Job Summary

The Process Assurance Engineer (Electrical) is a vital role responsible for guaranteeing that all electrical and avionic components, systems, and manufacturing processes meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. This role will be integral in the development of our cutting-edge eVTOL or aerospace products, focusing on preventing non-conformances by establishing robust, repeatable, and auditable processes from concept to production. The successful candidate will work closely with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to implement best practices and drive continuous improvement.

The Process Assurance Engineer (Electrical) ensures that electrical, avionic, and high-voltage systems—and their associated manufacturing processes—meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. The role focuses on preventing non-conformances by establishing robust and auditable processes from concept to production.

It oversees the development lifecycle of Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS) and Electrical Wiring Interconnection System(EWIS), ensuring technical integrity and compliance with airworthiness requirements. The position verifies that EWIS and high-voltage architectures meet ARP4754 expectations and are resilient to HIRF/EMI environments, effectively aligning engineering development with certification needs.

Key Responsibilities

Development Assurance Oversee EWIS and EDS development assurance activities to ensure compliance with ARP4754 including EMI/EMC/HIRF test and certification for critical systems, and review QTPs/QTRs for compliance with DO-160 environmental standards.
Process Development and Audits: Develop, implement, and maintain electrical and avionic process assurance plans in accordance with aerospace industry standards (e.g., AS9100, JCAB/EASA Part 21, FAA Part 21). You will conduct regular process audits to ensure compliance and identify areas for improvement in areas like wire harness fabrication, circuit board assembly, and system integration.
Non-Conformance Prevention: Proactively work with engineering and manufacturing teams to prevent defects and non-conformances. This includes participating in design reviews, conducting Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and assisting with root cause analysis to resolve issues at their source, particularly for complex electrical systems, power electronics, and high-voltage components.
Supplier Quality Management: Collaborate with the supply chain and quality teams to assure the quality of electrical components from external suppliers. This involves conducting supplier audits, reviewing supplier quality plans, and ensuring all incoming materials meet technical and quality specifications.
Documentation and Reporting: Prepare and maintain detailed documentation of all process assurance activities, including audit reports, compliance matrices, and quality metrics. You'll ensure that all records are traceable and auditable for regulatory body inspections.
Continuous Improvement: Lead and participate in continuous improvement initiatives using methodologies like Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma to optimize electrical processes, increase efficiency, and reduce waste.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Act as a key liaison between various departments, including design, manufacturing, test, and certification, to ensure a seamless flow of information and a consistent application of quality standards across all project phases.

Required Skills & Qualifications.:

Strong understanding of electrical design principles,development lifecycle of Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS) and Electrical Wiring Interconnection System(EWIS), manufacturing processes (e.g., PCBA fabrication, wire harnessing, soldering, avionics integration).
In-depth knowledge of Quality Management Systems (QMS) such as AS9100, ISO 9001.
Experience with quality tools and methodologies (FMEA, SPC, Root Cause Analysis, 8D).
Familiarity with aerospace regulatory standards (e.g., FAA, EASA) and standards for electrical systems (e.g., ARP 4754/4761, DO-160, DO-254).
