Conducting supplier audits and assessments, managing PPAP submission and approval processes, driving supplier corrective actions on non-conformances, developing supplier quality performance metrics, supporting new supplier qualification, and working with engineering and procurement on supplier development.
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, 3–6 years of supplier quality engineering experience, PPAP/APQP expertise, and audit experience to the relevant standard (IATF 16949, AS9100, or ISO 9001). Travel to supplier sites is required in most SQE roles.
SQEs who have managed a supplier through a quality system upgrade — not just assessed and reported their status — demonstrate a development orientation that creates more durable supply chain quality improvement than audit-only approaches.
