Senior Supplier Quality Engineer

About the Role Senior Supplier Quality Engineer collaborates with global teams to qualify, monitor and drive quality improvements for outsourced suppliers, especially for injection molding, to support DSS CSBU growth. This role reports to the Senior Manager of Global Supplier Quality and will be located in Southern China (Molex DG or Shenzhen). What You'll Do

• Collaborate with global procurement sourcing team and Quality Engineers on new supplier qualifications, product and/or process development with outsourced suppliers.
• Collaborate with BU or Molex plant mold product / process engineering on new injection mold development projects: concept tool designs, DFM analysis, verification of concepts through Moldflow simulation, development of qualification requirements, follow-up with suppliers (remotely and on-site) for tool qualification, scientific molding processes development, product review and disposition, and launch support into operations.
• Work directly with new product teams and advise on robust injection mold design for manufacturability of new products.
• Review Moldflow simulation results to improve and drive more-successful tool and part designs, verifying actual parts against predictions.
• Analyzing part data and communicating findings and recommendations for improvements. Objective is to minimize tooling adjustments through thorough investigation and well-planned, executed tooling strategy.
• Establish molding process parameters scientifically, using cavity pressure technology in a way that assures the best and most consistent process.
• Transfer data and lessons learned to other process engineers to expand their knowledge.
• Leverage statistical techniques and methods such as Design of Experiments (DOE) to develop robust processes and translate process information to guidelines, creating long term value.
• Ensure that all documentation (Mold estimates, CAE results, tooling plans, mold designs, process development, QC reports, etc.) for assigned molds during the qualification phase are complete and properly stored.
• Provide technical support to resolve issues (equipment, process, and tooling) and assist the operations team with outsourced supplier quality problem resolution to meet delivery and quality requirement for new product or customer order fulfillment.
• Work directly with PDE and QA/DQE on disposition and develop a detailed tooling modification plan for adjustment until the tool meets the drawing requirements.
• Join the mold and process handover to ensure the project transfers smoothly, provide remote or on-site support to finalize the process and launch the project into production.
• Guide / coach
