Quality Assurance Engineer

Airborne Aerospace is looking for an experienced Quality Assurance Engineer. At Airborne we are dedicated to the design and manufacturing of composite aerospace structures. Composites are rapidly becoming the standard material of choice, because of their superior lightweight performance which is essential to reduce fuel consumption, either for aircraft or launches into space. But to apply composites at a large scale, challenges remain: new technologies are needed to manufacture the components in more industrialized, cost-efficient processes, and better design and manufacturing concepts are required to also use composites in areas where currently metal is still used.
