Job Description:

Established in 2022, Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT) is a fast-growing business within the Aston Martin Racing Performance Group. Our vision is to deploy our F1 knowledge and technical expertise to deliver high-performance engineering projects outside of Formula One.

AMPT has already established its position as a technological trend-setter - from producing highly successful automotive composite Body in White programmes to heading global motorsport programmes. As our programme portfolio develops, we are looking for a range of driven, world-class engineers to join us on this exciting journey.

AMPT is based in Silverstone, amidst the widely renowned Aston Martin Racing Technology Campus. With the iconic circuit on one side and rural countryside on the other, the new Campus symbolises our core values: innate competitive desire and a drive for sustainable efficiency, in an environment conceived to nurture innovative and creative thinking.

We have a new opportunity to be part of the Aston Martin Performance Technologies team in the role of Quality Assurance Engineer.

Reporting to the Head of Supply Chain, you will play a critical role in ensuring the successful delivery of non-F1 projects, achieving targets for cost, timing, specification, and quality. This role has a broad quality remit across suppliers, internal processes, standards, and customer satisfaction, ensuring AMPT products and services consistently meet specifications and expectations.

You will be responsible for:

• Liaising with AMPT customers to understand product and process requirements and cascading these across internal teams and the supply chain.
• Ensuring all quality and business processes are met and taking corrective actions where necessary.
• Selecting, auditing, and developing suppliers in line with industry and AMPT standards (e.g., ISO 9001, IATF 16949).
• Validating that supplied components meet technical, regulatory, and quality standards using tools such as PPAP and APQP.
• Leading problem-solving efforts on supplier issues using 8D, root cause analysis, and CAPA.
• Tracking and analysing supplier quality metrics and leading initiatives to drive continuous improvement.
• Collaborating with suppliers during development phases to ensure robust production processes, including FAI and process capability studies.
• Anticipating and proactively managing quality issues to effective resolution.
• Supporting the development of AMPT’s tools, methods, people, and culture, as well as contributing to its intellectual property.
• Maintaining and developing skill levels and up-to-date knowledge of industry standards, inspection techniques, and problem-solving tools.
• Carrying out any additional duties aligned to the role as reasonably required.

What you will need to be successful in this role:

• Educated to degree level in engineering, quality management or a related field.
• Previous experience in supplier quality assurance within high-tech engineering or advanced manufacturing.
• Ability to turn ideas into feasible, high-quality solutions.
• Strong organisational and time management skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication, with a collaborative and respectful approach.
• Calm and confident under pressure, capable of delivering results to tight deadlines.
• Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
• Results-driven with sound decision-making capability.
• Innovative and flexible approach to challenges.
• Enthusiastic and adaptable, with the ability to build strong working relationships.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced team environment.
• Proven reliability and self-motivation.
• Committed to Health & Safety and upholding high professional standards.

This is a full-time office-based role based at our campus in Silverstone, with additional requirement to travel to other locations where necessary.

We are a business that fosters a supportive, inclusive, and compassionate culture, where our team genuinely embodies our core values: Growth, Readiness, Empowerment, Excellence, and Nurturing.

Aston Martin Formula One Team is committed to attracting, recruiting, and retaining the most talented individuals, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, gender expression, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion, belief, sex or sexual orientation.
