We deliver services by deploying associates who are located throughout the United States and in 90+ countries around the world to your supplier sites. Our associates are expert quality assurance professionals with broad experience and local knowledge who can represent our clients on-demand and on-site faster than our competitors.
What to Expect:
We are seeking a Senior Quality Assessor with specialized expertise in harness and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) to evaluate and ensure the quality of suppliers' manufacturing processes and products.

What You'll Do:
- Conduct detailed quality assessments of harness and PCBA manufacturing processes at suppliers' facilities.
- Evaluate the potential failure mechanisms specific to harnesses and PCBA components and ensure alignment with industry standards.

- Review and validate supplier documentation, including process flow diagrams, control plans, and quality reports.
- Work closely with suppliers to identify areas for improvement and recommend corrective actions where necessary.
- Perform in-depth technical analysis and failure mode evaluations for harnesses and PCBA assemblies.
- Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards such as IPC-A-610 (for PCBA), ISO 9001, and other applicable regulations.
- Provide orientation and training to junior assessors or associates, ensuring adherence to best practices and consistent assessment procedures.
- Liaise with suppliers to facilitate introductions, program orientation, and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) as required.
- Review assessment reports for consistency and alignment with client guidelines, ensuring thoroughness and clarity.
What You'll Need:
- Proven experience as a Senior Quality Assessor with a focus on harness and PCBA manufacturing.
- Proficiency in using the NADCAP tool for quality assessments and process evaluations is a plus
- Strong understanding of industry standards, including IPC-A-610, IPC-2221, ISO 9001, and others relevant to harness and PCBA processes.
- Expertise in evaluating and analyzing manufacturing processes, failure modes, and potential risks in harness and PCBA production.
- Familiarity with tools and methods for assessing product quality and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to recommend and implement corrective actions.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with suppliers, clients, and internal teams.
- Detail-oriented with the ability to thoroughly review reports and documentation for accuracy and compliance.
- Due to the nature of the products, US Citizenship is also a requirement, and background checks are required
Note: This role is specifically focused on the assessment of harness and PCBA manufacturing processes. The Senior Quality Assessor will not be conducting general Quality Management System (QMS) audits but will instead focus on ensuring the quality, reliability, and compliance of the supplier's manufacturing capabilities.
