TL;DR · Supply Chain Engineer, PCB

Supply Chain Engineer, PCB (Starlink) is a cross-functional role focused on ensuring the continuity of supply for printed circuit boards within the Starlink program. Working closely with internal engineering and manufacturing teams, you will manage suppliers to support the development and production flow of Satellites and Gateways. Daily responsibilities include identifying and onboarding new suppliers, implementing production part approval processes, monitoring quality metrics, and driving root cause failure analysis. You will also oversee statistical process control, yield improvement activities, and technical requirements for hardware manufacturing. The role requires expertise in PCB fabrication, electrochemical processes, and microelectronics. Preferred skills include experience with high-speed or RF applications, knowledge of PPAP, APQP, and Six Sigma methodologies, as well as familiarity with ISO quality systems to resolve complex supply chain issues and optimize production efficiency for space-based infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Manage the continuity of supply for printed circuit boards (PCBs) on the Starlink program.
  • Identify, audit, and onboard new suppliers to meet production goals.
  • Develop and implement supplier technical requirements and quality flow downs for hardware manufacturing.
  • Implement and monitor the production part approval process (PPAP) with selected suppliers.
  • Analyze supplier quality and delivery metrics to identify trends and drive improvement plans.
  • Drive supplier root cause failure analysis and corrective actions for quality gaps or defects.
  • Act as the internal owner of supplier statistical process control, yield improvements, and tool qualifications.
  • Provide technical feedback to suppliers to reduce costs, cycle times, and increase yields.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline.
  • Experience with printed circuit boards (PCBs), engineering laminates, electrochemical processes, and/or microelectronics fabrication.
  • Advanced degree in engineering, business, or supply chain is preferred.
  • Experience in electronics manufacturing, preferably for high-speed or RF applications.
  • Working knowledge of supplier quality processes such as PPAP, APQP, FAIR, RCCA, and lean methods.
  • Knowledge of quality systems including ISO 9000, TS, AS9100, and NADCAP.
  • Knowledge of statistical techniques such as SPC, design of experiments, and Six Sigma.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident, or eligible for export control authorizations.
