Supplier Development Engineer, EE/EM
Description
Meta Supplier Development Engineering team is looking for a supplier development engineer to be responsible for overall quality and manufacturing process development within the supply chain on Cable and Connector modules. This role requires a quality and manufacturing engineering background with the ability to independently manage workstreams across multiple concurrent development programs.
Responsibilities
The Supplier Development Engineer will be responsible for overall Electrical/Electromechanical modules manufacturing process development and readiness within the supply chain Drive Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) activities with vendors and provide technical support in enhancing process capability and solving technical issues Identify equipment, fixture, and tooling needs and drive implementation efforts to qualify and optimize the manufacturing process Establish quality and process control plans at vendors for early detection of issues and to ensure quality and reliability targets are consistently met Responsible for conducting Design/Process FMEA, Failure analysis, PPAP, and Statistical Process Control Bring up and qualify the production line through DOEs, Line qualification, Machine Buy-off, Cycle Time & UPH studies, and Automation Evaluate prospective vendors for process capability based on project needs, then be a major part of supplier identification and selection Publish concise reports on module yield performance, specification convergence status; drive Failure analysis, Corrective Action implementation plan, and yield bridge to mass production Collaborate with Suppliers and Engineering teams in assessing, proposing, and developing process technologies based on project requirements
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering 5+ years of working experience in cable and connector industries. Demonstrated knowledge of manufacturing process design and supplier quality management Hands-on experience in EE/EM modules manufacturing process development with an understanding of equipment and methodologies commonly used in the industry Experience with quality tools such as SPC, FMEA, GR&R, DoE, metrology, GD&T, and Correlation studies Experience with the typical failure mode and its corresponding failure analysis methodology Experience with the reliability test plan to do quality risk assessment for Cable and Connector at component level Experience communicating technical findings to cross-functional teams and collaborating with suppliers and internal engineering stakeholders to resolve manufacturing issues Ability and willingness to travel up to 50% to vendors at different locations Master's degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering Experience with the optical cable manufacturing process and testing methodology Knowledgeable in the plating stack up solution proposal for required anti-corrosion performance on connector Have hands-on experience on other EE/EM modules quality and manufacturing management, such as Antenna, Fan and Audio etc Experience independently driving workstreams and delivering results with minimal supervision Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews) Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
