Lead Form's Supplier Industrialization Engineering and Supplier Quality organization, growing a team of engineers embedded across battery materials, components, and equipment categories.

Own the end-to-end industrialization journey for direct materials and made-to-spec components, from design-for-manufacturability review and supplier selection through tooling qualification and sustaining production support.

Build and own Form's supplier quality management system, including PPAP, APQP, PFMEA, control plans, and SCAR/8D corrective action processes, calibrated for a novel battery chemistry with no legacy supply base to borrow from.

Set the technical bar for supplier selection and qualification, partnering with Global Supply Managers to ensure our sourcing strategy is backed by suppliers who can deliver on cost, quality, and schedule.

Own supplier process capability and yield performance, coordinating with Design Engineering, Manufacturing, and Reliability teams to drive root cause analysis and corrective action when issues surface.

Develop the roadmap and staffing plan for quality systems aligned to relevant standards (e.g., ISO 9001, IATF 16949) at a scale and stage appropriate to where Form is today and where we are headed.

Represent supplier technical and quality readiness within the Product Development Process, ensuring every component and supplier is qualified ahead of commercial scale.

Partner with Supply Chain leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to align supplier roadmaps with Form's build plan and deployment targets.

What you'll bring:

Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Materials Engineering, or a related technical field.

12+ years of experience in supplier industrialization, quality, or manufacturing engineering, including at least 5 years in a people leadership role building and scaling a team.

Demonstrated expertise across DFM/DFA, PPAP, APQP, FMEA, SPC, and structured root cause methodologies (8D, 5 Whys).
