Quality Engineer

About Isembard

Isembard is rebuilding industrial capacity through a connected network of factories. We bring skilled people, advanced machine tools and our own software, MasonOS, together to make precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and robotics.

The role

Quality is where a precision factory earns its customers or loses them. This role owns quality control at our London factory, on parts going to aerospace, defence, energy and other critical industries.

It is hands-on inspection and engineering judgement in equal measure. Beyond the bench, you will build the procedures and controls that let the factory grow without inspection becoming the bottleneck. You will learn quickly across engineering and manufacturing, with one-to-one mentorship and real room to advance as the quality function grows. The package includes equity.

• Inspect parts entering QC after cleaning, running visual and dimensional checks with the right tooling.

• Read drawings and part requirements correctly, and disposition rework and nonconforming parts.

• Keep MasonOS and FlatBOM accurate. The rest of the factory plans against what you record.

• Build quality procedures and governance so quality is controlled in the process, not only found at final inspection.

• Improve QC systems and SOPs, and strengthen the handoffs into and out of quality.

What you bring

• An engineering degree or equivalent technical experience.

• Confidence reading technical drawings.

• A willingness to work on the factory floor rather than next to it.

• Problem-solving, initiative and ownership: you will often be the person who notices what others missed.

• Manufacturing, quality or engineering experience, including from an internship or placement.

• Useful, not essential: metrology, inspection or QC, process improvement, or exposure to precision manufacturing, aerospace, defence or energy.
