TL;DR · Senior Product Sourcing Engineer, Deployed Special Projects

As a Senior Product Sourcing Engineer on the Deployed Special Projects team, you will architect critical supply chains and cost strategies for hardware from concept through deployment. You will work directly with engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams to manage supplier selection, conduct value-stream mapping, and perform BOM risk assessments. Your daily responsibilities include managing CAPEX during new product introduction, performing cost engineering activities to optimize total cost of ownership, and coordinating component qualifications. To succeed, you must possess expertise in procurement engineering, electronics or mechanical device design, and high-mix, low-volume production environments. You will utilize skills in concept scoping, feature trade-off analysis, and simulation of mechanical and electronics designs. This role addresses the challenge of developing advanced defense technology by ensuring supply network flexibility and reducing complexity through component and supplier rationalization.

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 ramp production with internal teams and suppliers.
  • 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 alternate component sourcing and component qualifications.
  • Reduce complexity through commonality optimization and component/supplier rationalization.
  • Lead cost engineering activities to align bottom-up costs with 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 approximately 60% 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 is preferred.
  • Experience with high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment is preferred.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
