You'll sit at the intersection of engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing: translating technical requirements into clear supplier packages, negotiating cost and lead time, and making sure the right boards show up, on time, at the right quality. * Manage contract manufacturers – build strong relationships, align on capabilities and capacity, and drive performance on cost, quality, lead time, and responsiveness, including on-site visits of contract manufacturers * Optimize cost and lead time – run competitive RFQs, analyze trade-offs (volume, lead time, technology level), and negotiate pricing and terms with CMs. * Data-driven and detail-oriented – you spot inconsistencies in BOMs/specs, track multiple orders in parallel, and use data (lead times, yields, costs) to drive decisions. * Tool-savvy – experience with ERP/MRP systems and common engineering tools (e.g. Altium/KiCad/Cadence exports, Excel/Sheets ...
