As Production Quality Control Specialist, you’re the first line of technical support in production. You troubleshoot, diagnose and fix failures across our VTOL drones, their sub-systems, sensors and in-process quality tests. 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 recurring problems and help decide which corrective actions to tackle first. You’ll work closely with Production, Engineering and Supply Chain, and your work directly shapes product quality and output.\nResponsibilities\nFirst call when production hits a snag. You’re the first-line technical support for test failures, assembly defects and nonconforming units, so the line keeps moving.\n\nFix what’s broken. You troubleshoot and repair electrical, electronic and system-level failures on drones, sub-assemblies, payloads and sensors.\n\nOwn incoming inspection and in-process tests. You run them, read the results and make them better over time.\n\nDecide what happens to quarantined material. Rework, repair, scrap or return to supplier: the call is yours.\n\nGet to the real root cause. You lead root cause analyses (5 Whys, Ishikawa, 8D) on recurring and high-impact failures.\n\nFind the biggest quality drivers. You analyze yields and quarantine Paretos to see where effort pays off most.\n\nClose the loop. You turn findings into prioritized corrective actions (CAPA) and follow them through until closed.\n\nKeep failure, test and repair records traceable.\n\nShare what you learn. You feed findings back to Engineering and suppliers and 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 see how mechanics, electronics, sensors and firmware work together, and you can trace a failure across them.\n\nYou’re comfortable with data. You can build yield and failure Paretos and draw sound conclusions.\n\nYou’re methodical and document your work well. You keep sound judgment when production is under pressure.\n\nYou have a technical apprenticeship or diploma in Engineering, Manufacturing, Mechatronics or similar, or the equivalent hands-on experience.\n\nYou speak fluent English and like working side by side with people on the shop floor. German is an advantage.\n\nPlus\nExperience with UAVs, RC aircraft or avionics\n\nFamiliarity with batteries, GNSS, IMUs, cameras or LiDAR\n\nSPC, Cp/Cpk, MSA or a Six Sigma Green Belt\n\nPython, SQL, BI or AI tools for data analysis\n\nExperience with non-conformance tracking, quality management systems or manufacturing ERP/PLM software\n\nFamiliarity with inspection tools and measurement equipment, and reading technical drawings (eCAD/mCAD)\n\nKnowledge of continuous improvement methods such as 5S","description_format":"text","description_chars":2987,"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":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Drones & UAVs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T16:10:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":232,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wingtra-quality-control-specialist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wingtra-quality-control-specialist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T21:04:30Z","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":32644,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":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"},{"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%2Fwingtra-quality-control-specialist"},{"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%2Fwingtra-quality-control-specialist"},{"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\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwingtra-quality-control-specialist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3531351}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wingtra.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3531351},"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.
