TL;DR · Product Sourcing Engineer, Autonomous Airpower

The Product Sourcing Engineer joins the Autonomous Airpower team to drive strategic supply network development and cost management for the Fury product portfolio 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 BOM risk assessments including component qualification and sourcing. The role involves managing CAPEX during NPI, performing cost engineering activities to align bottom-up costs with total cost of ownership, and handling issues like tariffs or inflation. Key responsibilities include simplifying designs through commonality optimization and collaborating on concept scoping and feature trade-offs. The ideal candidate possesses expertise in procurement engineering, mechanical or electronic device design, and high-mix, low-volume production environments. Required skills include experience in sourcing engineering, supplier engagement, and technical proficiency in manufacturing BOM development.

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 joint design.
  • Develop and consolidate manufacturing Bills of Materials (BOM) to support production scaling.
  • Manage capital expenditures throughout the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase.
  • Conduct value-stream mapping to optimize supply network lead times and flexibility.
  • Perform 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 supply chain, engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 3+ years of experience in sourcing engineering, supplier engagement, development, or design of electronics/mechanical devices.
  • Domain expertise in value/procurement engineering or TCO-related work at the component and product level.
  • Ability to travel between 10% and 40% of the time based on program needs.
  • Ability to relocate to Costa Mesa, CA if not already local.
  • Master's degree or advanced technical degree in mechanical engineering is preferred.
  • Experience with high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment is preferred.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
