    We're looking for a Supplier Quality Engineer with approximately 1–2 years of quality, manufacturing, engineering, or related technical experience who is ready to grow their career in supplier quality.

    Oakwood Group is looking for someone with a solid foundation, strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the curiosity and initiative to continue learning.

    In this role, you'll work directly with suppliers and our Purchasing, Engineering, Production, and Quality teams to solve quality issues, support new program launches, and improve supplier performance. You'll gain hands-on experience across supplier quality while making a visible impact on our manufacturing operations and customers.

    What You'll Do

    • Support and manage supplier corrective actions, investigate quality concerns, and apply structured problem-solving methods to identify root causes and prevent recurrence.
    • Support PPAP activities, new program launches, and engineering changes.
    • Participate in supplier audits and process reviews.
    • Monitor supplier quality performance and work with suppliers to improve results.
    • Partner with Purchasing, Production, Engineering, Quality, and suppliers to resolve quality issues.
    • Travel to supplier locations as needed to investigate concerns and support improvement activities.

    • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
    • Approximately 1–2 years of experience in quality, manufacturing, engineering, or a related technical role.
    • Basic knowledge of auditing principles and structured problem-solving methods, with an interest in continuing to develop these skills.
    • Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to investigate issues, ask thoughtful questions, and work toward practical solutions.
    • Curiosity and an aptitude for learning new concepts, processes, and quality tools.
    • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
    • Strong organization, follow-through, accountability, and attention to detail.
    • Ability to work effectively with suppliers and cross-functional manufacturing teams.
    • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
    • Ability to travel up to 40%.
