The Impact You'll Make

 

As our Supplier Quality Intern, you’ll play a key role in monitoring supplier quality issues and initiate and follow up the credit note processes.

Your impact? Success means establishing a seamless bridge between quality deviations, material disposition, and financial recovery. By ensuring that non-conforming materials are efficiently rejected, inspected, and returned, and that the associated credit notes and scrap are tracked accurately. The SQE team will benefit from your structured follow-ups, resulting in faster dispute resolutions, minimized Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ), and stronger supplier accountability.

You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams such as Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations, and Accounts Payable and take ownership of the end-to-end material rejection and financial recovery workflows, helping us move toward a more efficient future.

What You’ll Be Doing

 

  • Lead the creation, monitoring, and administrative workflow of the supplier credit note process to ensure timely financial recovery for quality defects.
  • Support the Supplier Quality Engineering team by monitoring key performance indicators (such as COPQ), generating accurate KPI reports.
  • Collaborate with external suppliers to communicate quality issues, coordinate the shipment/collection of rejected materials, and participate in cross-functional PPAP projects.
  • Use your skills in data management and quality control to create robust inspection plans and optimize the process of the incoming inspection of raw material.
  • Continuously learn and share knowledge regarding supplier quality standards to enhance how we operate and minimize supply chain disruptions.

What We're Looking For

 

  • Active student of Industrial Engineering or a related field, with a strong interest in quality assurance and manufacturing processes.
  • Proficiency in MS Office (specifically Excel for KPI tracking and data analysis), with an eagerness to learn ERP systems (SAP), material inspection tools, and quality documentation.
  • Ability to work well both independently when managing material rejection workflows and collaboratively within cross-functional teams.
  • Strong communication skills in written and spoken English, essential for maintaining clear and assertive communication with international suppliers regarding quality claims.
  • A mindset of continuous improvement, high attention to detail, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

What You'll Get from Us

 

  1. We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
  2. You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
  3. We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
  4. You’ll receive benefits like 13th salary, annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.
