## Description

We are seeking a Supplier Sourcing Engineer to drive the strategic supply network development and cost management of our product hardware across their lifecycles.

As the Supplier Sourcing Engineer, you will be responsible for engineering support, vendor onboarding & development, as well as sourcing, pricing, and negotiating for the total Bill of Material (BOM).

Your key responsibilities will include:

- Deep diving into engineering Bill of Material (BOM) to ensure parts being designed can be sourced & procured at a reasonable target level.

- Conducting supplier selection for specific products, leveraging our approved supplier list as well as working to onboard unique vendors to support the needs of the Space & Intelligence business team.

- Driving on time delivery utilizing unique solutions to break the mould of traditional Space industry lead-times and supply constraints.

- Partnering with strategic suppliers to accelerate product development via activities such as concept scoping, feature trade-off/trade tables, should cost/clean sheet models, joint design development, simulation of mechanical & electronics designs.

- Driving the development and consolidation of a manufacturing BOM, working with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing, to ramp production internally and with our suppliers with high flexibility.

- Managing total cost of the program, including NPI & mass production throughout NPI.

- Conducting value-stream mapping to optimise supply network lead time and flexibility.

- Completing the BOM risk assessment, including alternate component sourcing, etc.

- Ensuring completion of all component qualifications, ahead of production.

- Reducing complexity: commonality optimisation & component/supplier rationalisation.

- Leading all cost engineering activities to converge the bottoms-up cost curve to product cost, maximising the total cost of ownership (TCO) across the product lifecycle.

- Managing ad-hoc cost issues, e.g., tariffs / import export cost, and cost inflation.

- Managing supply issues as they arise, ensuring on time delivery at or below target cost.

We require a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or other technical field and 5+ years of experience in sourcing engineering, supplier engagement and development, or design of electronics and/or mechanical devices.

Active U.S. Secret or TS clearance and ability to maintain clearance is also required.

Preferred qualifications include a Master’s degree or advanced technical degree, deeper experience within design & development of electronics and/or mechanical devices, advanced sourcing activities, supplier development, early supplier engagement, familiarity with developing high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment, exposure to working in a fast-pace, start-up environment, direct experience in the Space industry, and experience negotiating and managing commercial subcontracts.

The salary range for this role is $129,000-$171,000 USD.
