Supplier Development Engineer, EE/EM

About

Meta Supplier Development Engineering team is looking for a supplier development engineer to be responsible for overall quality and manufacturing process development within the supply chain on Cable and Connector modules. This role requires a quality and manufacturing engineering background with the ability to independently manage workstreams across multiple concurrent development programs.

Responsibilities

• The Supplier Development Engineer will be responsible for overall Electrical/Electromechanical modules manufacturing process development and readiness within the supply chain
• Drive Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) activities with vendors and provide technical support in enhancing process capability and solving technical issues
• Identify equipment, fixture, and tooling needs and drive implementation efforts to qualify and optimize the manufacturing process
• Establish quality and process control plans at vendors for early detection of issues and to ensure quality and reliability targets are consistently met
• Responsible for conducting Design/Process FMEA, Failure analysis, PPAP, and Statistical Process Control
• Bring up and qualify the production line through DOEs, Line qualification, Machine Buy-off, Cycle Time & UPH studies, and Automation
• Evaluate prospective vendors for process capability based on project needs, then be a major part of supplier identification and selection
• Publish concise reports on module yield performance, specification convergence status; drive Failure analysis, Corrective Action implementation plan, and yield bridge to mass production
• Collaborate with Suppliers and Engineering teams in assessing, proposing, and developing process technologies based on project requirements

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering
• 5+ years of working experience in cable and connector industries. Demonstrated knowledge of manufacturing process design and supplier quality management
• Hands-on experience in EE/EM modules manufacturing process development with an understanding of equipment and methodologies commonly used in the industry
• Experience with quality tools such as SPC, FMEA, GR&R, DoE, metrology, GD&T, and Correlation studies
• Experience with the typical failure mode and its corresponding failure analysis methodology
• Experience with the reliability test plan to do quality risk assessment for Cable and Connector at component level
• Experience communicating technical findings to cross-functional teams and collaborating with suppliers and internal engineering stakeholders to resolve manufacturing issues
• Ability and willingness to travel up to 50% to vendors at different locations Master's degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering
• Experience with the optical cable manufacturing process and testing methodology
• Knowledgeable in the plating stack up solution proposal for required anti-corrosion performance on connector
• Have hands-on experience on other EE/EM modules quality and manufacturing management, such as Antenna, Fan and Audio etc
• Experience independently driving workstreams and delivering results with minimal supervision
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
