Senior Supplier Quality Engineer

Introduction to the job

As a Supplier Quality Engineer within Strategic Sourcing & Procurement, you will lead supplier part industrialization in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary development environment, supporting Development & Engineering projects from early supplier involvement through readiness for volume production.

You will combine hands‑on technical expertise with leadership of complex industrialization projects and supplier improvement activities. Working closely with suppliers and ASML development teams, you will translate product requirements into robust manufacturing processes, resolve capability gaps, and secure part quality and timely delivery in alignment with the ASML project plan.

Role and responsibilities

Within Strategic Sourcing & Procurement, the SQE owns industrialization status and manufacturing readiness for assigned parts. You will independently lead complex supplier quality and industrialization activities, challenge supplier readiness, and drive decisions with Engineering, Supplier Account Teams (SAT), and Quality Supplier Managers (QSM). You will remain directly involved in technical assessments and problem solving while guiding stakeholders toward agreed project outcomes.

The main responsibilities are:

• Lead SQE activities and deliverables within assigned projects, coordinating contributions from other SQEs and cross‑functional stakeholders. Establish priorities, milestones, and action owners, and drive timely closure of issues affecting NPI deliverables.

• Lead supplier part industrialization through new product introduction (NPI) and ramp‑up. Assess supplier NPI readiness with the SAT and contribute technical and manufacturing input to supplier selection.

• Drive early supplier involvement in development projects. Incorporate supplier manufacturing and prototype feedback into design decisions to address manufacturability risks before qualification and volume release.

• Define and align the part Statement of Work (SoW) with Engineering, the SAT, and suppliers, covering development and volume manufacturing requirements, deliverables, and responsibilities.

• Ensure part quality, manufacturability, and serviceability requirements are addressed during design, including critical‑to‑quality (CTQ) requirements, design risk assessments, and lessons learned.

• Own and drive part qualification and manufacturing readiness deliverables in the ASML product generation process, including:

• Supplier acceptance of specifications and designs, with clear manufacturing requirements

• Complete part and process qualification plans, including risk mitigation and capability validation

• Acceptance of qualified parts and documented industrialization status, with open issues resolved or assigned to agreed owners for the SQE‑QSM transfer

• Manufacturing process flows, process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA), CTQs, and control plans

• First article inspection, test coverage, measurement system analysis, and process capability evidence

• Drive resolution of NPI manufacturing and quality issues, including deviation approvals, containment, root cause analysis, and corrective and preventive actions. Maintain configuration and change management interfaces, monitor part quality disturbances with QSM, and verify that actions prevent recurrence.

• Assess supplier manufacturing processes and identify capability gaps affecting quality, technology, delivery, or cost. Drive part‑related improvement plans with suppliers and SAT stakeholders, coach suppliers on process control and quality maturity, and escal ...

The SQE is part of cross‑functional development project teams and interfaces with project leaders, design engineers, architects, manufacturing and customer support engineers, logistics, procurement, and suppliers.
