Role

We are looking for a Quality Technician to join our Paris office. Working in the field alongside engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams, you will ensure that quality is integrated into our products, from prototype to customer delivery. You will report to the Quality Manager.

Responsibilities

Prototype Manufacturing Support:

• Provide quality support during prototype assembly, ensuring constructions conform to drawings, work instructions, and specifications.

• Identify and document non-conforming parts, support processing and corrective actions alongside the engineering team.

• Assist in defining inspection methods and acceptance criteria for new components.

First Article Inspection (FAI):

• Perform first article inspections on development parts.

• Prepare and maintain FAI reports with full traceability of inspection results.

• Follow up on FAI findings and ensure corrective actions are closed before production release.

Quality Wall – Products Under Development:

• Manage the quality wall checkpoint, verifying that each development unit meets defined criteria before proceeding to the next phase.

• Keep quality wall records updated and provide visibility on product status and blocking reasons.

• Escalate recurring defects to Quality Engineering and Design for resolution.

After-Sales Support and Customer Sorting:

• Participate in after-sales support activities, including on-site inspection and customer product sorting if necessary.

• Perform visual and dimensional checks to identify non-conforming units, isolate defective products, and document findings.

• Act as a quality representative on-site, liaising between the customer and internal teams to effectively resolve quality issues.

• Feed back field observations to the development center to drive corrective actions and product improvement.

Quality System and Continuous Improvement:

• Ensure inspection and non-conformance reports are properly documented in the appropriate tools (Jira, Confluence, or QMS).

• Contribute to the improvement of inspection processes and quality wall criteria over time.

Requirements

• Technical degree in quality, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, or a related field.

• First experience in a quality inspection or manufacturing quality role, ideally in the aerospace, defense, or high-tech sectors.

• Ability to read engineering drawings and use standard inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, etc.).

• Knowledge of First Article Inspection (FAI) processes is a plus.

• Knowledge of ISO 9001 and EN 9100 standards.

• Meticulous, rigorous, and comfortable working in a workshop environment.
