  • Architect the manufacturing Bill of Materials (mBOM) in collaboration with Quality and Manufacturing teams.
  • Manage CapEx budgets and tooling investments to optimize design, durability, and capacity scaling.
  • Conduct value-stream mapping to identify bottlenecks and improve supply chain lead times.
  • Perform BOM risk assessments and implement dual-sourcing strategies to ensure supply continuity.
  • Oversee supplier readiness reviews, First Article Inspections, and technical component qualifications before production.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 3+ years of experience in sourcing engineering, supplier engagement, or designing electronic/mechanical devices.
  • Expertise in value/procurement engineering or TCO-related work at the component and product levels.
  • Ability to travel between 10% and 40% as required by program needs.
  • Ability to relocate to Costa Mesa, CA if not already local.
  • Master’s degree or advanced technical degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering is preferred.
  • Experience with high-tech products in aerospace, defense, automotive, or robotics environments is preferred.
