TL;DR · Senior NPI Sourcing Engineer

The Senior NPI Sourcing Engineer joins the team to drive strategic supply network development and cost management for product hardware across various lifecycles. 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 the NPI phase, performing cost engineering activities to align bottom-up costs with product totals, and addressing issues like tariff impacts or inflation. Key responsibilities include simplifying designs through commonality optimization and partnering with suppliers on concept scoping and joint design development. Required expertise includes electronics and mechanical device design, procurement engineering, and total cost of ownership analysis. The role addresses the challenge of developing high-tech products within a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing 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 joint design.
  • Develop and consolidate manufacturing Bills of Materials (BOM) to support production scaling.
  • Manage capital expenditures (CAPEX) 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 engineering or another technical field.
  • 5+ 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 between 10% and 40% of the time as required by program needs.
  • Ability to relocate to Costa Mesa, CA if not already local.
  • Master's degree or advanced technical degree preferred.
  • Experience in high-tech products within a high-mix, low-volume environment preferred.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
