Supplier Quality Engineer - Power Electronics (Flight Hardware)

CisLunar Industries · Loveland, Colorado

FULL TIME$1,05,000 – $1,05,000 / yr

Job Description

We are seeking a Supplier Quality Engineer to develop and manage the quality of our supplier network for flight hardware for high-voltage power processing units (PPUs) supporting electric propulsion systems. This role is ideal for someone who understands the discipline, rigor, and quality expectations of low-volume, high-reliability aerospace systems, but can apply that rigor pragmatically within a fast-moving startup.

You will have an opportunity to build the systems and methods from the ground up for our new product lines. This will require owning the transition from lightly documented prototypes to repeatable, auditable flight builds, without slowing innovation.

You will be responsible for ensuring suppliers consistently deliver conforming products while helping suppliers improve their overall performance. You will work proactively with Supply Chain to reduce risk and ensure the best fit suppliers are chosen. You will also work closely with engineering and manufacturing to ensure designs meet expectations and can be effectively communicated to suppliers.

This is a hands-on, high-judgment role suited for an engineer who has experienced both R&D experimentation and flight discipline and knows when to apply each.

U.S. Person Requirement

This position involves access to flight hardware and technical data controlled under U.S. export control laws. Candidates must therefore qualify as a U.S. Person - a U.S. citizen or national, a lawful permanent resident, or an individual granted asylum or refugee status. This requirement stems from federal export regulations, not from a preference regarding citizenship or national origin.

This role is based in Loveland, Colorado. Limited hybrid flexibility may be available for work that does not require laboratory access, but this is not a remote position. Occasional travel or off-shift support may be required.

Nearly every other space company on the Front Range sits in Boulder, Lafayette, Louisville, or Longmont, which means a daily I-25 commute for anyone north of Berthoud. This job does not. Relocation assistance from out of state can be discussed at the right time during the interview process.
