The director will guide a team of approximately six engineers while assessing suppliers’ technical capabilities, production processes, capacity, and expansion plans. The role works across sourcing, engineering, and product organizations to select suppliers, establish process controls, and support product launches, scaling, and cost improvement. Once supplier processes are stable, ongoing quality oversight will transition to the Supplier Quality function. It is well suited to an experienced engineering or operations leader with strong supplier development expertise, people-management ability, and experience in semiconductor or similarly complex manufacturing environments.
