Inspection & Testing: Perform detailed incoming, in-process, and final inspections of electrical assemblies, wire harnesses, avionics racks, and circuit board assemblies (PCBAs).
Compliance & Standards: Ensure all products meet strict aerospace standards, including AS9100, IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620.
Root Cause Analysis: Investigate electrical failures, non-conformances, and test deviations. Lead the corrective and preventive action (CAPA) processes to ensure issues don't repeat.
Auditing: Conduct internal audits of manufacturing processes, test setups, and supplier facilities to maintain high-quality benchmarks.
Documentation: Review and approve manufacturing routers, test logs, engineering drawings, and First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) per AS9102.
Prepare and maintain inspection plans, checklists, NCR, MRB, and CAPA records.
Compliance: Ensure compliance with AS9100 and DGCA airworthiness requirements.
Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain teams to resolve quality bottlenecks and improve production yields.
RequirementsRequired Qualifications & Skills
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience with an Associate degree).

What We Do
We're developing India’s 1st flying electric taxi for up to 10x faster intra-city commute and cargo transport. Incubated at IIT Madras, Chennai since 2019, The ePlane Company was founded by Professor Satya Chakravarthy with a vision to make flying ubiquitous. As an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) startup, we aim to alleviate on-road traffic congestion in cities worldwide by offering safe, sustainable and affordable flying experiences through our flagship product, The ePlane e200.
