* Engineering Expertise: Apply your engineering expertise to challenge supplier processes using a risk-based approach. This includes design reviews, Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), control plans (CP), and Statistical Process Controls (SPC) applied to selected manufacturing technologies.
* Strategic Contribution: Assist in guiding or shaping future Supplier Quality Strategies and support the development of other supplier quality engineers in both technical growth and supplier quality fundamentals. You'll apply your domain depth to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions (WIs), and templates to improve standard work and operational rigor within the function.
