Supplier Industrialization Engineer (SIE) – Mechanical & Electromechanical

Focus: Mechanical, Top-Level Assembly (TLA) & Motor Manufacturing

About the Role

We are seeking a Supplier Industrialization Engineer (SIE) to scale mechanical and electromechanical manufacturing from prototype through high-volume global production. This role acts as a technical bridge between engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain, driving DFM/DFA, supplier readiness, automation, and quality execution.

Experience in motor manufacturing (winding, lamination stack, soldering, electromechanical assemblies) is highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities:

Supplier Development & Industrialization

• Qualify, audit, and develop global suppliers for:
• Motors and magnetic assemblies (winding, insulation, balancing)
• Thermal systems (heat pipes, fans, housings)
• Injection, blow, and foam molding
• High-volume metal processes (die casting, forging, stamping, sheet metal)
• Precision assemblies (cameras, sensors, antennas)
• Lead supplier readiness from NPI through mass production
• Drive tooling strategy, automation readiness, and yield improvement

Quality & Compliance

• Own supplier quality systems (ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949)
• Lead pFMEA, SPC, PPAP, DOE, and Gage R&R activities
• Investigate factory and field issues; drive root cause and corrective actions
• Use statistical tools (JMP, Minitab, R/Python) to track performance and reduce defects
• Manufacturing Readiness & Process Optimization
• Partner with design teams to embed DFM/DFA early in development
• Optimize process flows for motor and electromechanical assemblies
• Define semi-automated and fully automated manufacturing lines
• Develop End-of-Line (EOL) testing and in-process inspection strategies

Qualifications

• 7+ years in Supplier Industrialization, Supplier Quality, or Manufacturing Engineering
• Strong hands-on experience with:
• Motor manufacturing (winding, lamination, soldering)
• Electromechanical assemblies
• High-volume mechanical production
• Solid understanding of tooling, fixtures, and GD&T
• Experience with NPI ramp, supplier audits, and process qualification
• Proficiency in CAD tools (NX, SolidWorks, or equivalent)
• Data-driven mindset with strong statistical analysis capability
• Effective communicator across engineering, operations, and supplier teams

This position offers a hands-on opportunity to directly impact manufacturing scalability, quality, and production readiness across complex mechanical and electromechanical systems, working closely with global suppliers and cross-functional teams.
