Lunar Energy is building clean energy products to electrify homes and connect communities to form virtual power plants. As Senior Supply Quality Engineer, you own supplier quality across the full product lifecycle—from supplier qualification through new product introduction and into mass production.
You will lead containment, 8D, and corrective action (CAPA) efforts to root-cause non-conformances found in incoming inspection, on the line, and in the field. You review supplier-driven changes, assessing deviation requests, ECRs, and process or sourcing changes for risk, and approve them with appropriate requalification. You build and maintain supplier scorecards covering quality, delivery, and responsiveness, and lead business reviews that hold suppliers to their targets.
You qualify and develop suppliers of mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical components through on-site qualification audits. You own the full PPAP process, including control plan, PFMEA, and first article approval. You lead Gage R&R / MSA studies, process capability analysis (Cp/Cpk/Pp/Ppk), and SPC deployment at suppliers. You apply strong GD&T to drawing reviews and tolerance stack-ups, confirming parts are producible and inspectable before tooling is cut.
This is a hands-on role with significant supplier interaction and travel (50% domestic and international). You will work independently to own supplier programs from qualification through mass production approval, using data to drive decisions.
**Requirements:**
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Electrical, or related engineering discipline
- 5–6 years of experience as a Supplier Quality Engineer, including sustaining operations and quality ownership from NPI through mass production
- Direct experience with mechanical components (sheet metal, plastic injection molding, powder-coated metal), electrical components (wire harnesses, PCBA), and electromechanical assemblies
- Strong GD&T knowledge and data analysis proficiency in JMP for capability, measurement-system, and reliability studies
- Track record of independently owning supplier programs from on-site qualification audits through mass production approval
- ISO 9001 Lead Auditor certification
- US citizenship required; willingness to travel 50% of the time to domestic and international suppliers
