
