  • Partner with Engineering to review drawings, specifications, bills of material (BOMs), and engineering changes to ensure suppliers understand manufacturing requirements.
  • Support new product introduction (NPI) activities by coordinating supplier quotes, prototype builds, and material readiness.
  • Work closely with Planning, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supplier Quality to resolve supply chain issues, expedite critical hardware, and support production schedules.
  • Track supplier commitments, monitor delivery performance, and proactively communicate risks affecting production or program milestones.
  • Support supplier qualification activities, First Article Inspection (FAI), and quality requirements in coordination with Supplier Quality and Engineering.
  • Maintain accurate supplier data, pricing, lead times, and purchasing documentation within the ERP system.
  • Identify opportunities for cost savings, lead time improvements, and process efficiencies while supporting continuous improvement initiatives.
Required qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, Operations, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • 3+ years of experience in purchasing, sourcing, or supply chain management supporting manufacturing or aerospace/defense environments.
  • Experience sourcing one or more mechanical commodity groups such as:
    • Precision machined components
    • Sheet metal fabrications
    • Welded assemblies
    • Structural components
    • Fasteners and hardware
    • Castings and forgings
    • Composites
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, bills of material (BOMs), and manufacturing specifications.
  • Experience obtaining supplier quotations, negotiating pricing and lead times, and managing purchase orders.
  • Basic understanding of manufacturing processes including CNC machining, welding, fabrication, finishing, and assembly.
  • Familiarity with aerospace quality systems such as AS9100 and First Article Inspection (FAI) processes is preferred.
  • Strong organizational and analytical skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning, and Quality.
  • Experience using ERP/MRP systems and Microsoft Excel for purchasing and supplier management.
Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience supporting aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated manufacturing industries.
  • Familiarity with FAR, DFARS, ITAR, and export compliance requirements.
