This is us, your new colleagues
Supply Network Quality (SNQ) is an organization within Volvo Group Purchasing responsible for driving the global supply network towards premium automotive quality standards. This means we are responsible for securing the manufacturing capabilities of the supply network, to quality assure the purchased parts and to continuously improve the quality performance of the supply network base. We work with these matters during sourcing phase, projects and operations with a clear objective to provide excellent products to our end customers.
This is how you could make an impact
The job as Supplier Quality Engineer (SQE) is many times challenging and often rewarding. As an Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) ambassador you will be involved in everything from product development to quality assurance of the production lines on-site at your suppliers. As result of successful APQP work and preventive supplier quality activities, you will sign off the supplier PPAP allowing production to start at the supplier.
You will also:
• Monitor the quality of the development and the industrialization of new products at the Volvo Group suppliers.
• Ensure suppliers meet project specifications and timelines, and that they can consistently produce parts at the required quality level. If issues arise during development, you’re empowered to request improvement plans to secure successful outcomes.
• During sourcing phases, you will provide relevant supplier information as a base for the sourcing cases. You act as the link between our production plants and suppliers during ongoing production, working together to minimize disruptions by driving improvements and ensuring effective actions at the supplier end.
Who are you?
Now you know a little bit about us. We would also like to describe who we think that you are and what qualities you possess. We believe that you have an eye for details but also a good general understanding of different situations, being able to make risk assessments and focus on the right areas and topics. You should also be a good communicator and a multicultural team player, since communicating and working with multiple teams is what this job is very much about. This role comes with frequent travel, so if you enjoy discovering new places and cultures, you’ll likely find it both exciting and rewarding.
What is your background?
• A university degree within engineering or several years of technical experience.
• Knowledge/skills in engineering or manufacturing of power electronics and electronic parts for electromobility vehicles is an advantage.
• Experience working independently
• Driver’s license for cars.
• Good English communication skills, orally and in writing.
• Strong analytical skills and a structured, logical approach to problem-solving.
• Ability to create networks and to lead cross-functional activities within multi-cultural teams.
