What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in supply chain, engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 6+ 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 ability to obtain a U.S. TS clearance (preferred).
