You will own technical supplier quality activities, from qualification and risk assessment through performance monitoring, nonconformance resolution, and sustained improvement. \nThis is a centralized Supplier Quality role working closely with Procurement, Supply Chain, Engineering, site Quality teams, and external providers. You will help Isembard scale its supplier network while ensuring purchased materials, components, and special processes meet customer, regulatory, and AS9100 / EN9100 requirements. You will have the independence to raise quality concerns and escalate risks without compromising product conformity. \nWhat You'll Do\nLead supplier quality qualification and approval activities, including capability assessments, risk-based audits, technical reviews, and recommendations for Approved Supplier List status and scope. \nPartner with Supply Chain to develop a supplier base with the manufacturing capabilities, quality systems, special processes, and capacity needed to support current and future Isembard demand. \nEvaluate supplier process controls, inspection methods, measurement capability, traceability, and readiness to manufacture aerospace-grade products. \nDefine and communicate supplier quality requirements, including material certification, conformity documentation, flow-down clauses, special-process approvals, and customer-directed sourcing controls. \nMonitor supplier performance using quality escapes, nonconformance trends, responsiveness, delivery-related quality risks, and corrective action effectiveness; prioritize improvement activity based on risk. \nOwn or coordinate supplier nonconformance investigations, containment, root cause and corrective action (RCCA / SCAR), and objective verification of effectiveness. \nSupport receiving inspection strategies, source inspection where required, First Article Inspection (AS9102 where applicable), and verification of supplier documentation. \nAssess supplier changes in process, location, material, subcontractors, or quality systems; ensure required internal and customer approvals are obtained before implementation. \nWork with suppliers to prevent counterfeit parts, unauthorized substitutions, undocumented processing, and loss of material or lot traceability. \nCoordinate qualification and surveillance of special-process providers, including verification of required NADCAP or customer approvals where specified. \nSupport customer and certification audits with objective evidence of supplier control, qualification, performance monitoring, and corrective action. \nBuild practical, scalable supplier quality standards and records in Isembard's QMS and MasonOS, while maintaining clear accountability between centralized Supplier Quality and site Quality teams. \nWhat We're Looking For \nEssential experience and skills\n4+ years in supplier quality engineering, manufacturing quality, or quality engineering within a precision manufacturing or regulated production environment. \nWorking knowledge of AS9100 / EN9100 or ISO 9001 requirements for control of external providers, traceability, nonconforming outputs, and corrective action. \nExperience conducting supplier assessments or audits and evaluating process capability, manufacturing controls, and technical compliance. \nPractical experience with root cause analysis, corrective action, containment, and verification of effectiveness. \nAbility to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, tolerances, and inspection or certification requirements. \nStrong written documentation, supplier communication, data analysis, and cross-functional problem-solving skills. \nWillingness to travel to suppliers and manufacturing sites as needed. \nNice to have\nExperience in aerospace, defense, CNC machining, or high-mix precision manufacturing. \nKnowledge of AS9102 FAI, AS9103 key characteristics, AS9120 distribution controls, and customer-specific aerospace quality clauses. \nExperience with NADCAP special processes, raw-material traceability, and counterfeit-part prevention. \nFamiliarity with CMM inspection, GD&T, measurement systems analysis, SPC, and process capability studies. \nExperience developing suppliers across multiple facilities or a distributed manufacturing network. \nASQ CQE / CQA, lead auditor qualification, or comparable quality credentials.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4488,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T23:12:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":54,"band":"ok","label":"Likely
