What You’ll Do
Coordinate material readiness, procurement, and lifecycle management for mechanical and electrical hardware across new product development, prototype builds, product changes, and sustaining engineering activities.
Partner with mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, program management, and release management to define configurations, build quantities, milestones, schedules, part numbers, and assembly structures.
Create, maintain, and release part numbers, bills of material (BOMs), engineering change documentation, specifications, drawings, and product records in Agile PLM and Windchill PLM.
Manage request for quotation (RFQ) activities, evaluate supplier and contract manufacturer quotes, support vendor selection, and track cost, delivery, quality, and technical issue resolution.
Create, track, reconcile, and close purchase orders, material requests, and purchasing-card transactions while verifying commodity and general ledger coding.
Identify long-lead components and material-availability risks, expedite orders, maintain material coverage for planned builds, sustaining needs, and rework, and escalate schedule or availability threats.
Maintain mechanical, printed circuit board (PCB), and printed circuit assembly (PCA) prototype and sustaining build schedules; confirm materials, approved stack-ups, programmable content, and special build instructions are ready before build start.
Coordinate BOM, drawing, and configuration changes with suppliers and contract manufacturers, including timely and secure transfer of controlled release data.
Serve as the primary coordination point across engineering teams, program managers, suppliers, and contract manufacturers; communicate status, dependencies, risks, decisions, and action items.
Support invoice readiness, return material authorization (RMA) activity, customs classifications, laboratory equipment acquisition, and quarter-end purchasing deliverables.
Develop and improve repeatable processes for documentation control, procurement, configuration management, supplier coordination, prototype builds, and sustaining execution.
