Supplier Development Engineer, Electrical
What You Will Be Doing:
We are hiring a Supplier Development Engineer to work with suppliers to make parts for fusion generators. You will solve technical problems, develop our supplier's quality systems, and accelerate Helion's transition from rapid prototyping to mass generator manufacturing, thus delivering on Helion's mission of providing clean electricity to the planet. This role requires an onsite presence and you will report to our Senior Manager of Electrical Engineering at our Everett, WA office.
You Will:
Collaborate with design engineers to gain an in-depth knowledge of part, assembly, and sub-system design intent
Assess suppliers' manufacturing processes and quality systems to source parts, in partnership with procurement team
Support product ramp from new product introduction through to high-volume manufacturing
Define supplier technical and quality specifications based on engineering and program requirements
Implement and monitor the production part approval process (PPAP) with selected suppliers to promote rate production
Ensure suppliers understand requirements for document submissions (e.g., first article inspection reports, quality documentation)
Develop and approve process controls for important characteristics
Recommend technical product improvements to reduce risk and potential defect opportunities
Analyze supplier quality and delivery metrics to identify trends and systemic performance gaps to improve plans
Coordinate between suppliers, engineers, buyers, and production to resolve supplier quality issues
Guide supplier corrective actions associated with escapes or containments identified in production or the supply chain
Improve the supply chain
Help build the supplier quality program and team at Helion
Help develop receiving inspection and quality standards
Required Skills:
3+ years of engineering, manufacturing, or supply chain experience—including school projects, clubs, or internships—in mechanical or electrical systems
Bachelor's degree or higher in an engineering discipline, or relevant field
Experience managing external suppliers
Knowledge of supplier quality processes (e.g., production part approval process, advanced product quality planning, first article inspection reports)
Knowledge of statistical techniques and methods (e.g., design of experiments, Six Sigma)
Experience with quality systems (ISO 9000 / TS)
Able to travel up to 50% of the time
