As Production Quality Control Specialist (Hardware), you're the first line of technical support for production. You troubleshoot, diagnose and fix hardware failures across our VTOL drones, their sub-assemblies and components. That way every aircraft we ship meets the standard our customers rely on in the field.\nYou also step back from single failures and look at the data. You analyze yields and quarantine trends, find the root causes behind repeat problems and decide which fixes to tackle first. You work closely with Production, Engineering and Supply Chain, and your work shows up directly in product quality and output.\nResponsibilities\nFirst on the scene. You're the first-line technical support for production issues, from failed quality inspections and assembly defects to nonconforming parts.\n\nOwn the checks. You set up the incoming inspections and in-process quality control tests, read the results and make them better over time.\n\nDecide what happens to quarantined material. You choose whether it gets reworked, repaired, scrapped or returned to the supplier.\n\nFind the real cause. You lead root cause analyses (5 Whys, Ishikawa, 8D) on recurring and high-impact failures.\n\nLet the data point the way. You analyze yields and quarantine Paretos to spot the biggest quality drivers.\n\nSee fixes through. You turn your findings into prioritized corrective actions (CAPA) and follow them until they are closed.\n\nHelp new and existing parts move from engineering to production.\n\nKeep failure, test and repair records traceable.\n\nShare what you learn. You feed findings back to Engineering and suppliers, and you train assembly staff on failure modes and workmanship.\n\nRequirements\nYou've spent 4+ years as a quality technician, quality inspector or assembly technician on a complex mechatronic product.\n\nYou know GD&T, geometrical measurements, and mechanical parts testing and inspection.\n\nYou're at ease with data. You can build yield and failure Paretos and draw sound conclusions from them.\n\nYou're methodical and keep good records, and you make sound calls under production pressure.\n\nYou have a technical apprenticeship or technical diploma in Engineering, Manufacturing or Mechatronics, or equivalent practical experience.\n\nYou communicate excellently in English and enjoy working together on the shop floor.\n\nPlus\nExperience with UAVs, RC aircraft or avionics\n\nSPC, Cp/Cpk, MSA or a Six Sigma Green Belt\n\nAI tools for data analysis\n\nExperience with non-conformance tracking, quality management systems or manufacturing ERP/PLM software\n\nFamiliarity with inspection tools, measurement equipment, technical drawings and CAD\n\nContinuous improvement methods such as 8D, 5S and CAPA\n\nHands-on work with assembly line operators, manufacturing engineers and quality teams\n\nSpeaking or understanding German","description_format":"text","description_chars":2927,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Drones & UAVs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T13:59:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":157,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T18:24:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wingtra-quality-control-specialist-hardware","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wingtra-quality-control-specialist-hardware.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T18:24:35Z","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_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":36806,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":54286},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54286"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwingtra-quality-control-specialist-hardware"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"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%2Fwingtra-quality-control-specialist-hardware"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fwingtra-quality-control-specialist-hardware"},{"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/wingtra-quality-control-specialist-hardware\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwingtra-quality-control-specialist-hardware"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4250066}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wingtra.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4250066},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
