Just a kitchen, some might think.
But at Nobia, we know it's about something much bigger!
Behind every functional kitchen is a production where design, engineering, precision, and people work together. To ensure high quality throughout – from supplier to finished product – requires structured and proactive quality work. This is where you as an SQA Engineer come in.
Your Role with Us
As an SQA Engineer, you work together with the SQA Manager as part of Nobia's Supplier Quality Assurance team, responsible for the quality of purchased products and components from our suppliers. The role is both operational and preventive, with a focus on reducing quality defects and driving continuous improvements in the supplier chain.
You work closely with procurement, production, supply chain, and product development to identify, analyze, and address deviations while ensuring quality requirements are integrated early in processes and changes. The work includes supplier follow-up, deviation management, root cause analysis, improvement plans, PDI, and where necessary, supplier audits – with the goal of creating stable deliveries, high product quality, and increased customer satisfaction.
In your role as SQA Engineer, you will, among other things:
Act as an escalation function in the NCP process toward suppliers when needed and contribute to follow-up and improvement through KPIs.
Ensure that supplier and product quality meet Nobia's requirements, standards, and guidelines through proactive quality work.

In collaboration with the SQA Manager, lead and further develop the supplier evaluation process within quality, environment, sustainability, health & safety (H&S), and CSR.
Analyze quality deviations and trends based on internal and external feedback and drive improvement measures.
