• Be Everywhere Quality Matters – Travel regularly to supplier sites in the Seattle, Portland, and Spokane areas, with only occasional U.S. trips as needed.
• Advocate for Customers – Represent the voice of our customers inside every manufacturing partner conversation.

Desired Traits, Qualifications, Education and Experience Equivalency

• 5+ years in supplier-facing quality engineering, preferably in mechanical hardware or components
• Strong mix of relationship-building and accountability with suppliers
• A process-driven mindset—you think in systems, not quick fixes
• Ability to make decisions with limited data while keeping business outcomes in mind
• Experience with ISO 9001, AS9100, or structured quality systems
• Strong communicator—comfortable onsite, remote, and cross-functional

Why You’ll Love Working Here
