Supplier Quality Engineer

Oxfordshire | Hybrid Working | Permanent

I'm currently working with an innovative and fast‑growing medical device organisation in Oxfordshire that's looking to appoint a Supplier Quality Engineer as part of its continued expansion.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a purpose‑driven business developing sophisticated implantable technology that genuinely improves patient lives. The company operates in a highly regulated environment and is moving into an exciting stage of clinical and manufacturing growth.

The Opportunity

As Supplier Quality Engineer, you will take ownership of the supplier quality management programme, working closely with Engineering, Manufacturing and Quality teams to ensure suppliers consistently meet regulatory, technical and quality requirements.

The role offers a hybrid working model, typically 3 days per week on site at a state‑of‑the‑art Oxfordshire facility, with regular UK and international travel to supplier sites.

Key Responsibilities

Lead supplier evaluation and onboarding activities

Plan and conduct supplier audits (remote and on‑site)

Manage supplier quality agreements and corrective actions (SCARs)

Act as the quality interface between suppliers and internal R&D and Manufacturing Engineering teams

Support design for manufacture through quality input into design reviews and risk management

Oversee supplier CAPAs, non‑conformances and complaint investigations

Support internal audits and preparation for external inspections

Analyse and report supplier performance trends to senior stakeholders

Ensure supplier compliance with ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820

Support supplier process validations (IQ/OQ/PQ) and capability studies (Cp/Cpk)

Where required, spend short periods working directly at supplier sites to oversee quality‑critical work

What I'm Looking For

Essential:

Degree in an engineering discipline (Mechanical, Biomedical, Electrical, Industrial or similar)

Proven experience in supplier quality engineering within a regulated industry (medical devices, aerospace, defence, etc.)

Strong experience conducting external supplier audits

Solid understanding of CAPA, non‑conformances, complaints and change control

Ability to interpret engineering drawings, tolerances and specifications

Willingness to travel regularly in the UK and internationally

Desirable:

ISO Lead Auditor certification

Six Sigma Green Belt (or above)

Experience with medical device materials and manufacturing processes

Knowledge of ISO 13485, MDR, UKCA and FDA 21 CFR Part 820

You'll suit this role if you're confident dealing with suppliers, enjoy working cross‑functionally, and thrive in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.

What's On Offer

Competitive salary based on experience

Hybrid working model

Private healthcare

Life assurance and income protection

Company pension scheme

Equity participation scheme

27 days annual leave plus bank holidays

The chance to play a key role in delivering genuinely life‑changing technology

If you're a Supplier Quality Engineer looking for your next step in a growing medical device business, I'd love to talk you through the role in more detail
