Supplier Quality Engineering
Ensure overall quality
The supplier quality engineer takes on the tasks of documentation, devising quality tests and defining the criteria a test result should meet. This engineering specialty also plays a role in correcting issues with manufacturing or materials resources when they arise. Early engagement of a supplier quality engineer is one of the most under-utilized opportunities in medical device development. It pays to know that your manufactured medical device or life science product meets safety standards and market expectations.
Overcome weaknesses
Supplier quality engineers work with stakeholders at every phase of manufacturing. They identify product weaknesses and test for durability. The SQEs source suppliers to ensure raw materials and components meet standards. Quality engineers also oversee the teams performing manufacturing processes to ensure your quality standards are met.
