Job summary

RadiantRadiant in El Segundo, CA is hiring a Supply Quality Engineer to build and mature supplier programs that prevent problems and ensure the right part arrives to the right standard, every time. The role focuses upstream on strengthening supplier processes while handling non-conformances when needed.

You will own qualification, onboarding, audits, and the supplier quality manual, working with design, manufacturing, and materials teams to translate requirements into supplier-facing standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, Materials Science, or a related technical field.
• 3–6 years of hands-on supplier quality, supplier development, or supplier reliability engineering in a regulated industry (nuclear, aerospace, defense, or medical device).
• Independently process supplier quality transactions: deviation requests, non-conformance reports, supplier corrective action requests, purchase order quality reviews, and cert package review.
• Own or draft quality program documents: quality clauses, supplier requirements, inspection instructions, or equivalent.
• Working knowledge of ISO 9001, AS9100, or equivalent QMS, including supplier audits and CAPA management.

Responsibilities

• Own the supplier qualification and onboarding process end-to-end — pre-assessments, capability reviews, audit execution, and formal approval to the Approved Supplier List.
• Refine and expand quality program documentation — including quality clauses, commodity-specific requirements, and the Supplier Quality Manual.
• Develop supplier capability improvement plans — identify gaps, partner with suppliers to close them, and track milestones before problems reach Radiant's dock.
• Own Radiant's procurement assurance and acceptance framework — define item acceptance criteria across supplier types and build toward a graded, systematized model.
• Execute supplier audits and manage performance — audit, close findings, and drive structured improvement plans with early intervention.
• Collaborate with design engineering, manufacturing, and materials teams to translate technical requirements into supplier-facing quality requirements.
• Process and disposition supplier quality issues — deviations, non-conformance reports, supplier corrective actions, root cause analysis, and verification.
