Quality Inspection Technician (m/f/d) - UGV

As a Quality Inspection Technician UGV (f/m/d), you will be part of our Quality Team for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) at our Göppingen site. You will inspect technically advanced UGVs throughout the entire production process, document inspection results with full traceability, and directly contribute to transforming our LAND production from prototype-based builds into a robust, repeatable, and scalable series production environment.

You will work hands-on with the vehicles while collaborating closely with Production, Industrialization, Engineering, Testing, and Logistics teams. By following approved inspection instructions, ensuring complete traceability, and actively providing shopfloor feedback, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of both product quality and quality processes.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections of components, assemblies, and complete Mandrill UGVs according to approved Quality Inspection (QI) procedures.
• Conduct visual, dimensional, and functional inspections of components, wiring harnesses, assemblies, and payload/interface integrations.
• Consistently document all inspection results in Operations1, ensuring complete digital records and full traceability.
• Identify, document, and escalate deviations through the defined quality and deviation management process, including initiating containment and rework actions.
• Support root cause investigations and verification of corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) in close collaboration with Quality Engineering.
• Maintain and calibrate inspection equipment, ensuring that only approved tools and measuring devices are used.
• Actively contribute to validation builds and Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) ramp-up activities, supporting the stabilization of quality, cycle times, and production output.
• Provide shopfloor feedback to improve inspection procedures, inspection plans, and quality methods.
• Collaborate closely with Production, Industrialization, Engineering, and Logistics teams to ensure smooth handovers and rapid problem resolution.
• Ensure a safe, clean, and efficient work environment while complying with applicable ESD, high-voltage (HV), and site-specific regulations.
