Our breakthrough Znyth™ aqueous zinc battery was designed to overcome the limitations of conventional lithium-ion technology. It is safe, scalable, efficient, sustainable, manufactured in the U.S., and the core of our innovative systems that today provides utility, industrial, and commercial customers with a proven, reliable energy storage alternative for 3 to 12-hour applications. Eos was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Edison, New Jersey. For more information about Eos (NASDAQ: EOSE), visit eose.com.
The Senior Supplier Quality Engineer owns and drives the technical rigor and effectiveness of the supplier quality program for our battery energy storage systems (BESS) — spanning all aspects of the BESS, such as the modules, packs, battery management systems (BMS), thermal management, enclosures, and power conversion components. This role is the technical authority linking engineering, manufacturing, and the global supply base, ensuring supplier materials and processes meet safety, performance, and reliability requirements for grid-scale and behind-the-meter energy storage. The engineer drives root cause resolution, qualification rigor, and continuous improvement across a supply chain where safety and long-term degradation performance are mission critical.
Job Responsibilities:
Own the technical strategy and rigor of the supplier quality program both for the BESS and BOS (balance-of-system) suppliers, setting inspection criteria, sampling plans, and acceptance methods
Lead supplier qualification and PPAP/APQP (or equivalent) for new parts, designs, and manufacturing process changes, including first-article and pilot-run approval
Drive root cause analysis (8D, 5-Why, fishbone) for supplier-related nonconformances and verify corrective action effectiveness
Conduct and lead supplier audits and process capability assessments at manufacturing sites; develop supplier scorecards and drive improvement plans
Partner with engineering to define incoming inspection requirements, critical-to-quality (CTQ) characteristics, and acceptance criteria for all supplied parts or services
Review and approve supplier PPAPs, control plans, FMEAs, and battery test reports (cycle life, abuse/safety, thermal runaway propagation, environmental)
Ensure supplier compliance with battery safety and transport standards, including UL 1973, UL 9540/9540A, IEC 62619, IEC 63056, UN 38.3, and applicable UL 1642/IEC 62133 cell-level requirements
Lead containment and disposition decisions for nonconforming supplier material (MRB), including cell/pack quarantine and safe-handling protocols
Establish statistical process control (SPC) requirements and monitor supplier process and cell performance trends (capacity, impedance, IR, yield) over time
Support supplier corrective action tied to field returns, warranty claims, and degradation/safety incident investigations
Mentor quality engineers and build technical capability within the SQE team
Present quality metrics, risk assessments, and improvement roadmaps to leadership and key customers
Education/Experience:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Materials, or Industrial Engineering, or related technical field (advanced degree a plus)
6+ years of experience in supplier quality, quality engineering, or manufacturing quality, with direct supplier-facing responsibility; experience with lithium-ion cells, battery packs, or energy storage systems strongly preferred
Demonstrated expertise in APQP/PPAP, FMEA, SPC, MSA, and root cause/corrective action methodologies
Working knowledge of battery cell chemistry, construction (cylindrical, prismatic, pouch), and failure modes (thermal runaway, capacity fade, internal short circuit)
Familiarity with battery safety and performance standards: UL 1973, UL 9540A, IEC 62619, IEC 62620, UN 38.3, UN/DOT transport requirements, and relevant grid-interconnection or NFPA 855 considerations
Experience auditing suppliers against ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or ISO 9001-based battery manufacturing quality systems
Strong working knowledge of GD&T, mechanical/electrical drawing interpretation, and dimensional and electrical inspection methods (capacity, impedance, OCV, ins
