Supplier Quality Engineer (San Jose, CA)
Location: Remote – Must Reside in the San Jose / Bay Area, CA
Type: Full-Time | Remote | Local Travel
Be the Quality Voice in Bay Area Manufacturing
At Fictiv, we're transforming how quality and trust are built into the hardware supply chain. As a Supplier Quality Engineer (SQE), you'll work 100% remotely while serving as the boots-on-the-ground liaison to our Bay Area manufacturing partners.
This is a unique opportunity to combine remote flexibility with meaningful local impact—strengthening the supply base right in the heart of Silicon Valley.
What You'll Do
• Onboard & Grow Partners – Evaluate and develop Bay Area suppliers, build robust control plans, and strengthen their ability to deliver consistent results.
• Solve Problems That Stick – Lead root cause analysis, guide corrective actions, and drive preventive solutions with long-term impact.
• Raise the Bar – Use scorecards, maturity models, and QMS improvements to push supplier performance forward.
• Be Everywhere Quality Matters – Travel regularly to supplier sites in the San Jose / Bay Area, with only occasional U.S. trips as needed.
• Advocate for Customers – Represent the voice of our customers inside every manufacturing partner conversation.
What You Bring
• 5+ years in supplier-facing quality engineering, preferably in mechanical hardware or components
• Strong mix of relationship-building and accountability with suppliers
• A process-driven mindset—you think in systems, not quick fixes
• Ability to make decisions with limited data while keeping business outcomes in mind
• Experience with ISO 9001, AS9100, or structured quality systems
• Strong communicator—comfortable onsite, remote, and cross-functional
Why You'll Love Working Here
• Remote Flexibility – Work from home while living in the Bay Area.
• Local Impact – Be the visible face of quality at suppliers in your community.
• Grow with Us – Be part of a mission-driven company scaling fast, with opportunities to shape how we manage quality across a national network.
• Competitive Pay – Salary range: $95,000 – $125,000, depending on experience.
About the Role
This is a remote but highly local field-driven position. Travel will be primarily focused within the San Jose / Bay Area, with occasional U.S. travel if needed. Candidates must reside in the Bay Area, CA region to be considered.
