Full job description
Quantum Space is redefining mobility and autonomy beyond Earth orbit. Our Ranger spacecraft deliver high delta-V and sustained on-orbit maneuverability, enabling missions across cislunar and geostationary space that were previously out of reach. We are building the vehicles, infrastructure, and operational expertise that connect and protect assets across the Earth–Moon system.
Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking a Quality Engineer II to support hardware build, integration, and test operations across our spacecraft programs. This role is critical to ensuring mission success by driving product quality, process discipline, and continuous improvement throughout Integration & Test (I&T).
This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced hardware environments and can work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and test teams to identify issues, drive root cause, and implement lasting solutions. You will play a key role in maintaining high-reliability standards across all phases of vehicle assembly and verification.
This is an on-site position in our Rockville, MD office.
Where You’ll Make an Impact
Develop, implement, and maintain quality control procedures, including in-process inspection plans to ensure stable and capable I&T processes
Interpret engineering drawings, specifications, tolerances, BOMs, and work orders to verify product conformity
Lead investigations into quality escapes and nonconformances using structured root cause methodologies (8D, 5 Whys, Fishbone)
Apply industry-standard quality tools and methodologies, including RCCA, SPC, and FMEA
Drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to eliminate recurrence and improve overall product and process quality
Support continuous improvement initiatives through quality tools and error-proofing techniques
Perform, witness, and monitor incoming, in-process, and acceptance inspections and tests across hardware build and pre-launch activities
Verify compliance with procedures governing contamination control, cleanroom operations, lifting and handling, hazardous operations, and ESD control
Ensure all work is executed against the latest approved drawings and procedures
Ensure measurement and test equipment remains within calibration and compliant with program requirements
Support internal and external audits, including customer and agency reviews
What It Takes
3–5 years of directly related quality or engineering experience, preferably in aerospace, spacecraft, or other high-reliability hardware environments
Strong ability to interpret engineering documentation and verify hardware against requirements
Experience leading root cause investigations and driving RCCA/CAPA to closure
Hands-on experience supporting hardware integration and test environments
Familiarity with environmental testing (thermal, vibration, EMI/EMC)
Ability to obtain and maintain NASA and IPC workmanship certifications (J-STD-001, NASA-STD-8739 series); current certifications strongly preferred
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to operate effectively in cross-disciplinary teams
High attention to detail with a focus on process discipline and execution
Nice-to-Have Experience
Current NASA or IPC certifications (J-STD-001, NASA-STD-8739.4, NASA-STD-8739.1)
Experience in cleanroom environments and contamination-controlled processes
Background supporting spacecraft or flight hardware programs
Familiarity with metrology systems, calibration programs, and inspection tooling
Experience supporting customer or government audits
What You’ll Get
Ownership – Direct impact on spacecraft quality and mission success
Exposure – Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and test teams across the full vehicle lifecycle
Growth – Opportunity to develop deep expertise in spacecraft integration and high-reliability systems
Compensation – Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits
Location: Rockville, MD
Compensation: $100,000 to $150,000 Annual Salary Depending on Experience
Additional Requirements
To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual per 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain required authorizations.
