  • Hand off cleanly to planning, buyers and CMs for production, with qualified suppliers, agreed terms and accurate ERP data.
  • Keep project tracking and dashboards current for leadership and Commodity Managers.
  • Support supplier performance reporting and QBRs, and flex onto cross-commodity projects when workload allows.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Business or a related field.
  • 6+ years in supply chain program management, NPI purchasing or sourcing in hardware manufacturing.
  • Hands-on experience with PCBAs/SMT, cable and harness manufacturing, and e-box/box-build.
  • Track record running RFQs and negotiating with EMS, harness and box-build suppliers.
  • Working knowledge of NPI lifecycles and EC processes (CCBs, BOM/EPN management).

  • Strong communicator, comfortable with ERP/MRP, project tracking tools and dashboards.
