- Assure supplier understanding of and compliance with GM 1927, APQP, PPAP, Run@Rate, and GPDP deliverables; review and approve Control Plans, PFMEAs, Process Flows, MSA and capability studies.
- Conduct on-site assessments of supplier manufacturing processes, BIQ/GMS implementation, and quality management systems; drive closure of gaps via formal action plans.
- Lead structured problem solving (8D, 5-Why, Red X, DMAIC) for supplier-caused issues impacting plants, launches, warranty, JD Power, or safety; ensure robust containment, verified root cause, and systemic corrective actions, including read-across.
- Implement and monitor supplier part qualification and certification (PPAP, Run@Rate), including sample submission, capacity verification, and ongoing performance tracking.
- Lead or approve Part-Specific Supplier Quality Statements of Requirements (SQ SOR) and Part-Specific Quality & Process CG content based on lessons learned, warranty, and launch issues.

- Partner with GPS plants (engine, transmission, and CCA/Reman operations) to protect production: support emergency containment, shutdown/startup readiness, SD/SU audits, and restart verification.
- Use line, field, and warranty data (PRTS, Warranty Cube, GCA, DRR, JD Power) to identify chronic issues, prioritize work, and measure effectiveness of corrective actions.
- Mentor level 6 SQEs and act as technical coach on APQP/PPAP, CS1/CS2, problem solving, and use of GM 1927 standards; model Level 7 behaviors in ownership, judgment, and cross-functional leadership.
- Represent GPS SQ in sourcing, Tech Reviews, M7 discussions, and Executive reviews; provide clear quality risk assessments and recommendations tied to supplier performance and readiness.

- Demonstrated expertise with core supplier quality processes: APQP, PPAP, Run@Rate, PFMEA, Control Plan, MSA, capability analysis, and IATF 16949-based QMS.
- Strong print reading and GD&T skills, including gage design/function and understanding of dimensional strategies for castings, machined, and assembled components.
- Proven ability to lead complex cross-functional problem solving using quantitative tools (Red X, DFSS/DMAIC, SPC, DOE) and to close issues through verified, sustainable corrective actions.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple programs and supplier decks simultaneously, exercising independent judgment and influencing without direct authority.
- Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills with experience interfacing directly with suppliers and senior internal stakeholders.
