Evaluate suppliers' Quality Management Systems (QMS) to verify alignment with safety, operational, regulatory, and industry-specific requirements.
Manage audit schedules, develop and maintain audit checklists, and prepare audit reports detailing findings, observations, and corrective actions required.
Collaborate with suppliers to implement corrective actions and drive continuous improvement based on audit results.
Support external third-party QMS audits and ensure proper documentation, record-keeping, and preparation.

Document Control and Regulatory Compliance:

Maintain quality documentation, including PPAP records, corrective action plans (CAPA), audit reports, and calibration logs.
Ensure document control compliance as part of QMS processes, including revision control, proper storage, and accessibility.
Assist suppliers in achieving compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks, such as REACH, RoHS, and Conflict Minerals standards.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Industrial Engineering, Quality Assurance, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
Experience: Minimum 5 years in Supplier Quality Engineering, PPAP coordination, internal auditing, and/or similar quality assurance roles.
Direct experience with QMS standards such as ISO 9001, AS9100.
Demonstrated knowledge of PPAP processes, including FMEA, process validation methods, and control plans.
Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
Experience with quality management software, ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle), and document control platforms.
Understanding of engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).

Preferred Qualifications

Professional certifications such as Certified Quality Auditor (CQA), Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) or Six Sigma Green/Black Belt.
Auditor certification for ISO 9001, AS9100, or other relevant standards.
Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma principles.
Experience in supplier development and performance metrics reporting.

Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as REACH, RoHS, Conflict Minerals, or other industry-specific requirements.
Excellent problem-solving abilities utilizing methodologies like 8D, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and CAPA.
Proficient in QMS auditing principles and techniques.
