Member of a select team of 5 SQEs for early supplier engagement in MR product launch. Ensure quality of high risk parts, selected based on their importance to the system, known supply chain issues, or complexity of manufacturing process. Help suppliers transfer critical parts from design into production. • Led design reviews, first articles, control plans, and PFMEAs for over three dozen critical parts and high-level assemblies.• Conducted on-site manufacturing process review of new power distribution unit supplier in Thailand, identifying 50 significant manufacturing defects (poor torque controls, errors in WI, incorrect Hi-pot operation, etc.). Verified issues were fixed, preventing NC product and potential recalls.• Conducted hands-on WI review for key high level assembly. Identified numerous WI defects supplier missed: wrong tooling, inadequate labeling controls, over torqueing of bolts.
