You are responsible for inspecting a wide variety of incoming materials from external manufacturers, including mechanical parts, electronic components, batteries, wire harnesses, and general printed circuit boards (PCBs). With a keen eye for detail, you will verify that all incoming materials comply with strict quality standards and technical specifications before they are released to production.

• Execute standardized test protocols on electronics and batteries using appropriate bench-test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, Digital Multimeters and custom fixtures).
• Identify physical, mechanical, or electrical defects and immediately block/quarantine non-conforming materials to prevent them from reaching the production line.
• Record inspection results, create and maintain test protocols, and document all non-conformances within our quality management/complaint systems.
• Support root-cause analyses and collaborate closely with Production, Engineering, and Supplier Quality teams to initiate corrective actions for quality deviations
• Ensure all processes adhere to internal quality requirements and standard guidelines like ISO 9001 (and perspective EN9100).
• Review and interpret technical assembly drawings, schematics, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and inspection criteria to ensure strict compliance.
• Operate within a 2-shift system (morning and evening shift alternating every two weeks) to support incoming goods processing and production deadlines.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE MISSION

• Completed vocational training or technical education in mechanics, electronics, quality inspection, or a related field.
• 2+ years of professional experience in incoming goods inspection, quality control, or technical quality assurance within manufacturing.
• Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Willingness and flexibility to work in a 2-shift rotation (morning and evening shift alternating every two weeks).
• Good communication skills in German and English.

NICE TO HAVE

• Basic knowledge of advanced QM tools (e.g., Control Plans, FMEA).
