Sourcing Engineer, NPI

• S. in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, Materials, or related Engineering discipline.
• 2+ years of experience in sourcing, supplier development, procurement, or manufacturing engineering supporting physical products (candidates with more experience are also encouraged to apply and would be considered for a more senior level).
• Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI), bringing components or products from design through supplier qualification and into production.
• Ability to read engineering drawings and specifications and understand the manufacturing processes behind precision components.
• Strong commercial skills: comfortable running RFQs, analyzing cost and lead time, and negotiating with and developing suppliers.
• AI-native: you default to AI and modern tooling in your everyday work and look for ways to apply it to sourcing and engineering problems.
• Familiarity with supplier qualification and quality requirements (e.g., first article inspection, validation, ISO 13485) is a plus.
• Experience with ERP/MRP and data systems; familiarity with Odoo, Snowflake, or similar platforms is a plus.
• Curiosity, ownership mindset, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment (hint: mystery question answer is 23).

• Within the first 3-6 months, you are independently leading sourcing for active development programs, qualifying suppliers, and de-risking supply for components on the critical path.
• Within the first year, suppliers and materials you sourced and qualified are in production and supporting products used in the operating room.
• You are known for sound engineering judgment, strong supplier relationships, and a bias toward action that keeps new products on schedule and on cost.
