Position Summary :

We are in the early stages of setting up our U.S. EV component manufacturing operations and are looking for a hands-on, system-minded Supplier Quality Engineer (SQE) . This role will be critical in building supplier quality processes, identifying defects on-site, and actively driving resolution and charge-back with suppliers particularly those based in China and Thailand .

The ideal candidate is not just a reviewer but an active on-the-ground owner , who discovers problems early, escalates with facts, and follows through until resolution . A proactive attitude, strong ownership mindset, and willingness to work flexibly including Saturdays are essential.

Key Responsibilities :

1 / Build Supplier Quality Infrastructure

  • Take care of the supplier evaluation, change management and drive the CIP on quality.
  • Support integration into ERP / SAP or manual processes during setup phase.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, warehouse, and procurement to define inspection and defect handoff procedures.
  • 2 / Lead On-Site Defect Discovery & Response

  • Conduct daily line walks and warehouse audits to actively identify supplier-related defects .
  • Immediately isolate issues, trace root causes, and initiate feedback to suppliers with clear documentation (photo, lot, defect rate, etc.).
  • Ensure quick turnaround and follow-up on defect impact, disposition, and closure.
  • 3 / Supplier Coordination (China & Thailand Focus)

  • Serve as the main quality interface with overseas vendors.
  • Conduct bilingual (or assisted) quality reviews and document control (PPAP, FA, CP, PFMEA).
  • Host or join calls outside regular U.S. hours, and escalate urgent issues even during weekends if required.
  • 4 / Defect Accountability & Charge-Back

  • Maintain real-time defect logs and COPQ (cost of poor quality) records.
  • Calculate and initiate supplier charge-backs based on defect impact (rework, scrap, downtime, shipping).
  • Coordinate with procurement and finance to ensure transparent, evidence-based claim process .
  • Track monthly charge-back recovery status and push for long-term improvements from suppliers.
  • 5 / Continuous Improvement & Project Support

  • Analyze recurring issues, propose preventive actions, and verify effectiveness.
  • Participate in supplier qualification, project ramp-ups, and ECN readiness reviews.
  • Prepare supplier quality scorecards and recommend sourcing decisions where needed.
  • Basic Qualifications :

  • Bachelors degree in engineering or related field.
  • 5+ years experience in SQE, supplier development, or quality engineering.
  • Familiar with APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, 8D, and ISO / IATF quality systems.
  • Strong track record working with Chinese and / or Thai suppliers.
  • High initiative, strong communication skills, and ability to push accountability without escalation.
  • Willingness to work flexible hours and on Saturdays when business needs require.
  • Preferred Skills :

  • Mandarin or Thai language ability is a strong plus.
  • Prior experience in EV parts (busbar, battery components, machining, or PCBA).
  • Experience in charge-back, COPQ analysis, and supplier contract claim handling.
  • Familiarity with SAP or MES systems(or other similar one).
  • What We Offer :

  • Opportunity to shape the supplier quality system from the ground up.
  • Cross-cultural and cross-border project ownership.
  • Competitive compensation and potential for fast growth in a fast-scaling operation.
