Senior Supplier Quality Engineer

To pivot this to a Senior Supplier Quality Engineer (5+ years) focusing on systems and electronics, we need to shift the language from "chemical/structural" to "functional/electronic." The focus here is on integration, signal integrity, and high-reliability electromechanical systems.

Here is the revised version tailored for Avionics, Wiring, and Systems:

What You Bring

• Senior Systems Ownership: 5+ years of experience in Supplier Quality or Manufacturing Engineering, with a specific focus on Integrated Flight Control Systems (FCS), Environmental Control Systems (ECS), and high-complexity avionics suites.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Aerospace, or Systems Engineering. You understand the "why" behind signal integrity and system logic.

• Electronics & Harness Credibility: Deep technical knowledge of IPC-620 (Wire Harness) and IPC-A-610 (PCB/PCBA) standards. You can walk a supplier’s floor and identify risks in automated wire processing, crimp integrity, and soldering of flight-critical components.

• Functional Testing Mastery: Proven ability to troubleshoot "box-level" issues on-site, from Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) to complex Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) and functional bench testing.

• APQP for Systems: Strong command of AS9145 (APQP/PPAP). You know how to ensure a supplier’s "Black Box" meets all requirements through robust Design Verification and Process Validation.

• Technical Bridge-Building: Ability to act as the primary link between Design Engineering and the supply base, ensuring that Low Voltage (LV) requirements and avionics integration needs are clearly communicated and verified.

Desired Experience

• Avionics & Flight Deck: Experience managing suppliers for cockpit displays, LRUs (Line Replaceable Units), and flight-critical sensors.

• System Integration: Familiarity with the installation and testing of Environmental Control Systems (ECS), including ducting, sensors, and thermal management hardware.

• Certification Pedigree: Previous experience supporting FAA/EASA Type Certification (TC), specifically regarding DO-178C (Software) or DO-254 (Hardware) quality oversight.

• Harness Scaling: Expertise in evaluating supplier capacity for complex wire harness manufacturing, including the transition from manual builds to automated testing/form-boarding at rate.

• Digital Traceability: Experience using PLM and ERP systems to manage complex BOMs (Bill of Materials) and ensure serial-number-level traceability across the electronics supply chain.
