Supplier Quality Engineer

This is how you make an Impact

As a Supplier Quality Engineer, you are responsible for translating our quality requirements to our suppliers. You are also involved in setting up and monitoring quality inspections of incoming products.

If unexpected quality issues arise, you take the right actions to resolve them as quickly as possible—both short‑term and structurally. By performing analyses, for example using the 8D methodology, you identify the root cause. You discuss this with the supplier and ensure that processes are adjusted to prevent recurrence.

Root cause analyses are often carried out within an improvement team that you lead.
