Responsibilities:
- Lead the Quality organization to support manufacturing stabilization, supplier transitions, and customer protection activities.
- Establish and maintain strong quality governance across incoming material, in-process controls, final inspection, product release, and customer shipment readiness.
- Ensure supplier changes, material changes, process changes, and product qualifications are managed through proper change control, risk assessment, validation, APQP and PPAP processes.
- Lead supplier qualification and supplier development activities, including audits, performance monitoring, corrective actions, and PPAP readiness.
- Ensure incoming materials from critical suppliers are properly controlled, inspected, traceable, and approved before use in customer products.
