The What: At Blackwave GmbH, we develop and manufacture high-performance carbon fiber components for airplanes, rockets, and satellites — pushing the limits of lightweight design and precision manufacturing. Our mission: To end COPV failure in spaceflight. The benchmark for performance, reliability and cost efficiency.
The Why: Because quality is the foundation of innovation. Every component we deliver must perform flawlessly under extreme conditions — in the air, in orbit, and beyond. As part of our Quality team, you ensure that our processes meet the highest standards, enabling us to turn cutting-edge ideas into flight-ready solutions.
Important Note: This role is focused on Quality Assurance of our hardware (COPVs). We are not currently hiring for Software Quality Assurance positions

- Project & Process Quality Assurance: You define and implement quality assurance strategies across the entire product lifecycle - from suppliers and development to serial production.
- Manufacturing & Process Quality: You accompany production on the shop floor, working closely with manufacturing teams to ensure quality requirements are effectively implemented at all production stations.
- Change Control: You support product and process changes, ensure quality requirements are considered and contribute to approval and implementation activities.
- Root Cause Analysis & Corrective Actions: You analyze quality deviations using structured methods (e.g. 8D, Ishikawa, 5-Why), derive sustainable corrective actions, and ensure their implementation.
- Continuous Improvement & Audits: You monitor key quality indicators (e.g. audit findings, non-conformities) and proactively drive continuous improvement of processes and standards.
