About the role

A future low-cost, low-carbon electric grid, serving a world that electrifies everything, is within our reach.
The last remaining gap is breaking the link between electricity supply and demand.
The lowest-cost, most sustainable sources of energy today come from intermittent renewable generation; but our homes, businesses and industries need electricity at the flick of a switch.

Develop, qualify, and maintain suppliers to ensure reliable delivery of quality materials, components, and assemblies.
Support supplier qualification activities, including First Article Inspection, PPAP or equivalent validation processes, capability studies, and production readiness reviews.
Work with suppliers to identify root causes of defects, implement corrective and preventive actions, and drive sustainable quality improvements.
Lead supplier quality initiatives focused on process stability, yield improvement, cost reduction, capacity readiness, and risk mitigation.
Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Operations, and Sourcing teams to ensure supplier capabilities align with business requirements and product specifications.
Support new product introduction and engineering change activities by ensuring suppliers are prepared to meet technical, schedule, and quality expectations.
Drive cost reduction initiatives with suppliers through process improvement, value engineering, waste reduction, and manufacturability improvements.
Identify supplier risks and develop mitigation plans to protect continuity of supply and support operational performance.

Minimum of 5 years of experience in supplier quality, manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, or process improvement.
Experience working with suppliers in a manufacturing environment, preferably involving complex components, assemblies, or engineered products.
Demonstrated knowledge of quality systems, supplier audits, root cause analysis, corrective action planning, statistical process control, and process capability.
Experience supporting supplier qualification and validation activities such as FAI, PPAP, control plans, inspection plans, capability studies, or equivalent processes.
Familiarity with lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, value engineering, and continuous improvement methodologies.
Experience supporting suppliers in energy storage, power electronics, industrial equipment, electrical systems, or other technically complex manufacturing sectors.
Working knowledge of ISO 9001, IATF 16949, IPC standards, UL/CSA requirements, or other relevant quality and regulatory standards.
Experience conducting supplier capacity assessments, production readiness reviews, and manufacturing process audits.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, bills of materials, test requirements, and quality documentation.
Experience supporting supplier corrective action requests, 8D problem solving, and supplier escalation processes.

Electrical Engineering preferred.
Candidates with demonstrated expertise in electrical systems, including PCBA, wiring harnesses, cabling, electrical assemblies, power electronics, or related manufacturing processes, will be preferred.
