Paired with the Slate tablet and our Copilot software, it lets an operator run a machine manually, with AI assistance, or fully autonomously. Increasingly, we also build custom hardware to adapt our machines for highly specialized, robust applications beyond traditional excavation.\nAbout the role\nWe are looking for a manufacturing quality engineer to own the quality and reliability of the Gravis hardware package that turns regular excavators into awesome, autonomous machines. You will work with our engineering and production team in Zurich defining and implementing quality measures like incoming inspections, supply chain validations, failure analysis and product return teardowns to enable our custom AI hardware a safe and reliable operation of heavy machines. You are capable of working both independently and with others, and are intrinsically driven to solve challenging applied problems with a rigorous attention to detail and an exploratory imagination.\nYou are our first quality hire. There is no dedicated quality team, no lab, and no playbook; you will design the test / fixture / process and then go build it.\nWhat you will do\nDefine what hardware quality means for Gravis from ground up\nDesign and implement testing systems, jigs and fixtures from incoming inspection to product shipping\nDocument failures, root causes and mitigations, build a failure database and review regularly with design and production\nTeardown and analysis of field returns, drive corrective actions\nOwn supplier quality: first article inspection, qualification, audits, and 8D follow-through\nTighten drawings and specifications; critical characteristics, unambiguous acceptance criteria\nHelp building our long-term reliability and environmental test strategy as we scale\nWhat we're looking for\nA university degree in mechanical, electrical, quality Engineering or equivalent practical experience\n3+ years experience in quality / manufacturing engineering in low volume manufacturing\nHands on failure analysis and teardowns\nCAD knowledge for designing fixtures\nExperience in hand metrology\nSolid understanding of mechanical and electrical systems\nGood command of English, both written and spoken\nBeneficial skills\nExperience in GD&T\nExperience in SQL / python\nExposure to environmental / accelerated lifetime testing (e.g. vibration, shock, ingress, UV)\nFluency in Mandarin\nOff-highway, agricultural, mining or other harsh-environment equipment","description_format":"text","description_chars":3272,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T02:14:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gravis-robotics-manufacturing-quality-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gravis-robotics-manufacturing-quality-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T22:16:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2503,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2497,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673830},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673830"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgravis-robotics-manufacturing-quality-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgravis-robotics-manufacturing-quality-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgravis-robotics-manufacturing-quality-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gravis-robotics-manufacturing-quality-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgravis-robotics-manufacturing-quality-engineer"}]}
