  • Ensure suppliers and contract manufacturers comply with Nextpower specifications, procedures, engineering changes, approved revisions, and applicable quality requirements.
  • Identify emerging product and supplier quality risks and develop strategies to mitigate potential product, manufacturing, customer, and business impact.
  • Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Reliability, and other functions to resolve complex quality issues and implement long-term improvements.
  • Influence suppliers, contract manufacturers, and internal stakeholders to implement quality improvements, process controls, and corrective actions.
  • Drive standardization of quality processes, metrics, control plans, and corrective-action practices across suppliers and manufacturing locations.
  • Report product and supplier quality performance, significant risks, trends, and improvement initiatives to Nextpower leadership.
  • Support customer audits, supplier and factory visits, quality reviews, and other internal or external assessments.
  • Provide technical guidance and direction to engineers, suppliers, and manufacturing partners as needed.
