Manage sourcing strategies for electronics categories involved in launch vehicle electronic systems to reduce risk and achieve cost savings.
Обязанности
- Create sourcing strategies for assigned electronics categories (PCB, PCBA/contract manufacturing, electronic components, and instrumentation) to reduce risk and meet targets including payment terms, cash, and cost savings
- Develop and manage a domestic and international supply base for those categories; communicate, manage, and drive compliance to category strategies
- Work directly with key suppliers to implement sourcing and cost-management strategies for existing platforms and new product development
- Identify and execute cost-reduction projects (piece price, yield, tooling, dual-source, obsolescence) including planning, stakeholder coordination, estimated completion, and updates
- Perform quantitative and business-process analysis of spend, capacity, technical capability, and financial impact of sourcing decisions
- Evaluate demand, place and manage purchase orders, and track supplier delivery performance
- Act as the supplier interface for all RFIs, RFPs, and RFQs; run RFX with stakeholders and implement the sourcing decision
- Collaborate with stakeholders to define SLAs and KPIs for suppliers (cost, quality, on-time delivery, lead time, responsiveness) and run programs to develop and monitor the supply base
- Provide guidance to engineering on recommended suppliers, design for manufacturability, and trade analysis for avionics hardware; strong ability to read drawings, fab notes, stack-ups, and BOMs and to understand manufacturing complexity
- Ensure suppliers are prepared to support prototype, ramp, and rate with the right process, equipment, and material
- Visit supplier facilities and assess operational capability, financial health, capacity, and risk before awarding NPI and long-term production
- Mitigate sole/single-source risk; negotiate contracts for continuity of supply and to protect interests
- Partner with internal resources to drive low-cost part adoption and obsolescence avoidance; monitor industry and technology roadmaps with design
- Present value propositions to management and executives: contract award, cost reviews, cost-reduction strategies, and critical supply issues
- Work with material planners and supply chain engineers so demand, inventory, and supplier commitment stay aligned to the build plan — planners own MRP; this seat owns the supplier, the contract, and the cost
