TL;DR · BOM Sourcing Engineer, Supply Chain

The BOM Sourcing Engineer joins the supply chain team to drive strategic supply network development and cost management for product hardware across its entire lifecycle. Working cross-functionally with engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams, this individual manages supplier selection, conducts value-stream mapping to optimize lead times, and performs risk assessments including alternate component sourcing. Key responsibilities include managing CAPEX during new product introduction, performing cost engineering activities to align bottom-up costs with total cost of ownership, and reducing complexity through commonality optimization and component rationalization. The role requires expertise in procurement engineering, electronics and mechanical device design, and supplier engagement. Candidates must possess a technical degree and experience in high-mix, low-volume environments. This position addresses the challenge of managing complex hardware manufacturing requirements while navigating issues like tariff impacts and cost inflation within the defense technology sector.

What you'll do

  • Select suppliers for specific products using the approved supplier list.
  • Partner with strategic suppliers to conduct concept scoping, feature trade-offs, and joint design development.
  • Develop and consolidate manufacturing Bills of Materials (BOM) to support production scaling.
  • Manage capital expenditures (CAPEX) throughout the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase.
  • Perform value-stream mapping to optimize supply network lead times and flexibility.
  • Conduct BOM risk assessments and identify alternate component sources.
  • Ensure all components are qualified before the start of production.
  • Lead cost engineering activities to minimize total cost of ownership across the product lifecycle.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or another technical field.
  • 3+ years of experience in sourcing engineering, supplier engagement and development, or design of electronics and/or mechanical devices.
  • Domain expertise in value/procurement engineering or TCO-related work at the component and product level.
  • Ability to travel up to 25% of the time.
  • Ability to relocate to Costa Mesa, CA if not already local.
  • Master's degree or advanced technical degree preferred.
  • Experience with high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment preferred.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
