À propos de cette offre
Join the Wingtra team and become part of this venture-backed robotics scaleup with a global and international team of 125+ dedicated Wingtranauts who want to see their actions have a positive and lasting impact on the world. Founded more than 8 years ago at ETH Zurich, Europe’s leading robotics university, our goal is to build the best aerial robots to digitize the world at the push of a button and set the basis for faster and better decisions. Wingtra provides efficient and reliable data solutions to a variety of industries ranging from mining, construction and agriculture to humanitarian organizations, environmentalists and wildlife monitoring groups.
We are reaching for the stars and together we might just get there. Open communication, asking hard questions and valuing diverse viewpoints are but a few things that will help us achieve our goals. Above all we will never stop learning and striving to help each other reach our maximum potential.
When a drone fails a test on our production floor or shows a hardware defect, you're the first person we call. 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.
You 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.

-
First on the scene. You're the first-line technical support for production issues, from failed quality inspections and assembly defects to nonconforming parts.
-
Own the checks. You set up the incoming inspections and in-process quality control tests, read the results and make them better over time.
-
Decide what happens to quarantined material. You choose whether it gets reworked, repaired, scrapped or returned to the supplier.
-
Find the real cause. You lead root cause analyses (5 Whys, Ishikawa, 8D) on recurring and high-impact failures.
-
Let the data point the way. You analyze yields and quarantine Paretos to spot the biggest quality drivers.
-
See fixes through. You turn your findings into prioritized corrective actions (CAPA) and follow them until they are closed.
-
Help new and existing parts move from engineering to production.
-
Keep failure, test and repair records traceable.
-
Share what you learn. You feed findings back to Engineering and suppliers, and you train assembly staff on failure modes and workmanship.
-
You've spent 4+ years as a quality technician, quality inspector or assembly technician on a complex mechatronic product.
-
You know GD&T, geometrical measurements, and mechanical parts testing and inspection.
-
You're at ease with data. You can build yield and failure Paretos and draw sound conclusions from them.
-
You're methodical and keep good records, and you make sound calls under production pressure.
-
You have a technical apprenticeship or technical diploma in Engineering, Manufacturing or Mechatronics, or equivalent practical experience.
-
You communicate excellently in English and enjoy working together on the shop floor.
-
Experience with UAVs, RC aircraft or avionics
-
SPC, Cp/Cpk, MSA or a Six Sigma Green Belt
-
AI tools for data analysis
-
Experience with non-conformance tracking, quality management systems or manufacturing ERP/PLM software
-
Familiarity with inspection tools, measurement equipment, technical drawings and CAD
-
Continuous improvement methods such as 8D, 5S and CAPA
-
Hands-on work with assembly line operators, manufacturing engineers and quality teams
-
Speaking or understanding German
