Supplier Development Improvement Engineer
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse description: The description includes bullet-like sentences. We need to extract sections.
Let's identify content:
- Description (maybe "About the role"): The first paragraph: "Perform quality and capability assessments for potential suppliers including reporting, follow-up and closure of audit findings and non-conformances Perform supplier process audits, Run@ Rate verification, control plan audits, PFMEA reviews, special processes evaluations (CQI), and early production containment Provide technical expertise to suppliers in various manufacturing processes: plastic injection molding, stamping, and assembly Monitor supplier performance metrics and utilize the appropriate Inteva escalation processes with poorly performing suppliers to improve supplier performance. Guide suppliers to develop quality strategies to improve quality system implementation, utilizing continuous improvement and problem-solving techniques Lead and coordinate Supplier Change Request, supporting Engineering Changes related to suppliers Train suppliers and Inteva Plant SQEs in Problem Case management. Willing to travel globally and sometimes within short notice Travel ~50-75% And other duties as assigned."
That's responsibilities.
- Position Requirements: Education Bachelor’s Degree in engineering required. Advanced degree preferred. Required Minimum 5 years’ experience in automotive supplier quality/development Previous experience working with Suppliers that provide automotive components: example – injection molded components, plastic assemblies (cup holders, air vents etc.), chrome parts, rolled good materials, stampings, and other components relative to Interiors, Closures, and Motors & Electronics assemblies. Operations/Manufacturing processes technical expertise – plastic injection molding, stampings and assembly Knowledge of core quality tools (APQP, FMEA, MSA, SPC, and PPAP) Demonstrated experience in supplier improvement activities and performing Supplier Process Audits, Run@Rate verification, PFMEA reviews, Control Plan audits, Special Processes evaluations (CQI), and Early Production Containment assessments. Knowledge of IATF, VDA, and ISO based quality systems, with Auditor accreditation for systems and processes. Auditor Certification strongly preferred. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, preferably with 6 Sigma and/or Shainin Certification. Strong verbal/written communication skills, with proficiency in English language, oral and written, and preferably in other language(s) used in geographic area of responsibility Motivated self-starter willing to lead and learn who works well in a team environment
- About the Organization: description of Inteva.
We need sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (maybe same as description?), Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have real content.
We have responsibilities (the description). We have requirements (education, experience). We have qualifications (maybe overlapping with requirements). We have skills (technical expertise, communication, etc). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not provided. So we should not include those sections.
We also have "About the Organization" which could be "About the role"? Actually "About the Organization" is separate. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We could have:
- About the role
: maybe a brief summary? The description includes duties; but we also have Responsibilities. Could combine? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can choose which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role? Possibly the "About the Organization" could be considered About the role? But it's about the organization, not role. However we could treat "About the role" as a short summary of the role (maybe the first sentence). But we have responsibilities detailed. Could put responsibilities under Responsibilities heading. About the role could be a brief overview: maybe "Perform quality and capability assessments for potential suppliers..." but that's also responsibilities. To avoid duplication, we could put the description under Responsibilities and omit About the role if no distinct content. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does not have a separate "About the role" paragraph; it's just the description of duties. So we could skip About the role.
Responsibilities: we have the list of duties.
Requirements: education, experience, etc.
Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements but could include certifications, etc. However we could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have Requirements covering education and experience, and Qualifications covering certifications and specific knowledge. Skills: technical expertise, communication, problem-solving, etc.
Let's extract:
Responsibilities bullet list:
- Perform quality and capability assessments for potential suppliers including reporting, follow-up and closure of audit findings and non-conformances
- Perform supplier process audits, Run@Rate verification, control plan audits, PFMEA reviews, special processes evaluations (CQI), and early production containment
- Provide technical expertise to suppliers in various manufacturing processes: plastic injection molding, stamping, and assembly
- Monitor supplier performance metrics and utilize the appropriate Inteva escalation processes with poorly performing suppliers to improve supplier performance
- Guide suppliers to develop quality strategies to improve quality system implementation, utilizing continuous improvement and problem-solving techniques
- Lead and coordinate Supplier Change Request, supporting Engineering Changes related to suppliers
- Train suppliers and Inteva Plant SQEs in Problem Case management
- Willing to travel globally and sometimes within short notice (Travel ~50-75%)
- And other duties as assigned.
We'll put each as
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (maybe list)
- Qualifications (list)
- Skills (list)
We could also include About the role? Not needed.
We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule as no content.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's craft.
Responsibilities: list of duties as above.
Requirements: maybe include education, years experience, and specific supplier component experience.
Qualifications: include technical expertise, knowledge of core quality tools, demonstrated experience in supplier improvement activities, knowledge of IATF/VDA/ISO and auditor certification.
Skills: include analytical/problem-solving (6 Sigma/Shainin), communication skills, self-starter/teamwork.
Check for duplication: The "Demonstrated experience in supplier improvement activities and performing Supplier Process Audits, Run@Rate verification, PFMEA reviews, Control Plan audits, Special Processes evaluations (CQI), and Early Production Containment assessments." appears also in responsibilities (some overlap). But responsibilities list includes those activities as duties. It's okay to have some overlap but we should preserve all info; duplication is allowed as long as we don't invent. However we might want to avoid repeating same sentence in two places; but it's okay if it's present in both sections as it's substantive. However we could keep it only in Qualifications (as it's a qualification) and not repeat in responsibilities? But responsibilities also mention performing supplier process audits etc. The responsibilities list includes "Perform supplier process audits, Run@ Rate verification, control plan audits, PFMEA reviews, special processes evaluations (CQI), and early production containment". That's essentially same as the qualification statement. To avoid duplication, we could keep it only in responsibilities (as duty) and not repeat in qualifications. But the qualification statement also includes "Demonstrated experience in supplier improvement activities and performing ...". That's slightly different: it's about demonstrated experience. Could keep both but maybe it's okay.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; we can duplicate but not required. Safer to keep each piece once.
Let's map each piece to a section without duplication.
List all distinct pieces:
1. Perform quality and capability assessments for potential suppliers including reporting, follow-up and closure of audit findings and non-conformances
2. Perform supplier process audits, Run@Rate verification, control plan audits, PFMEA reviews, special processes evaluations (CQI), and early production containment
3. Provide technical expertise to suppliers in various manufacturing processes: plastic injection molding, stamping, and assembly
4. Monitor supplier performance metrics and utilize the appropriate Inteva escalation processes with poorly performing suppliers to improve supplier performance
5. Guide suppliers to develop quality strategies to improve quality system implementation, utilizing continuous improvement and problem-solving techniques
6. Lead and coordinate Supplier Change Request, supporting Engineering
