About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and own the hardware quality plan
Build a complete quality plan covering all Vizzia hardware products, with clear deliverables for each hardware function
Set quality standards and acceptance criteria that everyone on the team can reference
Ensure the plan is shared, understood, and applied — not just a document that lives on a drive
Write, share and roll out quality processes across the full hardware development chain
Create the internal and external templates the team and suppliers will use day-to-day (test plans, audit forms, non-conformity reports, certification documentation)
Train and coach the hardware team to embed these processes into their work
Define test plans for every Vizzia hardware product
Ensure test plans are executed systematically before products reach production
Trace results so nothing falls through the cracks
Establish structured supplier quality control, starting with Altior and extending to other manufacturing partners
Lead audits, define corrective action plans and follow them through to closure
Travel to China approximately twice a year to audit suppliers and align on quality expectations on site
Ensure certification-related documentation (CE in particular) is complete, up-to-date and audit-ready at any time
Build traceability that allows reconstruction of the full history of any product version, any change, or any non-conformity
Improve field reliability over time — increase mean time to failure and reduce field returns

What you’ll need

Approximately 10 years of experience in hardware quality engineering in industries where quality is critical
Experience in highly regulated industries (medical, defense, aerospace) and a clear understanding of rigorous quality discipline
Strong knowledge of CE standards and proven ability to take a product through certification without surprises
Experience auditing and working with manufacturing suppliers, ideally including suppliers in China, and comfortable with travel there
A combination of rigor and diplomacy: you can bring hardware teams on board without becoming the "quality police"
