What You Will Own

• The Vendor Network: Lead on identifying, vetting, and recommending manufacturers for custom parts (CNC, Sheet Metal, Injection Molding) and complex sub-assemblies. You own the transition of production between vendors to optimize for cost, quality, and scale.
• Procurement Cycle & Odoo Data: Own the end-to-end procurement process. This includes issuing POs and actively tracking supply timelines to meet the manufacturing forecasts set by the Production Director.
• Inventory Integrity: You are the guardian of our "physical truth." You own the monthly inventory audit process and personally perform physical counts and reconciliations within Odoo to ensure 100% data integrity.
• Technical Vendor Relations: Serve as the primary contact for our supply base. You own the resolution of Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), holding vendors accountable to specs and ensuring swift corrective actions.

What You Will Support

• Engineering & R&D: Provide "Design for Manufacturing" (DFM) feedback and identify vendors capable of bringing new technical designs to life.
• Internal Production: Monitor part levels within our production process, ensuring the assembly team has the visibility and components needed to meet build schedules.
• Operations: With support from the Production Director, you will contribute to writing SOPs when it pertains to your process to solidify those procedures for future employees.
• Logistics & Brokerage: Partner with our Logistics Coordinator to provide strategic direction on shipping lanes, landed cost reduction, and international brokerage strategies to ensure all parts arrive on time.
• Quality Assurance: Collaborate with the Quality Lead to ensure vendor performance aligns with internal standards.

Requirements

• Education: BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience: 6+ years in technical sourcing or supply chain, specifically within a hardware or physical product environment.
• Technical Skills: Expert ability to read/interpret 2D & 3D technical drawings (GD&T). Experience with PCBA and outsourcing assemblies is a significant plus.

• Asset: Fluency in Mandarin and/or Cantonese.
  

Who You Are

• The Technical Filter: You can evaluate a supplier’s shop floor and technical capabilities to ensure they can actually build what we design.
• The Autonomous Owner: You identify "leaks" in the supply chain or inventory discrepancies and drive the solution.
• The Collaborative Specialist: You speak the languages of "Engineering," "Quality," and "Production," contributing your expertise to a team that is greater than the sum of its parts.
