• Support suppliers through launch and SOP +90 while driving continuous improvement and incorporating lessons learned.
• Perform supplier process audits and new supplier assessments.
• Partner with plant quality teams to resolve complex supplier quality issues using effective root cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Evaluate supplier performance and identify opportunities to improve quality, delivery, and operational excellence.
• Identify supplier risks and develop mitigation plans to ensure a stable, resilient supply base.
• Prioritize work based on business impact, timing, and customer needs.
• Travel approximately 50% to supplier and GHSP locations throughout North America, with occasional international travel, building strong supplier partnerships and solving manufacturing challenges firsthand.

We're looking for engineers who enjoy collaboration, continuous improvement, and solving technical challenges.

Qualified candidates will have:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Three or more years of experience in automotive supplier quality, supplier development, manufacturing quality, or a related engineering role.
• Working knowledge of APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, SPC, GD&T, blueprint reading, Lean Manufacturing, and IATF 16949 quality principles.
• Electronics manufacturing or supplier quality experience strongly preferred.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Certified Quality Auditor (CQA), or similar certification is a plus.

At GHSP, you'll join a collaborative engineering organization where your work is visible and your contributions matter. You'll work alongside talented colleagues across engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, and quality to solve challenging problems and help bring innovative products to market.

Our culture is built around four core values:

• Earn Trust
