we are a global pioneer of RADAR systems for active military protection, counter-drone applications, critical infrastructure protection, and border surveillance. We are looking for a talented Technical Manager to join our team. Core Mission: Ensure rigorous Quality Assurance throughout the development lifecycle of hardware-based radar systems, driving toward zero defects in design, testing, and pre-production phases. Lead quality planning, risk mitigation, and compliance for multiple radar development projects running in parallel. Key Responsibilities:
* Develop and execute Quality Assurance plans tailored to hardware development (radar systems), focusing on materials, components, assembly, integration, and validation.
* Define hardware-specific KPIs/KGIs (e.g., First Pass Yield, TEST Coverage, Defect Density in prototyping, Non-Conformance Rates)
* Act as quality authority in hardware-focused design reviews:
* SRR ( system Requirements Review) - Ensure requirements are testable and meet standards.
* PDR (Preliminary Design Review) - Assess design maturity, component selection, and tolerancing.
* CDR (Critical Design Review) - Verify design readiness for prototyping, focusing on manufacturability, reliability, and safety.
* TRR ( TEST Readiness Review) - Validate TEST setups, instrumentation, and acceptance criteria.
* PRR (Production Readiness Review) - Ensure design is transition-ready with robust quality controls.
* Conduct hardware-focused FMEA on RF modules, power systems, structural elements, thermal management, and integration interfaces.
* Implement preventive/corrective actions to address identified failure modes early in development.
* Oversee design verification testing (DVT) and reliability testing (e.g., HALT/HASS, thermal cycling, vibration, EMI/EMC).
* Approve TEST plans, procedures, and reports for hardware performance and compliance.
* Chair Change Control Board (CCB) meetings for hardware changes (BOM revisions, component substitutions, drawing updates).
* Maintain traceability of requirements, designs, tests, and revisions.
* Ensure adherence to AS9100 and MIL STD as 810,882,461
* Support safety certification processes (functional safety for hardware subsystems) according to MIL- STD -882
* Lead cross-functional Root Cause Analysis (e.g., 8D, 5Why) for hardware non-conformances.
* Drive systematic corrections into design and development processes to prevent recurrence.
* Collaborate with suppliers on critical components (e.g., PCBA, antennas, enclosures) to ensure design intent is met and quality is built in.
Requirements: * Bachelors degree in electrical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
* CQE (Certified Quality Engineer) - strong advantage.
* 5+ years in quality engineering for complex hardware systems (preferably radar, aerospace, defence, or automotive).
* Hands-on experience in AS9100-regulated hardware development environments.
* Proven track record in New Product Introduction (NPI) for hardware, from design to pilot production.
* Experience with quality tools:
* FMEA (Design & Process)
* Six Sigma methods (DMAIC) for defect reduction
* APQP/PPAP for hardware validation
* Familiarity with configuration management of hardware (EBOM, drawings, revisions).
* Basic project management skills for planning quality milestones in development schedules. Skills & Mindset:
* Relentless drive to eliminate defects in design and prototyping.
* Ability to analyse schematics, mechanical drawings, GD&T, TEST data, and failure reports.
* Creation of clear, actionable TEST plans, inspection criteria, and quality records.
* Work effectively with hardware design engineers, RF engineers, mechanical engineers, and TEST /validation teams.
This position is open to all candidates.
