This role spans across a wide range of weapon systems, from tactical missiles to strategic defense products.

You will review and analyze large quantities of data and identify systemic issues impacting supplier performance.

• Coach critical suppliers how to perform process/procedure self-audits on selected components and assemblies for certain characteristics.
• Communicate progress to stakeholders.
