As a Supplier Industrialization Engineer (SIE) focused on Mechanical and Top-Level Assembly (TLA) you will play a mission-critical role in scaling manufacturing supply chain from prototype to high-volume global production. Youll serve as a technical bridge between engineering and supply chain embedding DFM/DFA best practices into the design process while driving supplier selection tooling development automation strategy and quality assurance.
This role requires deep technical expertise across a broad spectrum of mechanical and electromechanical commoditiesincluding motors magnetics thermal management systems (heat pipes fans housings) cameras antennas injection-molded plastics and high-volume metal fabrication (casting forging stamping and sheet metal). Youll work with suppliers around the world to ensure high-yield scalable processes that meet rigorous safety and quality standards.
What Youll Do
Supplier Development & Selection
- Audit qualify and manage global suppliers across a wide range of manufacturing processes including:Motor winding magnetic assemblies and thermal components such as heat exchangers heat sinks fans and ductsInjection and blow molding vacuum forming and foam molding for plastic and elastomeric partsHigh-volume metal forming processes including die casting forging sheet metal forming and stampingPrecision assemblies for cameras sensors and aerospace-grade antennasEvaluate supplier capability to support automation tight tolerance control and consistent quality in both prototyping and full-rate with cross-functional teams to define supplier selection criteria that support both technical requirements and cost targets. Quality & Compliance
- Own quality systems implementation with suppliersensuring compliance with ISO9001 AS9100 and IATF16949 development and execution of pFMEA SPC PPAP and process control documentation tailored to each commodity Design of Experiments (DOE) and Gage R&R studies to validate supplier capability in thermal system performance magnet alignment plastic part shrinkage and casting dimensional JMP Minitab or R to analyze manufacturing trends monitor yield performance and drive defect field and test issues related to motors thermal components or sensor modules working with suppliers on root cause analysis and corrective actions. Process Optimization & Manufacturing Readiness
- Partner with engineering to apply DFM/DFA early in designwith special focus on parting lines wall thickness cooling paths tolerances and fastener strategies across all materials and assembly and optimize process flows for key assemblies that integrate motors heat management elements and electromechanical and lead semi-automated and fully automated processes for component manufacturing and top-level integration including for camera and sensor modules magnetic assemblies and foam-molded aircraft robust End-of-Line (EOL) testing strategies:Collaborate with automation teams to implement robotic assembly cells and in-line test stations for cost-efficient scalable production.
What Youll Bring
- 7 years of experience in Supplier Industrialization Supplier Quality or Manufacturing Engineering for mechanical and electromechanical systems such as:
- Motors and magnetic assemblies (including winding insulation dynamic balancing)Thermal systems such as heat pipes fans housings and thermal interfacesInjection molding vacuum forming and foam moldingHigh-volume metal production: die casting stamping forging and sheet metalCameras sensors and RF-based components (e.g. antennas)
- Strong understanding of fixture design tooling development and DFM for high-throughput precision manufacturing
- Hands-on experience with NPI ramp supplier audits and automated process qualification
- Proficiency in GD&T and 3D CAD tools (e.g. NX SolidWorks)
- Experience with EOL testing development and in-process inspection systems for critical parts
- Data-first mindsetconfident using statistical tools (JMP Minitab Python) to drive root cause and quality tracking
- Exceptional cross-functional communicator able to lead conversations across engineering operations and external supplier teams
