Quality Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities

Supplier Transition & Exit Support

• Support the exit program by enabling the transition of PCB assemblies from suppliers.
• Coordinate with incumbent suppliers to obtain complete and accurate

  as-built documentation

  , including

  Gerbers, BOMs, COC, FAIR, and test data

  .
• Validate the completeness, accuracy, and manufacturability of as-built PCB documentation prior to supplier transition.

Technical Review & Validation

• Review PCB designs, fabrication drawings, stack-ups, and specifications for compliance with engineering standards.
• Perform first-pass technical reviews of

  EQs (Engineering Questions)

  from suppliers, identifying gaps, risks, cost drivers, and technical clarifications.
• Ensure PCB designs are producible at new suppliers without performance, reliability, or compliance risks.

Supplier Engagement & Collaboration

• Act as the technical interface between internal teams and external PCB suppliers during the transition process.
• Work closely with Supplier Engineering, Sourcing, and Program teams to resolve technical queries and clarify supplier responses.
• Provide clear technical summaries, recommendations, and risk assessments to internal stakeholders

Documentation & Communication

• Prepare concise technical summaries and clarification notes covering PCB design intent, supplier feedback, risks, and mitigation plans.
• Maintain structured documentation for each transition to support audits, approvals, and long-term knowledge retention.
• Support internal reviews and decision-making by providing data-driven technical inputs.

Quality, Compliance & Risk Management

• Ensure compliance with quality requirements, industry standards, and regulatory expectations during supplier transitions.
• Identify technical risks related to PCB fabrication, materials, stack-ups, tolerances, and testing; propose mitigation strategies early.
• Support FAIR reviews and resolution of discrepancies with suppliers.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Collaborate with Supplier Engineering, Commodity Management, Quality, and Program teams to ensure smooth execution of transitions.
• Support approval workflows by providing technical inputs required for leadership and management signoffs.
