Technical Knowledge:
 Responsible for the development of Bearing, Standard Catalog and machined
parts based on the specified drawings, international standards, work Norms and
specifications in coordination with the Global Commodity Team.
 Good Knowledge in bearing manufacturing process.
 Evaluate bearing designs, specifications, and manufacturing processes
 Experience with forging, machining, heat treatment, and surface finishing of
bearing components.
 Strong understanding of bearing failure modes, lubrication, and life calculations.
 Validate supplier testing capabilities (e.g., vibration analysis, noise testing,
endurance rigs)
 Able to define process for qualification for above bearing and catalog parts at
existing and new suppliers., for example: testing/qualifying criteria including
process, and manufacturing ability assessment's,
 Supplier selection, qualification, evaluation, development, etc. considering the
required drawings, technical standards and Work Norms.
 Planning and realization of VDA 6.3. process audits at the supplier and technical
discussions, Release of Supplier, and maintaining the supplier, for continuous
improvement.
 Knowledge of global bearing suppliers and sourcing trends
 Should have good knowledge in Non-Destructive Testing like UT, MPT & PT,
especially for bearing componentsRoles and Responsibilities
 Supplier Qualification: Perform audits (Process, Product, Quality systems,
Preassessment/Compliance) to assure that the suppliers have an effective
process, product acceptance standard implemented. Identify & communicate
best practices/risks. Trigger and follow through on supplier improvement
programs.
 Supplier Inspections: Conduct or supervise physical inspections of Bearing parts.
 Provide technical guidance to suppliers to assure compliance with engineering
drawings and specifications.
 Co-ordinate with internal stakeholders and customers to ensure timely
inspection, documentation, and clearance of the offered items to meet project
deliverables.
 Non-Conformity Management: For all defects, either in-process at supplier’s
works, establish a robust action plan to lead/support the RCA, CAPA and
containment actions to minimize impact & prevent reoccurrence.
 Manage Supplier Deviation Request (SDR) activities as owner of the process
and the first technical interface between the suppliers.
 Work closely with Sourcing, Quality and Engineering teams to be proactive in
supplier selection.
 A technical discussion as well as the detailed explanation of the technical terms
of delivery, work standards and drawings can be done with the supplier if
required. The use of the first samples is defined in the project

experience
