  • 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 mechanical engineering or another technical field.
  • 6+ years of experience in sourcing engineering, supplier engagement and development, or design of mechanical/electrical 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 programs.
  • Ability to relocate to Costa Mesa, CA if not already local.
  • Master's degree or advanced technical degree preferred.
  • Experience in high-mix, low-volume high-tech product development and fast-paced startup environments preferred.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
