We are hiring a Supplier Quality Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of quality for mechanical and electromechanical commodities — including speakers, antennas, cables, connectors, and motors — across a supplier base spanning Mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam and the Philippines, supporting product lines such as Amazon Echo smart speakers, Project Leo satellite broadband terminals, Kindle e-readers, and Fire tablets. This role focuses on four core areas of work: - New Product Introduction (NPI): Lead new supplier qualification audits, partner with Hardware and Signal-Integrity Design on DFM/DFA reviews, develop manufacturing processes (stamping, plating, injection, crimping, extrusion), drive PPAP management, and validate process capability (Cpk/Ppk), high-speed signal integrity, and reliability test— owning every quality gate before next milestone - Mass Production: production audit, monitor SPC data (crimp force, plating thickness, impedance) and identify abnormal trends early; drive continuous-improvement projects (DMAIC) to reduce DPPM and Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ); manage supplier 5M1E changes and quality-impact assessment of ECN/PCN — especially raw-material substitution - Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with Final Assembly Test & Pack (FATP) IQC teams, US headquarters Hardware R&D / SI Engineers, Asia Sourcing, Reliability, Compliance, and Finance to drive bidirectional optimization between design and process; establish IQC standards, SCAR routing, and escalation paths - Field Issue Resolution & Crisis Response: Respond rapidly to line-down events, ship-holds, and customer field issues — driving containment, root-cause analysis, and 8D closure, including the complex non-reproducible, multi-impacting-factor defect escapes; plan ahead for predictable disruptions such as Spring Festival, typhoon season, and tariff volatility
