1. Role Purpose

The NPI Quality Lead / Sr. NPI Quality Engineer will be responsible for ensuring product quality, process readiness, and manufacturing quality readiness throughout the New Product Introduction lifecycle, from product development and prototype builds through pilot production and Start of Production (SOP).

The role will act as the key quality interface between Technology, Hardware, Software, Mechanical, Production, NPI, Supplier Quality Assurance (SQA), Sourcing, Engineering, and EMS partners.

The position will ensure that product, process, supplier, testing, and manufacturing-related quality gaps are systematically identified, tracked, and closed before SOP.

The role will also support the SQA team in PPAP readiness, supplier audits, process validation, and closure of supplier-related quality observations.

2. Key Responsibilities

A. NPI Quality Planning & Coordination

  • Act as the Quality SPOC for assigned New Product Introduction projects.
  • Coordinate with Technology, Hardware, Software, Mechanical, Production, NPI, SQA, Sourcing, Engineering, and EMS partners throughout the product development lifecycle.
  • Participate in NPI reviews across Prototype, EVT, DVT, PVT, Pilot Production, and SOP, or equivalent development stages.
  • Establish, implement, and track NPI Quality Gates.
  • Ensure all required quality deliverables are completed before progressing to the next NPI stage.
  • Review product and process risks and ensure appropriate preventive controls are defined before production release.
  • Ensure quality concerns identified during development and pilot builds are properly documented, tracked, assigned, and closed with objective evidence.

B. Line Readiness & Process Standardization

  • Drive production line readiness before pilot builds and SOP.
  • Verify the availability, implementation, and effectiveness of:Process Flow Work Instructions Control Plan PFMEA Inspection Standards Testing and Validation Requirements Process Parameters Quality Checkpoints Traceability Requirements Error-Proofing / Poka-Yoke Special Process Controls, wherever applicable
  • Ensure manufacturing and process controls are standardized across EMS locations.
  • Conduct and support NPI Line Readiness Audits / Assessments and track observations to closure.
  • Verify readiness of inspection equipment, test equipment, fixtures, gauges, and test stations.
  • Ensure FCT, functional checks, and End-of-Line quality controls are defined, validated, and implemented before SOP.
  • Identify potential production and quality risks before mass production and drive preventive actions.

C. NPI Observation & Issue Closure

  • Maintain an NPI Observation / Action Tracker covering product, process, documentation, testing, and manufacturing readiness gaps.
  • Coordinate with responsible stakeholders for timely closure of open observations.
  • Drive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and corrective actions for issues identified during prototype, pilot, and pre-SOP builds.
  • Verify the effectiveness of corrective actions through subsequent builds, audits, validation results, or documented evidence.
  • Escalate critical or overdue observations that may impact SOP readiness.
  • Ensure no critical quality or process observation remains open without an approved disposition before SOP.

D. EMS Partner Quality Management

  • Coordinate with EMS partners during NPI builds and ensure compliance with defined quality requirements.
  • Conduct and support EMS NPI Readiness Reviews and Process Audits.
  • Ensure manufacturing processes are aligned with approved product and process documentation.
  • Monitor pilot-build quality performance, including:First Pass Yield (FPY) Rejection Rework Process Deviations Defect Trends
  • Drive standardization of quality controls across different EMS manufacturing locations.
  • Support EMS teams in identifying process risks and implementing effective preventive controls.
  • Ensure all NPI-related deviations, concessions, and engineering/process changes are formally documented, reviewed, and approved.

E. PPAP & Supplier Quality Support

  • Support the SQA team in PPAP planning, review, submission, and closure.
  • Review supplier PPAP documentation for completeness and alignment with project and quality requirements.
  • Support supplier and process audits during new product development.
  • Participate in:Supplier Process Audits Run-at-Rate / Capacity Assessments Process Validation First-Off / Trial Validation Dimensional Validation Functional Validation Special Characteristic Reviews
