About the role
Skydio is seeking an Advanced / NPI Quality Engineer to own product quality from concept through ramp, on one product, end to end. Most companies split this into an advanced quality role that does design-phase prevention and an NPI role that runs the builds. We combine them, because the person who wrote the DFMEA should be the one on the line when the failure mode shows up. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's in an engineering discipline, or equivalent experience
- [5+] years in quality engineering on physical products, including one product carried personally from design through mass production
- Hands-on DFMEA/PFMEA facilitation, control plans actually used on a line, and MSA/gauge R&R/capability studies you can run yourself
- Working knowledge of PPAP and root cause methods (8D, 5-why, fault tree) with verified closure
- Equally comfortable on the factory floor and in a design review
- Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions

We combine them, because the person who wrote the DFMEA should be the one on the line when the failure mode shows up. You'll set the targets, facilitate the risk analysis, qualify suppliers and measurement systems, run build quality, and sign off, or hold, the gates.
Concept and planning: set CTQ characteristics and quality targets (yield, DPMO, AFR), write the quality plan, and classify the BOM by risk with PPAP levels assigned per part.
