ARQUIMEA , we are a technology company operating globally and providing innovate solutions and products in highly demanding sectors.

Our areas of activity are Aerospace, Defense & Security, Big Science, Biotechnology and Fintech.

In ARQUIMEA SPACE develops spaceflight parts and equipment for satellites and launchers . We specialize in thermal control systems, structural panels, optical payloads, avionics, release and deployment mechanisms, and rad-hard microelectronics. Together with our tech partners we provide high-throughput smallsats and their subsystems . Our brand-new factory in Madrid is suited to integrate satellites and constellations .

We are looking for a Space Program Product Assurance with the missionof ensuring the reliability , safety , and quality of a spacecraft program , including the mass production of satellites by implementing robust product assurance (PA) processes , compliance frameworks, and risk mitigation strategies.

Tasks to be performed:

- Quality & Reliability Assurance: Establish and enforce quality control measures throughout the entire program, including the spacecraft production lifecycle to ensure mission success and product integrity.

- Process Standardization & Industrialization: Develop and implement standardized PA processes to streamline high-volume spacecraft manufacturing while maintaining compliance/coherence with industry standards ( ECSS, AS9100, NASA, ESA ).

- Supplier & Subcontractor Quality Management: Oversee supplier qualification, audits,



and performance evaluations to ensure adherence to quality and reliability requirements.

- Non-Conformance & Risk Management: Identify, analyse, and resolve non-conformities, implementing corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to minimize risks and ensure continuous improvement. Identifies and addresses improvement opportunities and develop root cause countermeasures.

- Material & Component Assurance: Ensure all materials, components, and subsystems meet strict space industry reliability standards, conducting screening, lot acceptance tests (LAT), and failure analysis when necessary.

- Testing & Validation Oversight: Supervise, form a product assurance point of view, spacecraft verification, including environmental testing (thermal, vibration, radiation), functional testing, and in-orbit performance validation.

- Configuration & Change Management: Supervise design and process changes, ensuring traceability and compliance with PA requirements in collaboration with the Configuration Manager and the Change Control Committee.

- Regulatory & Compliance Oversight: Ensure adherence to international space industry regulations when required and best practices in product assurance.





- Manufacturing Process Audits: Conduct internal and external audits to verify compliance with quality assurance standards and improve production efficiency.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration : Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to integrate PA requirements into design, production, and assembly processes.

Required skills, experience and candidate profile:

- Degree in Aerospace Engineering , Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.

- Master’s Degree specialized in Quality Engineering, Reliability Engineering, or Systems Engineering is a plus.

- Relevant certifications such as AS9100 or ISO9001 , Lead Auditor , Six Sigma (Green/Black Belt), or ECSS PA standards are highly desirable.

- Minimum experience of 10 years in product assurance , quality assurance , or reliability engineering in the aerospace or high-reliability manufacturing sector with at least 5 years in space sector.

- Experience with continuous quality improvement activities in a manufacturing environment.

- Experience in qualifying and auditing suppliers to ensure compliance with PA requirements.

- Experience managing incoming inspections , lot acceptance tests ( LAT ), and counterfeit parts prevention programs.

- Experience working in a high-throughput production environment , ideally involving the manufacture of satellite constellations, spacecraft components/equipment, or o
