The Senior Quality Engineer is the senior technical resource responsible for supplier quality management and New Product Introduction (NPI) quality engineering — ensuring that every new component, material, and product launch meets the clinical and regulatory quality standards that protect providers and patients.

• Collaborate with Engineering and Supply Chain to develop and deliver Product Acceptance Sampling Strategies, Approved Supplier List coordination, Supplier Owned Quality deployment, and Control Plans for new products.
• Participate in risk management activities throughout the product lifecycle from development through manufacturing.
• Qualify suppliers according to company standards; ensure that suppliers deliver quality parts, materials, and services.
• Monitor parts from acquisition through the manufacturing cycle; communicate and resolve supplier-related problems as they arise.
• Develop and prioritize an auditing schedule to ensure designated suppliers are audited regularly against GMP and quality standards, and contractual agreements.
• Evaluate suppliers' internal functions to assess overall performance; provide feedback on their quality management practices.
• Trend and monitor supplier performance using statistical data including NCMRs, Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCARs), and scrap metrics.
