Quality Technician

Ecorobotix Inc. creates innovative robotic solutions that reduce the negative ecological impact of modern agriculture. We have developed an AI-based ultra-high precision spot spraying technology that drastically reduces the amount of chemicals used in crop fields while keeping costs competitive. The technology is currently deployed on our tractor-towed ARA machine. By joining our talented and dynamic team, you will contribute to a more sustainable, environment-friendly agriculture in an innovative scale-up at the cutting edge of technology.

We are a revolutionary organization with a great work environment that supports creativity through self-motivation.

We're looking for a sharp, motivated Quality Technician to join our growing team in Lyons, Kansas — someone who brings a keen eye for detail, a structured mindset, and a genuine desire to learn and grow within a quality function. You don't need to have seen it all before; what matters is that you're rigorous, curious, and committed to doing things right.

In this role, you will play a hands-on part in monitoring the quality of our machines from incoming components through to finished product, helping us build and improve the processes that keep our manufacturing operation running at a high standard.

Reports to the Quality Manager. Works closely with production, engineering, supply chain, and industrialization teams internally. Serves as the on-site Ecorobotix quality presence at our assembly partner facility in Lyons, Kansas, with regular coordination with that team. Occasional travel to Switzerland may be expected.

• Perform incoming inspections of parts and components — checking dimensions, conformity to drawings, and documentation completeness
• Conduct final inspections of machines prior to shipment and formally release units that meet quality standards
• Record inspection results accurately and determine product conformity based on established criteria

• Monitor the assembly process to ensure work is being carried out in line with quality standards and procedures
• Support production teams on‑site in identifying and resolving quality deviations as they arise
• Analyze deviations against technical and documentation requirements and flag patterns or recurring issues
• Provide quality oversight of subassembly and full machine QC checks carried out by the production team

• Manage internal, supplier, and customer non‑conformities from identification through to resolution
• Lead or participate in root cause analyses using structured problem‑solving tools (8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa)
• Track corrective and preventive actions to ensure they are implemented effectively and on time
• Serve as the primary Ecorobotix point of contact at the production site for quality-related issues
• Track and report on key quality indicators — non‑conformity rates, scrap, response times, and trends
• Prepare regular quality reports for management with clear findings and recommended actions
• Actively participate in defining, documenting, and improving internal quality procedures
• Bring a continuous improvement mindset to everything you do — identify what's not working and propose better ways
• Associate's or bachelor's degree in Quality, Industrial Production, Engineering Technology, or a related field — or equivalent hands‑on experience
• 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing, production, or technical environment; direct quality experience is a plus but not required if you can demonstrate strong attention to detail and structured thinking
• Comfortable reading and interpreting mechanical drawings and basic electrical schematics — or eager to learn
• Familiarity with quality problem‑solving tools (8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa, FMEA) is a plus; we'll invest in training the right person
• Strong Excel and data recording skills — you're organized and accurate with information
• A self-starter who takes ownership, follows through, and communicates clearly with teammates and partners
• Comfortable working on‑site in an active manufacturing environment with a high degree of daily independence
• Familiarity with an ERP system (Odoo or similar) is a plus
