Supplier Quality and Development Engineer (f/m/d) - Machining Processes

A Snapshot of Your Day

Management of supplier qualification for machining processes of gas turbine components is a key part of the role. Technical support for suppliers is provided, with shared responsibility for qualifications, quality, schedules, and costs. The position includes responsibility for the development and industrialization of new production processes at the suppliers. Acting as the main point of contact, the role addresses technical questions or quality issues from suppliers as well as from internal stakeholders. It also serves as the technical interface between design/engineering and manufacturing. Data analysis, the identification of improvement opportunities, and the initiation of enhancements together with suppliers are essential tasks. With growing experience, involvement in larger projects increases. Strong English communication skills—both written and verbal—ensure effective interaction with partners and suppliers.
