• Subject matter expert in quality engineering principles and regulatory administration in areas such as Part 21, Part 145, ISO 9001, Corrective Action Response (CAR), and Root Cause Investigation Techniques.
• Ideally experience in Supplier Quality Engineering, but applications from Auditors with exposure to supplier relationships who want to transition into a pure SQE role are welcome.
