Job Description

About the role

DRS RADA is 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 Program Quality Engineer 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.

What you'll do

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

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
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.
Proactively identify and mitigate hardware quality risks before they impact design maturity.

Nice to have

Knowledge of radar system components (transceivers, antennas, power supplies, cooling systems).
Experience with environmental testing standards (MIL-STD-810, DO-160).
Understanding of functional safety in hardware (ISO 26262, IEC 61508).
Familiarity with manufacturing process controls for hardware (DFM/A, ICT, AOI).
CQE (Certified Quality Engineer) – strong
