Supplier Quality Engineer

No Sponsorship or C2C

We’re partnering with a leading autonomous ride-hailing company to hire a Supplier Quality Engineer to support supplier quality, manufacturing readiness, and continuous improvement across prototype and production vehicle programs.

This is a high-impact role supporting the development and industrialization of next-generation autonomous mobility systems. You’ll work cross-functionally with Engineering, Sourcing, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to ensure suppliers meet world-class standards from design through start of production.

• Partner with Vehicle Systems Engineering and Strategic Sourcing to evaluate manufacturability and support supplier selection
• Conduct supplier audits, technical assessments, and manufacturability reviews during early design phases
• Collaborate with suppliers on CAD reviews, drawings, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) optimization
• Lead Supplier Industrialization Roadmap (SIR) activities including tooling validation, process capability, and production readiness
• Manage APQP and PPAP processes from design through SOP
• Drive RCCA (Root Cause Corrective Action) investigations and support containment and long-term corrective actions
• Analyze supplier quality metrics (FAI, SPC, Cp/Cpk, Pareto) to identify trends and drive improvements
• Support MRB activities and disposition of nonconforming supplier material
• Improve supplier quality systems using lean manufacturing and quality engineering principles
• Travel domestically and internationally up to 40%

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or related field
• 8+ years of experience in Supplier Quality, Manufacturing, or Quality Engineering
• Strong automotive, aerospace, or medical device manufacturing background preferred
• Hands‑on experience with NPI (New Product Introduction)
• Deep knowledge of APQP, PPAP, and supplier development processes
• Experience with manufacturing processes such as:
• Electromechanical assemblies
• Strong understanding of GD&T, tooling validation, and fixture qualification
• Proficiency with quality tools (Six Sigma, 8D, FMEA, SPC, MSA, DOE, Fishbone, etc.)
• Experience with ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 environments preferred
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)

• CQE (ASQ), Six Sigma Green Belt, or Quality Auditor certifications
• Experience in automotive interiors/exteriors (seating systems, A-class surfaces, high cosmetic requirements)
• Background in autonomous vehicle, EV, or advanced mobility programs
• Experience with supplier portals and global supply base management

This is a rare opportunity to directly support the launch of cutting‑edge autonomous vehicle technology in a highly collaborative, fast‑paced engineering environment. You’ll play a key role in ensuring supplier excellence from prototype through production while influencing the quality systems behind next‑generation mobility.
