Product Assurance Engineer (Senior)

With thousands of satellites in orbit and the number growing fast, the reliability and safety of every component, process, and supplier relationship is not a formality. It is what keeps missions alive. Vyoma is building Europe's sovereign space surveillance capability: a fleet of in-orbit sensors and a powerful software suite to track space debris and protect active satellites in low-Earth orbit.

As our Senior Product Assurance (PA) Engineer, you will own and continuously evolve Vyoma's internal PA framework: the quality management system, risk processes, software PA, and the requirements we place on our suppliers. You will develop and maintain Vyoma's PA requirement catalogue and tailor it for each project and proposal context. You will work directly with engineering, mission, and business teams.

This is not a role for someone who enforces standards from a distance. You will be embedded with the engineering team, making PA a practical enabler of mission success rather than a bureaucratic overhead. Your work will directly shape what Vyoma builds, how we build it, and whether it works.

As part of Vyoma you will:

• Build and own the internal PA system: Develop, implement, and continuously improve Vyoma’s quality management system (QMS), including NCR processes, risk management, document control, and configuration management — pragmatically adapted for a lean NewSpace environment.
• PA requirement catalogue: Own and continuously develop Vyoma’s internal PA requirement catalogue. Tailor it appropriately for each project and proposal — balancing rigour with the realities of a lean, fast-moving NewSpace environment.
• Supplier PA: Develop and maintain Vyoma’s supplier PA requirements, conduct supplier audits, manage NCRs, and track corrective actions through to closure.
• Software PA: Define and evolve software product assurance requirements across the development lifecycle, adapted to Vyoma’s lean and agile development practices. Requirements are applied in a criticality-based manner — the rigour scales with the safety and mission impact of the software item.
• EEE parts and radiation: Review and assess suppliers’ EEE parts approaches, including parts selection, screening, and radiation hardness assurance (RHA) — ensuring they meet Vyoma’s requirements for the space environment.
• Reviews and compliance: Prepare and support internal and external project reviews (PDR, CDR, QR, AR). Ensure PA deliverables are ready, complete, and traceable.
• Drive PA culture: Act as the internal reference point for quality and assurance topics. Make PA practical and valued by the engineering team, not a bureaucratic overhead.
