Job Description

Job Description Drones that fly longer change what's possible. Faster inspections. More effective surveillance. Longer-range logistics. But most drone batteries cap out too soon. Tulip Tech designs and manufactures high-density battery systems that push drone flight time 30 to 100% further than standard technology. Built in Den Bosch, Netherlands. Backed by the Dutch Ministry of Defence. Trusted by leading drone companies including Acecore, Percepto, and DeltaQuad. We are not a software company with a hardware attachment, we are engineers who design cells, build packs, run tests, and scale production. Everything under one roof, built to last. Why this role matters Our high-density battery systems deliver unparalleled energy density, reliability, and longevity, enabling drones to go further, last longer, and perform better. With innovation at the core of our mission, we engineer battery solutions that make drones fly 30% to up to 100% further, all proudly manufactured in Europe. A battery pack that leaves our building is flying over critical infrastructure or into a defence mission within days. There is no room for the wrong article, a damaged cell, a packaging error, or missing paperwork. As our Quality Control Officer, you are the last and the sharpest set of eyes on the full flow of goods: inbound, in-process, and outbound. One standard applies to every check you sign off: right quantity, right type, zero damage, correctly packed, correct paperwork. What You Will Achieve Own inbound quality: inspect deliveries from internal and outsourced production against purchase order, packing list, and specification on quantity, article and variant, condition, packaging integrity, and documentation. You apply agreed sampling plans (AQL-based), and you accept, block, quarantine, or reject, initiating supplier claims where needed. Run real-time sampling on the production floor throughout the shift: verify dimensions, function, finish, and assembly against work instructions and specs, support operators in first-article checks, and build self-inspection discipline into the line. Intervene the moment a process drifts: stop or flag the run, alert the team lead, document the deviation, and verify the correction before production resumes. Release finished goods and outbound shipments on order completeness, correct article and quantity, damage-free condition, packing and labelling standard, and complete export and shipping paperwork. Anything that does not meet standard does not leave the building. Keep the quality system live and useful: log non-conformities, complaints, and returns, drive root-cause analysis and corrective and preventive actions, maintain inspection instructions, checklists, sampling plans, and records, keep measuring equipment calibrated, and report on quality KPIs (defect rate, supplier quality, complaints, first-pass yield) with structural improvements instead of repeat fixes. Job Requirements What you bring MBO+ or HBO level in a technical, logistics, or quality discipline. 2-5 years of quality control experience in a manufacturing or warehousing environment. Precise, observant, and consistent, with the integrity to say no to a shipment and the communication skills to explain that decision to an operator, a team lead, or a supplier. Able to read technical drawings, specifications, and packing documentation. Comfortable with measuring tools, ERP and quality registration, and basic reporting in Excel. Fluent English. Dutch is a plus Nice to have QC or inspection training: AQL sampling, ISO 9001 awareness. Experience in electronics, battery, or automotive production. Experience with Odoo or a comparable ERP and quality module. What we offer Competitive salary excluding 8% holiday allowance (based on experience) 38 paid days off per year (25 vacation + 13 ADV via CAO Metaal & Techniek) 8% holiday allowance, travel reimbursement, and pension via PMT Daily lunch provided by the company Direct access to the full production chain: from incoming cell to battery in the air Flat team: your quality decisions reach the floor immediately
