Supplier Quality Engineer

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

OUR MISSION

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

OUR VALUES

• Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.

• What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.

• It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

YOUR MISSION

As a Supplier Quality Engineer at True Anomaly, you will play a vital role in ensuring the supplier base delivers flight-quality hardware to orbit. Reporting to the Manager of Supplier Development, you will own the quality systems and root cause processes that hold suppliers accountable across key technical domains, ensuring they meet True Anomaly's rigorous standards for quality, cost, and schedule. This role is ideal for a technically minded engineer who thrives at the intersection of engineering and supply chain — someone who can bridge the gap between our internal engineering teams and our supplier network, and who is passionate about driving data-driven decisions and scalable, resilient quality processes from the ground up.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR) process end to end — issuing SCARs, driving suppliers through structured root cause methodologies (5-Why, Fishbone, 8D), and verifying corrective action effectiveness before closure.

• Lead root cause and corrective action (RCCA) investigations on escapes and yield issues, refusing to accept 'operator error' as a final answer and pushing suppliers to systemic, process-level fixes.

• Build and maintain supplier quality data and statistical trending — defect rates, PPM, Cp/Cpk, first-pass yield — to identify systemic issues before they become escapes.

• Apply statistical process control (SPC) and measurement system analysis (Gage R&R) to evaluate whether a supplier's process is actually capable and in control, not just passing inspection.

• Create and disposition non-conformance reports (NCRs); coordinate rework, repair, and use-as-is dispositions with design and program engineering.
