TL;DR · Senior Procurement Engineer

As a Senior Procurement Engineer, you will join the team to drive strategic supply network development and cost management for product hardware across its entire lifecycle. You will collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams to manage supplier selection, conduct value-stream mapping, and perform BOM risk assessments including component sourcing. Your daily responsibilities involve managing CAPEX during NPI, performing cost engineering activities to optimize total cost of ownership, and reducing complexity through commonality optimization and supplier rationalization. The role requires a technical background in engineering with expertise in procurement engineering, electronics, or mechanical devices. You will utilize skills in concept scoping, feature trade-off analysis, and should cost modeling to solve complex supply chain challenges within the defense technology sector, specifically focusing on high-mix, low-volume production environments for advanced hardware systems.

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 enable production flexibility.
  • Manage capital expenditures throughout the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase.
  • Perform value-stream mapping to optimize supply network lead times and flexibility.
  • Conduct BOM risk assessments including alternate component sourcing and component qualifications.
  • Reduce complexity through commonality optimization and component/supplier rationalization.
  • Lead cost engineering activities to manage total cost of ownership and address issues like tariffs or inflation.

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 needed.
  • Ability to relocate to Costa Mesa, CA if not already local.
  • Master's degree or advanced technical degree preferred.
  • Experience in high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment preferred.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
