Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

Job Overview

The Supplier Quality Systems & Technology Engineer will define, build, and scale the systems that underpin Saronic’s supplier quality and broader supply chain operations. This role sits at the intersection of supplier quality, operations, and technology, responsible for translating real-world manufacturing and quality needs into scalable digital systems and workflows.

You will help architect and implement supplier quality and supply chain systems from the ground up, balancing near-term execution with long-term scalability. This includes evaluating and deploying off-the-shelf tools, defining requirements for internal software development, and ensuring systems are practical, efficient, and aligned with how the business actually operates.

The ideal candidate is highly adaptable, systems-minded, and pragmatic, capable of building high-caliber solutions without overengineering or blindly replicating legacy defense contractor models. You will work closely with Supplier Quality, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, and Software teams to create systems that evolve with Saronic as it scales.

Responsibilities
  • Define and execute the roadmap for supplier quality systems and supporting supply chain infrastructure

  • Translate supplier quality, manufacturing, and operational needs into clear system requirements and workflows

  • Partner with software engineering teams to scope, design, and implement internal tools where needed

  • Evaluate, select, and implement off-the-shelf software solutions (e.g., QMS, supplier management, traceability tools)

  • Build scalable processes for supplier qualification, performance management, nonconformance handling, and corrective actions

  • Ensure systems balance speed, usability, and rigor—avoiding unnecessary complexity or “checkbox” processes

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality, and Engineering to align systems with operational realities

  • Anticipate future scaling needs and design systems that can evolve with increasing production volume and supplier complexity

  • Drive data visibility and reporting across supplier quality metrics to enable better decision-making

  • Continuously improve systems and workflows based on feedback, performance, and changing business needs

Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, or related field

  • 4+ years of experience in supplier quality, manufacturing quality, supply chain systems, or related roles

  • Experience working with or implementing quality management systems (QMS) and/or supply chain software platforms

  • Strong understanding of supplier quality processes (e.g., qualification, audits, SCAR/CAPA, performance management)

  • Experience translating operational needs into system or software requirements

  • Ability to work effectively with both technical (engineering, quality, software) and non-technical stakeholders

  • Demonstrated ability to build or improve systems in fast-paced, scaling environments

  • Strong problem-solving skills with a pragmatic, execution-focused mindset

Benefits
  • Medical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services

  • Saronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents

  • Dental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care

  • Saronic pays 99% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents

  • Time Off: Generous PTO and Holidays

  • Parental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents

  • Competitive Salary: Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses

  • Retirement Plan: 401(k) plan

  • Stock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success

  • Life and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage

  • Additional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free drinks and snacks in the office
