Summary

This position will lead our Sourcing Engineer organization, which has focus on DfSC (Design for Supply Chain). It is a Supply Chain function with emphasis on early Design and Sourcing Optimization. This organization works collaboratively with our Engineering organization to ensure we bring an understanding on how we position our sub tier supply base both at the early design phase and ramp production. 

The leader of this organization will have direct reports that will support design related projects and will be located in our Design Centers across the globe. Main areas of responsibility include ensuring the wider team is aligned to the proper projects, critical schedules are hit, ensure the finalized CBOM (Costed Bill of Material) has an optimized sourcing plan with mitigating risk, supports competitive component pricing and hits the required time to market goals. This will be a fast-growing organization and will have heavy focus on team development in the early stages.  Supplier Development will also be an area of focus. It is crucial for the person in this role to understand how the revenue growth strategy affects our commodity spend profile, how much the commodity profile changes and what strategies are needed to deploy for a future supply base. Coordination of these two processes ensures we establish a stable foundation for commodities which in turn supports our revenue growth plans.
