Senior Supplier Quality Engineer (Electrical/Electronics)
About the role
Welcome to the world of land-based gaming. At Light & Wonder, it’s all about the games, and our Gaming team builds cutting-edge technology, products, and content for the most iconic casinos and operators across the globe. We are seeking a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to own supplier and component quality across our electronic hardware commodities — with deep, hands-on experience in displays, CPUs/processors, and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA).

- Lead supplier qualification, on-site audits, and ongoing performance management for component and contract manufacturers, including domestic and overseas partners (ODM/EMS).
- Drive the quality core tools — APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, and SPC — and review and approve supplier submissions, first-article inspections, and control plans.
- Investigate and resolve component and assembly failures using structured problem-solving (8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa/fishbone), and coordinate failure analysis with suppliers and internal labs.
- Manage nonconformance (NCMR), containment, and supplier corrective action (SCAR) processes, ensuring timely and effective closure.
- Establish and track commodity quality metrics (DPPM, first-pass yield, RMA/field return rates) and drive continuous improvement against targets.
- Define incoming inspection criteria and reliability/qualification test plans for displays, processors, and PCBA, and interpret results to make sound accept/reject decisions.
- Ensure compliance with applicable workmanship and industry standards (e.
- , IPC-A-610, IPC/J-STD-001) and internal specifications.
- Partner cross-functionally with design/hardware engineering, procurement, operations, and program management to represent the voice of quality in design reviews and sourcing decisions.
- Support root-cause and containment activities for field issues, and feed lessons learned back into design and process controls.
- than those stated above.
What you'll bring
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical field.
- 7+ years of quality engineering experience in electronics or hardware manufacturing, with a proven track record in supplier/commodity quality.
- Direct, hands-on commodity experience with display technologies (LCD/OLED/LED), CPUs/SoCs/processors, and PCBA.
- Strong command of the quality core tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, SPC) and statistical problem-solving.
- Proficiency with structured root-cause and corrective-action methodologies (8D, 5-Why, fishbone) and demonstrated results driving supplier improvement.
- Working knowledge of PCBA workmanship and reliability standards such as IPC-A-610 and IPC/J-STD-001.
- Experience conducting supplier audits and managing supplier performance.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence cross-functional teams and external suppliers.
- ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) and/or Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification.
- Experience with ISO 9001 (and, where relevant, ISO 13485 or IATF 16949) quality management systems.
