Summary:
As a Supplier Quality Engineer, you'll be the critical link between our suppliers and our manufacturing operations. You'll own the quality of incoming materials and components, manage supplier deviations, support the qualification of hot gas path and post cast processes, and drive continuous improvement with our supply base.
This is a high-visibility role where your decisions directly impact product reliability, safety, and customer satisfaction. You'll collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, and supplier teams to ensure we're building with the best — every single time.
Responsibilities:
- Supplier Deviation Request (SDR) Management:

- Evaluate supplier deviations for engineering acceptability and assess risk to product performance
- Collaborate with design engineering, materials, and manufacturing teams to drive timely SDR resolution
- Track SDR metrics and identify trends to proactively reduce repeat deviations
- Ensure SDR documentation meets regulatory and internal quality standards
- Hot Gas Path Qualifications:
- Assist in the qualification of hot gas path components, ensuring they meet stringent performance and safety requirements
- Support post cast qualification activities including dimensional inspections, metallurgical evaluations, and process validation
- Review and approve supplier qualification documentation packages
- Partner with engineering teams to define qualification criteria.
- Monitor ongoing supplier performance against qualified process parameters
- Supplier Returns & Corrective Actions:
- Manage the supplier return process for non-conforming materials and components
- Conduct root cause analysis investigations in partnership with suppliers
- Initiate and track Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCARs) to drive accountability
- Verify effectiveness of corrective actions and validate closure of quality escapes
- Maintain accurate return and non-conformance records for audit readiness
- Additional Quality Engineering Responsibilities:
- Conduct supplier audits and assessments (on-site and remote) to evaluate quality systems
- Support new supplier onboarding and qualification activities
- Participate in cross-functional teams for new product introduction (NPI) quality planning
- Drive supplier quality improvement initiatives using Six Sigma, 8D, and lean methodologies
- Contribute to continuous improvement of internal quality processes and tools
Qualifications:
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Materials, Industrial, Manufacturing, or related field) (Supply Chain)
- Experience: 1+ years in supplier quality engineering, quality assurance, or a closely related manufacturing quality role
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you can translate technical findings into actionable supplier feedback
- Software: Proficiency with quality data tools (e.g., SAP QM, Minitab, or similar) and Microsoft Office Suite
- Travel: Willingness to travel to supplier sites as needed (estimated 10% or less)
