  • Identifies risks and opportunities within supplier operations and recommends improvement strategies.
  • Supports supplier selection decisions through technical assessments and capability audits.
 
Supplier Auditing
  • Plans, executes, and documents supplier audits focused on quality systems, process controls, and compliance. 
  • Tracks audit findings and verifies effective implementation of corrective actions.
  • Maintains audit schedules and supports supplier development initiatives.
 
New Product Introduction (NPI) Support
  • Collaborates with design engineering to ensure manufacturability and supplier readiness for new product designs. 
  • Leads supplier engagement during prototype builds, pilot runs, and production ramp-up.
  • Validates supplier processes through PPAP, FAI, or equivalent qualification activities.
 
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field and a minimum of 4 years experience in supplier quality, manufacturing engineering, or supply chain engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Strong understanding of quality tools (e.g., FMEA, SPC, 8D, PPAP).
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Ability to travel to supplier sites as needed.
 
Physical Requirements
The essential functions of this role require the ability to work in office and manufacturing environments, move throughout production and supplier facilities, use standard computer and office equipment, and occasionally lift or move items up to 20 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.
