• Experience supporting tooling, PPAP, supplier qualification, or production line validation
• Experience with quality systems required

Required Skills

• Hands-on understanding of manufacturing and production processes
• Ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, less structured manufacturing environments
• Strong documentation and communication skills (written and verbal)
• Experience creating SOPs, conducting inspections, and auditing manufacturing facilities
• Problem-solving mindset with strong technical curiosity
• Ability to work cross-functionally and independently in the field
• Comfortable spending significant time on manufacturing floors and supplier sites
• Travel readiness: Willingness to travel approximately 30–40%
