Job Description

Responsibilities include ensuring the quality of received components by reviewing supplier-provided data against drawing requirements. This involves generating reports on supplier quality by monitoring their defect rates and identifying areas that could lead to potential flaws, as well as guiding suppliers to reduce these defect rates. Additionally, the role involves researching potential vendors, assessing their manufacturing environments, practices, and procedures, and conducting supplier quality control audits to ensure compliance with organizational policies and quality certifications such as ISO and NADCAP. Supporting suppliers in improving their performance through process enhancements, implementing process controls, and developing quality assurance plans is also part of the responsibilities. Furthermore, the role requires reading blueprints and understanding GD&T.
