- Partner with Supplier development and Engineering to ensure AS9100 compliance, FAI completion, and audit readiness.
  • Cross-Functional Execution
- Collaborate with Engineering to ensure early supplier involvement (ESI) during product development and NPI phases.
- Work closely with Operations and Program Teams to align material readiness with production schedules and customer milestones.
- Partner with Finance and Legal to structure commercial terms, manage supplier liabilities, and ensure compliance with DFARS, ITAR, and export regulations.
- Support supply risk management and business continuity planning across all electronics categories.
  • Data & Process Ownership
- Lead cost modeling, benchmarking, and should-cost analysis to guide sourcing decisions.
- Utilize ERP/MRP and analytics tools to manage spend visibility, supplier KPIs, and material forecasting accuracy.
- Develop and mentor a high-performing sourcing team focused on execution excellence, supplier innovation, and continuous improvement.
Required qualifications

  • Demonstrated success in supplier negotiations, cost reduction initiatives, and long-term contract management
  • Deep understanding of electronics manufacturing processes, including PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, and harness production OR mechanical commodities
