Senior Supplier Quality Engineer

List at least two comparative wins for this role over another that someone might consider. Example follows.

Opportunity To Unlock Your Creativity
Think of all the times you were held back from trying new ideas because you were boxed in by bureaucratic legacy processes or old school tactics. Having a growth mindset is deeply ingrained into our company culture since day 1 so Fictiv is an environment where you have the creative liberty and support of the team to try big bold ideas to achieve our sales and customer goals.

Opportunity To Grow Your Career
At Fictiv, you'll be surrounded by supportive teammates who will push you to be your best through their curiosity and passion.

In this role, you’ll be using your supplier quality engineering background in mechanical hardware production, leveraging your manufacturing process knowledge and structured problem solving skills, to resolve issues and to continually drive improvements.

The role is very hands-on, with frequent travel to our Indian manufacturing partners expected. Additionally, you will maintain contact between visits using remote working practices such as virtual audits. At Fictiv, we believe a robust network of manufacturing partners is essential for creating and maintaining the world’s premier platform for hardware manufacturing, and you’ll be playing a critical role in making that happen.

You will be instrumental in giving customers the confidence that Fictiv manages the manufacturing of parts even better than they would.

You will report to the U.S. Quality Manager.
