About the Role

The Senior Supplier Quality Engineer drives supplier quality strategy for critical hardware and electromechanical supply chains. This role develops supplier quality metrics, qualification methods, audit processes, and development plans to build a reliable, scalable, and high-performing supplier base.

About the work

Audit strategic suppliers quality systems and manufacturing processes to ensure selection, qualification, and ongoing approval against internal quality requirements.
Lead part-by-part qualification, PPAP, and FAI through product development, new part introduction, and supplier onboarding.
Review and provide feedback on supplier DFM, control plans, inspection plans, and test strategies for PCBA, electromechanical, and box-build assemblies.
Qualify and monitor suppliers producing PCBA, conformal-coated boards, cable assemblies, harnesses, connectors, sensors, motors, actuators, and integrated electromechanical subassemblies.
Evaluate compliance to relevant electronics and assembly standards, including IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, IPC/WHMA-A-620, and any applicable customer requirements.
Assess supplier process capability for soldering, reflow, wave solder, cleaning, coating, crimping, connection, torqueing, test, and traceability controls.
Drive supplier root cause analysis, CAPA, and containment actions for electrical, mechanical, and mixed-technology failures.
Establish and maintain supplier quality requirements, including traceability, change control, inspection criteria, and nonconformance escalation.
Analyze supplier performance data to identify trends, prevent escapes, and improve delivery, yield, and field reliability.
Lead supplier audits and source inspections for incoming complex components and assemblies, including hidden-defect risks such as solder defects, intermittent connections, and harness termination failures.
Partner with supply chain, manufacturing, and engineering to remediate supplier issues and implement process improvements that support launch readiness and production stability.
Support implementation and continuous improvement of the QMS with emphasis on supplier quality for hardware, electronics, and electromechanical products.
