  • Stay updated on changes in industry standards and regulations affecting supplier quality.
  • Lead supplier audits, APQP, PPAP, Gauge R&R, and safe launch activities.
  • Participate in design reviews with the design engineering and manufacturing team to mitigate risk for manufacturing and assembly.
  • Lead MRB meetings and act as a quality representative for the engineering change control board.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal skills.
  • Excellent project management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects.
  • Strong understanding of mechanical components (forgings, castings, sheet metal, plastic injection molding) and assembly processes.
  • Ability to travel (domestic and international) up to 30 to 50%.
  • Proven experience in a quality engineering role, preferably within a manufacturing or production environment.
