As a valued member of the Supplier Quality Team, the Supplier Quality Technician plays a key role in supporting manufacturing operations through effective collaboration with cross-functional teams and independent execution of quality-related activities.

This position is responsible for maintaining, analyzing, and reporting supplier quality data; coordinating and performing material containment, inspections, and sorting activities; and managing the disposition of non-conforming materials.

The Supplier Quality Technician helps ensure product quality, minimize production disruptions, and drive continuous improvement initiatives while supporting supplier quality objectives.

You will work cross-functionally with managers, engineers, supervisors, technicians, and production employees as you own and manage issues with purchased components within the assigned production areas and processes.

As a result, the Global Supplier Quality team depends on the Supplier Quality Technician to efficiently and effectively carry out such tactical and factory-related activities to support continual improvement and the ongoing quality of factory production as related to procured components and assemblies.
