  • Support sourcing and cost analysis for engineering changes, material transfers, and sustaining activities

Risk & Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Assess supplier capacity, lead time, quality, financial, geographic, and supply continuity risks
  • Develop mitigation plans for single-source, constrained, long-lead, and high-risk components
  • Represent Sourcing/Supply Chain in NPI core teams, program reviews, build readiness meetings, and launch activities
  • Communicate material status, supplier commitments, costs, risks, and recovery plans to stakeholders

What you'll bring:
