Description

  • Lead rapid-turnaround sourcing for R&D electrical builds, including prototype PCBAs, connectors, cables, sensors, power distribution components, and electromechanical box assemblies.
  • Identify, evaluate, and onboard contract manufacturers for electrical assemblies with US and Mexico manufacturing presence that are USMCA-compliant.
  • Own the sourcing strategy for the AC-to-DC product transition, including BOM-level lead time analysis, risk buy decisions, and production readiness accountability.
  • Source and evaluate power conversion equipment, including inverters, transformers, and skidded systems, to reduce single-source risk.
  • Develop and execute a multi-path battery and BMS sourcing strategy that meets FEOC and IRA requirements.
  • Qualify non-FEOC BMS design partners and battery cell and pack suppliers from NDA through specification distribution, quote evaluation, and contract negotiation.
  • Collaborate with Engineering on DFM reviews, connector and material strategy, corrosion protection solutions, and cable redesign opportunities.
  • Drive supplier selection committee processes and present sourcing recommendations to leadership with clear cost, risk, and schedule trade-offs.
  • Negotiate pricing and contracts for both quick-turn R&D purchases and long-term volume agreements.
  • Monitor FEOC, IRA/ITC, USMCA, and tariff developments and adjust sourcing strategies proactively.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Supply Chain, or an equivalent technical discipline.
  • 18+ years of combined experience across electrical engineering, operations, and supply chain roles.
  • Hands-on experience with sourcing, BOM optimization, and supplier management for electrical and electronics commodities.
  • Experience supporting R&D and new product introduction is required.
  • Deep technical knowledge of power electronics, industrial electrical components, PCBAs, connectors, cable assemblies, and battery or energy storage systems.
  • Hands-on circuit design, power supply design, or PCBA layout experience is a strong plus.
  • Experience evaluating and onboarding contract manufacturers for electromechanical assemblies.
  • Experience managing global manufacturing partners, negotiating contracts, and optimizing bills of materials for cost, quality, lead time, and regulatory compliance.
  • Comfort operating in fast-paced R&D environments with shifting requirements and close engineering collaboration.
  • Familiarity with compliance-driven sourcing frameworks such as FEOC, IRA/ITC, USMCA, or UL/IEC certification.
  • Strong negotiation, supplier qualification, and analytical skills.
  • Willingness to travel up to 40% domestically across the US and Mexico, with occasional international travel.
  • Experience in energy storage, battery, or distributed power generation is preferred.
  • Working knowledge of IRA battery sourcing requirements and FEOC country-of-origin tracing is preferred.
  • Familiarity with UL 9540, UL 1973, UL 508a, IEC 62619, or related safety certification frameworks is preferred.
  • Prior experience in a hardware startup or high-growth manufacturing environment is preferred.
  • Experience with US and Mexico manufacturing footprints is preferred.

Benefits

  • $165,000 to $200,000 annual base salary.
  • Remote work arrangement.
