TL;DR · Senior Product Sourcing Engineer

The Senior Product Sourcing Engineer drives the strategic supply network development and cost management for product hardware 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 sourcing. The role involves managing CAPEX during NPI, performing cost engineering activities to align bottom-up costs with product costs, and handling issues like tariffs or inflation. Key responsibilities include simplifying designs through commonality optimization and ensuring all components are qualified before production begins. The ideal candidate possesses expertise in value and procurement engineering for electronics and mechanical devices. Required skills include experience in supplier engagement, design of mechanical or electronic systems, and managing high-mix, low-volume environments to solve complex supply chain challenges within the defense technology sector.

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 support production scaling.
  • Manage capital expenditures (CAPEX) throughout the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase.
  • Perform value-stream mapping to optimize supply network lead times and flexibility.
  • Conduct BOM risk assessments including the identification of alternate component sources.
  • Lead cost engineering activities to align bottom-up costs with total cost of ownership goals.
  • Manage ad-hoc cost issues such as tariffs, import/export costs, and inflation.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in supply chain, engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 8+ 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 obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
  • Experience with advanced sourcing activities including commodity or sourcing management.
  • Familiarity with developing high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment.
  • 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.
