OverviewThe Supplier Process Engineer is responsible for evaluating and improving processes and products related to surface treatments, precision cleaning, and micro-contamination control. This role serves as the primary point of contact (SPOC) between Supply Chain, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Suppliers, driving supplier development, quality improvements, and new product/process introduction.Key Responsibilities
  • Serve as the primary interface (SPOC) for supply chain projects involving surface treatment and fabrication suppliers
  • Lead supplier-related initiatives including process development, failure analysis (FA), and customer escalations related to contamination (inorganic, organic, particle) and material issues
  • Ensure supplier manufacturing processes are capable of producing reliable, repeatable products
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Supply Chain, Engineering, Manufacturing, Field Service, and Suppliers) during new product and process development
  • Manage supplier selection, qualification, and performance through site visits, audits, and ongoing evaluations
  • Design and execute experiments; analyze data and provide actionable recommendations
  • Apply structured problem-solving methodologies to define issues, assess risks, and drive resolution (e.g., 8D, 5 Whys, RCCA)
  • Implement process control techniques (e.g., Six Sigma) to improve production efficiency and product quality
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
  • 4+ years of experience (BS) or 2+ years (MS) in process development, manufacturing engineering, or supplier engineering
  • Experience in precision cleaning, surface treatment, and/or metal fabrication processes; semiconductor industry experience preferred
  • Hands-on experience with failure analysis and contamination control (inorganic, organic, particle)
  • Working knowledge of:
    • GD&T
    • Statistical Process Control (SPC)
    • Design of Experiments (DOE)
    • Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
    • Root Cause Analysis (RCCA, 8D, 5 Whys)
  • Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Experience leading cross-functional projects and driving issue resolution
  • Ability to travel within the U.S.
Preferred Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in precision cleaning and metal fabrication within high-volume manufacturing (semiconductor preferred)
