Supplier Quality Engineer Surveillance
spacex, Hawthorne, California, United States, 90250
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
SUPPLIER QUALITY ENGINEER - SURVEILLANCE
The supply chain team is responsible for the sourcing, planning, procurement, warehousing, and transportation of all raw materials and components needed to build our revolutionary spacecraft and launch vehicles. Our mission is to get the right part in the right place at the right time, every time. The quality assurance, surveillance team is chartered with global quality surveillance of the supply base, reducing supply chain risk through assessing and monitoring suppliers, and proactively driving needed supplier improvements. As a supplier quality engineer, you would ensure suppliers are assessed to determine if they continue to meet SpaceX technical and production requirements. You would review performance, identify gaps and opportunities around the processes used to manage supplier audits, corrective/preventive actions, and supply chain steering committee reviews. You would be responsible to identify and prioritize opportunities for improvement, and work with team members to lead the resulting projects to completion. As supplier surveillance activities deal with suppliers that support all areas of SpaceX, you would build an extensive network within design engineering, build reliability, production, and supply chain management, and a deep understanding of SpaceX systems and processes. This experience would enable you to become a critical voice in the development of group and company strategy. To be successful, you will need: A willingness to roll up your sleeves and step into chaotic situations, using technical knowledge to understand the current state and most optimal path forward The ability to conduct formal and informal supplier audits and process reviews The capability to succinctly communicate status and needed action, often urgently, to all levels of the organization An ability to create and refine ideas or solutions to problems, communicating the benefits of change, and keeping related projects on track RESPONSIBILITIES: Perform final review and approval of supplier audits and corrective/preventive actions Investigate and determine suitable leveling path for suppliers, recommending the appropriate actions to supply chain commodity teams Serve as the supplier evaluation interface with other cross-functional groups, which includes supporting supplier onboarding requests and maintaining supplier maintenance adherence to quality policies Analyze audit and corrective/preventive actions data to drive supplier improvements Conduct and improve existing supplier orientation and training process for new and current suppliers Develop policies, standards, processes, and documentation as necessary to ensure continued success BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Completed bachelor’s degree in an engineering field 2+ years of experience in supply chain, engineering, or quality related field PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Master’s degree engineering or supply chain Experience with AS9100 or similar quality management system standard QMS (Quality Management Systems) and process audit experience Previous experience working with suppliers, corrective/preventive action systems, supplier portals Experience in quality engineering, auditing, quality management system development Knowledge of supplier quality processes (production part approval process, advanced product quality planning, first article inspection reports, etc.) Disciplined approach to problem solving - 8D Good written, oral, and presentation skills Ability to operate autonomously and self-direct Preferred skills or experience include: SQL, software development & project management, process flow mapping, material planning systems, warehouse management systems, lean production environments, six sigma training ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Position may involve long hours and weekend work as needed Position may involve up to 50% travel as needed ITAR REQUIREMENTS: To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
