Role Scope- Own sourcing for mechanical categories feeding manufacturing: steel, fabrications, cooling components, and mechanical assemblies.
- Lock supply and lead times against the build plan, with capacity commitments that survive demand spikes.
- Qualify suppliers technically with engineering: first articles, PPAP-style approvals, and audits.
- Negotiate multi-year agreements that hold price and priority as volumes grow 10x.
What We're Looking For- The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
- You've sourced mechanical or fabricated categories for a manufacturer and owned the supplier relationships.
- You read drawings and specs well enough to challenge a quote line by line.
- You've qualified new suppliers under time pressure without skipping the steps that matter.
- You've secured capacity in constrained markets.
- You manage suppliers on data: on-time delivery, PPM, and lead-time performance.
- Bonus: Steel and fabrication markets. Cooling and thermal components. Should-cost modeling. Supplier development.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
