• Review and negotiate QAA terms with suppliers, covering responsibilities, control points, traceability, non-conformities and other quality requirements.
• Coordinate internal Quality, Legal and Purchasing approvals for QAAs and monitor ongoing supplier compliance.
• Define and maintain the supplier NCR process, from detection and reporting through escalation, follow-up and closure.
• Establish effective NCR templates and tracking tools, and communicate non-conformities clearly with suppliers.
• Analyse NCR trends and recurring issues to identify systemic quality problems and drive corrective actions.
• Initiate supplier development, improvement plans or requalification where supplier performance falls below expectations.

Your Profile

• 5 years experience in supplier quality management with complex mechatronic product
• Hands-on experience conducting supplier audits and driving corrective actions through to verified closure.
• Strong understanding of root-cause analysis, 8D and structured problem solving.
• Experience defining and negotiating supplier quality requirements, ideally including Quality Assurance Agreements.
• Ability to work effectively across Procurement, Engineering, Manufacturing and Quality, while challenging suppliers when quality or delivery requirements are not met.
• Willingness to travel to suppliers and spend time on-site when required.

Bonus Points

• Experience with ISO 9001 and/or ISO 80079-34, particularly in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
• Experience building or improving supplier quality processes in a scaling manufacturing organization.
• Familiarity with statistical quality tools such as SPC, Cpk/Ppk and Pareto analysis.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to own supplier quality for a portfolio of components directly contributing to the production of autonomous mobile robots.
• Direct collaboration with Engineering, Procurement, Manufacturing and Quality teams in Zurich and with suppliers internationally.
• The opportunity to build and improve supplier quality processes as ANYbotics scales its production and product portfolio.

We offer you a very exciting and dynamic work environment, the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing company and an ambitious team that is on a mission to change the industrial inspection market, a chance to leverage your experience and bring in your own ideas, a fair market salary, an attractive employee stock ownership plan, and a job in the city of Zurich.
