This position reports to: Quality Manager, Traction & Mobile e-Power Motors.

Become part of ABB Traction Motors in Västerås and contribute to the development and manufacturing of electric motors for sustainable transportation. As a Supplier Quality Engineer, you’ll have specific responsibility for cast components and related manufacturing processes, while the role also includes quality assurance work related to other components and processes in the motor.

You’ll be part of a diverse team whose shared mission is to support quality assurance efforts, whether in our own production or at suppliers’ facilities.

You will ensure that purchased components meet ABB’s technical specifications, quality requirements, and customer expectations. Working closely with suppliers, Engineering, Project Management, Production Quality, and Supply Chain Management, you will drive supplier qualification, quality assurance, and continuous improvement. We have long-standing relationships with our suppliers of castings. The role involves significant collaboration with them, but only limited travel.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead the qualification and approval of suppliers for cast components.
• Drive the PPAP process and approval of production samples in collaboration with relevant internal functions.
• Conduct supplier audits and process assessments in Sweden and internationally.
• Manage supplier nonconformities and drive corrective actions through structured 8D reports.
• Support suppliers in improving casting processes, process control, and product quality.
• Contribute quality expertise in the selection and development of new suppliers.

The position is based at our manufacturing facility in Västerås, where you will work closely with operations and collaborate with many different departments. The role primarily involves on-site work, with a few occasional trips per year. Are you passionate about quality and continuous improvement, and do you enjoy collaborating across functional boundaries to achieve common goals? If so, this could be the position for you.

Qualifications:

• You have several years of experience in supplier quality, manufacturing quality, or quality assurance.
• Experience with casting processes and cast components—whether in your quality work or otherwise—is highly desirable.
• You have knowledge of quality tools such as PPAP, control plans, process audits, root cause analysis, and 8D.
• Experience in the railway industry and knowledge of ISO 22163 are a plus.
• You are organized and results-oriented, and you enjoy working both independently and in cross-functional teams.
• You communicate well in Swedish and English and are willing to travel to suppliers as needed.
