About the Role
Redwood Materials is seeking a skilled Electronics Supplier Industrialization Engineer to scale PCBA suppliers for aggressive production ramp schedules of a novel energy generation product. This role involves ensuring supplier parts meet dimensional, functional, and reliability requirements, supporting supplier ramp-up through capacity analysis, process approvals, part qualifications, NPI builds, and ongoing performance monitoring. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet design and customer success targets in a dynamic, fast-paced startup environment.
Responsibilities
- Support supplier audits (process, system, product) and risk assessments to qualify new sources and ensure readiness for mass production.
- Partner with GSMs, Design Engineering, and suppliers to align specifications, tolerance stack-ups, test coverage, and process controls.
- Review dimensional and quality reports, first article inspections, and other process control data to ensure part compliance.
- Execute PPAP/FAI activities and define incoming inspection criteria based on part criticality, GD&T, and critical-to-quality key characteristics.
- Support supplier non-conformance resolution, drive 8D investigations, and verify effectiveness with vendors.
- Maintain supplier scorecards with KPIs such as yield, PPM, delivery performance, and DFM responsiveness.
- Support NPI builds and DFM/DFA feedback loops through early supplier engagement and pilot line walkthroughs.
- Help build and define a strong network of vendor partners with robust process, technical capability, reliability, and capacity.
- Support make-vs-buy, dual sourcing, and localization efforts across global supply chains.
- Contribute to sourcing decisions, lead-time analysis, and manufacturing footprint strategies.
Requirements
- 5+ years of supplier quality, industrial engineering, process controls, or related experience, ideally in automotive, industrial hardware, or high-volume electronics manufacturing.
- Strong understanding of PCBA manufacturing processes (SMT, through-hole wave and selective soldering, reflow oven profiles, test strategies, etc.).
- Strong proficiency in statistics, reading schematics, component drawings, and developing manufacturing processes for high volume capacity and quality targets.
- Familiarity with APQP, PPAP, SPC, DFMEA/PFMEA, ISO, and AECQ quality systems.
- Highly collaborative, data-driven, and proactive.
- Capable of thriving in fast-paced startup environments.
- Willingness to travel internationally to supplier and CM sites as needed (30%).
