Sr. Supplier Quality Engineer PCBA

Staff Supplier Quality Engineer PCB/PCBA

Malaysia- Full-time

About the Role:

Insightfully designed manufacturing processes and fully qualified supplier relationships are critical elements in bringing tightly integrated sophisticated electromechanical systems to major markets. As a member of SCRGs Supplier Quality Engineering team youll work with our clients Product Design Manufacturing Supply Chain and Quality teams and interface with current and potential suppliers to improve and strengthen the performance of the supplier base to meet our clients increasing production volume & quality needs for key drone subsystems.

How Youll Make an Impact:

• Conduct supplier assessments and on-site audits to evaluate PCB PCBA and electronics manufacturing suppliers quality systems process controls and overall production capabilities.
• Partner with Electrical Manufacturing and Design Engineers throughout the Hardware Product Development Process to ensure robust quality planning manufacturability testability and supplier readiness for new product introductions and volume production.
• Drive supplier qualification activities including process audits First Article Inspections (FAI) Production Validation Builds (PVT) and manufacturing readiness reviews to ensure compliance with our clients design reliability and quality requirements.
• Lead supplier quality planning during prototype pre-production and mass production phases including control plans PFMEAs process validations and outgoing quality strategies to minimize incoming inspection and maximize field reliability.
• Manage supplier corrective action requests (SCARs) 8D investigations containment actions and root cause analysis efforts to rapidly resolve quality issues and drive systemic improvements.
• Develop and maintain supplier scorecards and key performance indicators (KPIs) focused on quality reliability yield and responsiveness driving continuous improvement initiatives toward zero defects.
• Analyze manufacturing and field quality data to identify trends assess supplier performance and proactively mitigate risks related to PCB fabrication SMT assembly component quality and electronic system reliability.
• Collaborate with suppliers to implement robust inspection test and process control methodologies that ensure consistent product quality and long-term process capability.
