Supplier Quality Engineer - New Grad

We are looking for a New College Graduate Supplier Quality Engineer to support supplier quality for the components, printed circuit board assemblies, subassemblies, and system-level products used in Cerebras systems.

In this role, you will work with experienced Supplier Quality Engineers and collaborate with Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Reliability Engineering, Operations, Strategic Sourcing, and suppliers. You will review supplier quality documentation, monitor supplier performance, investigate manufacturing issues, and help ensure suppliers are ready to support new-product introduction and production.

As you develop technical knowledge and experience, you will take increasing ownership of First Article Inspection reviews, routine supplier corrective actions, supplier-performance analysis, and qualification activities. Complex, high-risk, or business-critical decisions will be handled in partnership with senior members of the Supplier Quality team.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Review First Article Inspection packages against engineering drawings, specifications, dimensional results, and material and process certifications. Identify gaps in supplier evidence and, after appropriate training, approve packages within an assigned level of authority.
• Maintain First Article, supplier-qualification, audit, and quality records in Product Lifecycle Management and quality-management systems using established document, revision, and change-control practices.
• Monitor supplier scorecards and quality trends, including defects, parts per million, supplier escapes, audit findings, repeat nonconformances, and corrective-action aging. Summarize risks and escalate adverse trends.
• Issue and manage routine Supplier Corrective Action Requests with guidance as needed. Review supplier containment and 8D responses, track commitments and due dates, and help verify corrective-action effectiveness using objective evidence.
• Support new-supplier assessments and qualification activities, including reviews of technical capability, quality systems, manufacturing controls, inspection methods, traceability, capacity, and risk.
• Participate in supplier quality-system and manufacturing-process audits. Document observations, track assigned corrective actions, and help drive findings to closure.
• Support supplier readiness for new-product-introduction and pilot builds by reviewing inspection plans, process flows, process failure mode and effects analyses, control plans, measurement methods, and capability data where applicable.
• Assist with incoming-quality issues, nonconformance investigations, material disposition, deviations, supplier change notifications, and changes involving processes, tooling, manufacturing sites, or sub-tier suppliers.
• Use structured problem-solving methods such as 8D, 5 Whys, and fishbone analysis to investigate supplier and manufacturing-quality issues.
• Work with Engineering, Operations, Strategic Sourcing, and suppliers to communicate requirements, resolve quality issues, and drive assigned actions to closure.
