TL;DR · Senior Product Sourcing Engineer, Core Tech

The Senior Product Sourcing Engineer joins the Core Tech team to drive strategic supply network development and cost management for product hardware across its entire lifecycle. This role involves collaborating cross-functionally with engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams to manage supplier selection, conduct value-stream mapping, and perform BOM risk assessments. The engineer will lead cost engineering activities to optimize total cost of ownership, manage CAPEX during new product introduction, and handle issues like tariff costs or inflation. Key responsibilities include developing manufacturing BOMs, performing component qualifications, and executing commonality optimization to reduce complexity. The ideal candidate possesses expertise in value and procurement engineering for electronics and mechanical devices. Required skills include experience in supplier engagement, design of hardware components, and managing high-mix, low-volume production environments while navigating complex supply chain logistics and technical requirements.

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 (CAPEX) throughout the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase.
  • Perform value-stream mapping to optimize supply network lead times and flexibility.
  • Conduct 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.
  • 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 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 (preferred).
  • Experience in electronics/mechanical design, advanced sourcing, supplier development, or early supplier engagement (preferred).
  • Familiarity with high-tech products in high-mix, low-volume environments and startup environments; ability to obtain a U.S. TS clearance (preferred).
