TL;DR · Product Sourcing Engineer

The Product Sourcing Engineer joins the Launched Effects team to manage the strategic supply network and cost management for Altius family systems. This role involves collaborating with engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams to drive hardware development through supplier selection, concept scoping, and feature trade-off analysis. The engineer will develop manufacturing bills of materials, conduct value-stream mapping to optimize lead times, perform BOM risk assessments, and manage CAPEX throughout the new product introduction phase. Key responsibilities include leading cost engineering activities to minimize total cost of ownership while managing complexities like tariffs and inflation. Candidates should possess experience in electronics or mechanical device design, advanced sourcing, supplier development, and procurement engineering. The role focuses on solving manufacturing challenges for autonomous aerial systems requiring advanced composites and complex avionics within a high-mix, low-volume production environment.

What you'll do

  • Select suppliers for specific products using the approved supplier list.
  • Partner with strategic suppliers to accelerate product development through concept scoping and feature trade-offs.
  • Develop and consolidate manufacturing Bills of Materials (BOM) to scale production internally and with suppliers.
  • Manage all New Product Introduction (NPI) component procurement and associated capital expenditures.
  • Conduct value-stream mapping to optimize supply network lead times and flexibility.
  • Perform BOM risk assessments including the identification of alternate component sources.
  • Ensure all vendor 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

  • Candidates must have at least 5 years of experience in the field.
  • Experience in design and development of electronics or mechanical devices is required.
  • Experience in advanced sourcing activities including roles as commodity or sourcing managers is required.
  • Experience in supplier development across technology, process, and supply chain is required.
  • Candidates must have expertise in value/procurement engineering or TCO-related work at the component and product level.
  • Familiarity with developing high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment is required.
  • A Bachelor’s degree in engineering (BSME, BSEE) or another related technical degree is preferred.
  • U.S. Person status is required to access export-controlled data.
