Do you want to use your quality expertise to help create technology that supports better outcomes for patients? At Siemens Healthineers Magnet Technology, we bring together skilled people with different perspectives to solve complex challenges and continually improve how we work. As our Supplier Quality Engineer, you will have the opportunity to influence quality across our supply chain and manufacturing operations, build constructive supplier partnerships, and make improvements that have a visible and lasting impact.
About The Role
This is a hands-on and collaborative opportunity for a quality professional who enjoys combining technical problem-solving with relationship building.
You will help ensure the quality of products and processes across our supply chain and manufacturing operations. Working closely with suppliers and colleagues in Procurement, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Manufacturing, you will lead investigations, support effective corrective action, and identify opportunities to strengthen quality performance.
You will be empowered to use insight, evidence, and recognised quality methods to reduce issues, manage risk, and support continuous improvement. The role offers variety across supplier engagement, manufacturing support, auditing, compliance, and data analysis, giving you the opportunity to broaden your experience while making a meaningful contribution to our business.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building constructive relationships with suppliers and helping them improve quality performance through structured reviews, clear measures, and agreed improvement plans.
- Managing supplier non-conformances and coordinating proportionate, sustainable corrective actions.
- Reviewing supplier containment activity, root-cause analysis, and corrective-action plans to ensure they address the underlying issue.
- Supporting supplier qualification, approval, performance monitoring, and change-management activities.
- Partnering with Procurement, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Manufacturing to resolve challenges and improve supplier quality.
- Providing practical day-to-day quality support to manufacturing and shop-floor colleagues.
- Leading containment and root-cause investigations using methods such as 8D, 5 Why, Ishikawa, and CAPA.
- Supporting concession, deviation, and non-conformance processes in line with company procedures.
- Planning, conducting, and reporting supplier audits, while also contributing to internal audits and compliance assessments.
- Verifying the effectiveness of corrective actions arising from audits and investigations.
- Identifying risks and improvement opportunities across supplier and internal manufacturing processes.
- Monitoring quality indicators and analysing trends to uncover recurring concerns, emerging risks, and improvement opportunities.
- Creating clear reports and dashboards that make supplier and manufacturing quality performance visible.
- Sharing findings and practical recommendations with management and cross-functional colleagues.
- Supporting the maintenance and continual improvement of our Quality Management System.
- Encouraging a positive culture in which quality, compliance, shared learning, and continuous improvement are part of everyday work.
