About the Job:

You’ll sit at the intersection of engineering and supply chain, owning supplier selection and procurement strategy for highly technical components. This isn’t a transactional buying role — you’ll be making critical decisions that directly impact performance, cost, and manufacturability.

What You'll Do:

• Source and manage suppliers across machining, injection moulding, 3D printing, and composites

• Interpret engineering drawings and collaborate closely with design teams

• Drive DFM (Design for Manufacture) conversations with suppliers

• Evaluate supplier capability, quality, and scalability

• Negotiate pricing, lead times, and long-term agreements

• Build a resilient, high-performance supply chain for low-volume → scale production

• Troubleshoot production challenges and proactively mitigate risk
