Quality Engineer

Location: London

Job Type: Full-time

Role Overview:

You will build and command the quality system that underpins Isembard’s entire industrial network.

This is the role that determines whether Isembard becomes a trusted manufacturing partner to the world’s most demanding aerospace, defence, and energy companies.

You are the final authority on whether parts ship. You are the standard-setter for every factory we operate and every franchise we enable.

Key Responsibilities:

• Global Quality System
  • Architect and scale a unified ISO9001 / AS9100D quality system across owned and franchised factories
  • Define what “good” looks like — and enforce it without compromise
• Factory-Level Execution
  • Design inspection strategies (FAIRs, in-process, final inspection) for high-precision components
  • Establish frameworks that actually drive yield, not just reporting
• Audit & Compliance
  • Lead internal, external, and customer audits
  • Own franchise site certification and ongoing compliance
• Root Cause & Continuous Improvement
  • Personally lead critical root cause investigations
  • Build a culture where problems are surfaced early and solved permanently
• Customer Trust
  • Act as the senior quality interface to primes and high-stakes customers
  • Shorten sales cycles by being a credible, trusted authority

Required Skills:

• Deep experience owning or running AS9100 / ISO9001 systems in high-precision manufacturing
• Background in aerospace, defence, or similarly regulated industries
• Proven ability to design and implement QMS from first principles
