ABOUT THE ROLE

As Quality Manager, you are responsible for building, implementing and continuously improving our Quality Management System in line with EN 9100, laying the foundation for future certification and scalable organizational growth.

Your primary focus lies on consolidating existing processes, identifying gaps and establishing a structured, audit-ready quality framework across the organization.

This is not a purely documentation-focused role — you will take ownership of translating quality requirements into practical, day-to-day processes and ensuring that quality is effectively embedded in how we work.

Operating in a startup environment, this role requires a high degree of flexibility, pragmatism and ownership. You will define structures while also working hands-on to implement them together with engineering, leadership and other key stakeholders.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Own and drive the development of an EN9100-compliant Quality Management System (QMS)
• Consolidate, structure and further develop existing processes across the organization
• Identify gaps and implement pragmatic, scalable solutions
• Define and maintain process documentation, procedures and quality standards
• Prepare and lead internal and external audits
• Align quality requirements with engineering, operations and certification activities
• Enable and train teams to ensure quality processes are understood and applied in practice
• Act as the central point of contact for all quality-related topics

WHAT YOU BRING

• Degree in Engineering, Quality Management or a related field
• Several years of experience in quality management within aerospace or a similarly regulated environment
• Strong experience with EN9100 / ISO 9001 and building or scaling QMS structures
• Solid understanding of aerospace regulatory frameworks
• Ideally, hands-on experience in Design Organization (DO) and/or Production Organization (PO) environments
• Proven ability to work both strategically and operationally in a growing organization
• Strong communication skills and ability to train and enable cross-functional teams
• Proactive, structured and solution-oriented mindset
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-changing startup environment
• Fluent English and German

WHAT WE OFFER

• Full-scale aerospace engineering, not concept slides
• A 60+ engineer team at Ottobrunn
• Real ownership and flat hierarchies: a modern startup culture where your input shapes decisions, not just execution
• Flexible working hours, remote work, and competitive compensation
• Health & wellbeing: EGYM Wellpass membership and subsidized lunch in our canteen
• Office extras: espresso coffee, fresh fruit, and soft drinks, plus regular team and company events, and plenty more once you're on board
