TL;DR · Supply Chain Lead

The Supply Chain Lead joins the Maneuver Dominance team to manage the strategic supply network and cost management for an early-stage autonomous air vehicle program. This role involves collaborating with engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams to drive the development of a manufacturing BOM, conduct value-stream mapping, and perform risk assessments for component sourcing. The individual will lead cost engineering activities, manage CAPEX during new product introduction, and engage with strategic suppliers on concept scoping, feature trade-offs, and joint design development. Key responsibilities include reducing complexity through commonality optimization and managing costs related to tariffs or inflation. Candidates must possess a master's degree in mechanical engineering and experience in electronics or mechanical device development, advanced sourcing, and supplier development within high-mix, low-volume environments. The role addresses the challenge of re-inventing an existing platform with integrated autonomy and mission systems.

What you'll do

  • Select suppliers for specific products using the approved supplier list.
  • Partner with strategic suppliers to accelerate product development through concept scoping and joint design.
  • Develop and consolidate manufacturing Bills of Materials (BOM) to support internal and external production.
  • Manage capital expenditures (CAPEX) throughout the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase.
  • Conduct value-stream mapping to optimize supply network lead times and flexibility.
  • Perform BOM risk assessments including alternate component sourcing and component qualifications.
  • Reduce complexity through commonality optimization and component/supplier rationalization.
  • Lead cost engineering activities to manage total cost of ownership and mitigate inflation or tariff impacts.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree or advanced technical degree in mechanical engineering.
  • Experience in the design and development of electronics and/or mechanical devices.
  • Experience in advanced sourcing activities, including roles as commodity or sourcing managers.
  • Experience in supplier development regarding technology, process, and supply chain.
  • Experience with early supplier engagement before product or engineering requirements are finalized.
  • Familiarity with developing high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, start-up environment.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.
