Supplier Development Engineer - EE/EM

Meta Supplier Development Engineering team is looking for a supplier development engineer to be responsible for overall quality and manufacturing process development within the supply chain on Electrical/Electromechanical (EE/EM) modules. This role is ideal for an engineer with experience delivering results in iterative development environments, and has a solid quality and manufacturing engineering background.

Responsibilities

• The Supplier Development Engineer will be responsible for overall Electrical/Electromechanical (EE/EM) modules manufacturing process development and readiness within the supply chain
• Drive Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) activities with vendors and provide technical support in enhancing process capability and solving technical issues
• Identify equipment, fixture, and tooling needs and drive implementation efforts to qualify and optimize the manufacturing process
• Establish quality and process control plans at vendors for early detection of issues and to ensure quality and reliability standards are consistently met
• Responsible for conducting Design/Process FMEA, Failure analysis, PPAP, and Statistical Process Control
• Bring up and qualify the production line through DOEs, Line qualification, Machine Buy-off, Cycle Time & UPH studies, and Automation
• Evaluate prospective vendors for process capability based on project needs, then be a major part of supplier identification and selection
• Publish concise reports on module yield performance, specification convergence status; drive Failure analysis, Corrective Action implementation plan, and yield bridge to mass production
• Collaborate with Suppliers and Engineering teams in assessing, proposing, and developing process technologies based on project requirements

Qualifications
