Incoming Quality Escalations

Serve as the escalation point for complex incoming quality control (IQC) issues.
Support root cause investigations involving suppliers, Operations, and Engineering teams.
Lead containment, corrective action, and preventive action implementation.
Coordinate with suppliers to rapidly resolve production-impacting quality concerns.

Supplier Audits & Development

Perform supplier audits focused on production controls, quality systems, process capability, and operational effectiveness.
Develop supplier improvement plans based on audit findings and performance data.
Build collaborative supplier relationships focused on continuous improvement.
Drive the development of our dock-to-stock program

Operational Quality Support

Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Operations teams to improve internal yield and supplier-driven quality performance.
Analyze quality data to identify recurring issues and improvement opportunities.
Drive sustainable process improvements across the supply base.

About You

Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience driving process improvement and troubleshooting in manufacturing environments, including injection molding, die casting, stamping/sheet metal fabrication, and coating processes.
Minimum 5 years of experience in supplier management, supplier development, or supplier quality engineering.
Demonstrated experience implementing process improvement initiatives within manufacturing environments.
Proven ability to resolve complex tooling, process, and mechanical compatibility issues directly within supplier manufacturing operations.
Strong root-cause analysis and corrective action skills.
Ability to travel to supplier facilities approximately 10–20% of the time.
Preferred Qualifications
