Evaluate mechanical assemblies with multi-component stackups for fit and tolerance issues
Perform or oversee inspection of incoming parts
Drive corrective actions and continuous improvement with suppliers
Work across prototype and production supply chains, likely coordinating between engineering and suppliers

Must-haves

Experience with casting/cradle/subframe manufacturing
Experience with extrusion processes
General machining process knowledge
Understanding of mechanical assemblies with multiple component stackups
Solid inspection knowhow

Nice to have

Entrepreneurial, self-driven mindset

Steps to get this job

1Lead your resume or cover letter with specific supplier quality work on castings, extrusions, or machined mechanical assemblies, naming the parts or programs if you can
2Mirror the phrase 'multiple component stackups' if you've handled tolerance stackup analysis on assemblies, since that's a specific technical signal they're screening for
3Prepare one concrete story about a time you drove a supplier corrective action from root cause to resolution, since 'drive continuous improvement' is central to the role
4If you have inspection certifications (CMM, GD&T, AS9102 type experience) or similar, call them out explicitly since 'good inspection knowhow' is listed as a preference
