Engineering Supply Chain Manager (Electronics)

The role

You will support hardware engineering teams by managing the supply chain for electronic systems. You will identify long lead items, source components, and manage supplier relationships to ensure prototype and production success.

What you will do

• Serve as the supply chain counterpart for electronics engineering teams.
• Identify long lead items and critical components early to prevent project delays.
• Advise engineers on component availability, alternates, obsolescence, cost and lead time.
• Own sourcing and procurement of electronic components, PCB fabrication, PCBA assembly, connectors, harness, sensors, RF parts, and embedded modules.
• Run fast quoting and supplier selection for prototypes and builds.
• Find alternative components or new supply paths during shortages.
• Set stock levels and material availability plans for development and prototype builds.
• Manage relationships with PCB fabricators, electronics manufacturing partners and component distributors.
• Coordinate across engineering, manufacturing, program management, and operations.
• Maintain supply risk visibility including obsolescence, allocation, single-source parts, counterfeit risk and export restrictions.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, Supply Chain, or similar.
• 5+ years of direct experience in electronics sourcing, component procurement or engineering supply chain roles in fast-moving hardware environments.
• Strong technical understanding of semiconductors, passive components, PCB fabrication, PCBA assembly, embedded electronics, and prototyping flows.
• Ability to work effectively in startup-like conditions, tight deadlines, shifting priorities, and rapid cycles.
• Hands-on experience interpreting electronic schematics, BOMs, AVL requirements, PCB stackups, and manufacturing documentation.
• Hands-on experience running purchasing and material management through an ERP system.
• Confident negotiator, commercially and technically.
• Professional English, written and spoken.

Nice to have

• Engineering Electronics Background, knowledge of the tools and technical understanding/background of designs.
• Experience in space, aerospace, defence, hardware startups or other deep-tech R&D environments.
• Exposure to taking a hardware design from prototype into series production.
• Existing relationships with PCB/PCBA vendors, distributors and electronics manufacturing partners.
• Certifications (APICS, PMP, Six Sigma) useful but not required.
• Familiarity with rapid-prototyping suppliers, global component marketplaces, and digital sourcing tools.

Benefits

• Continuous professional development
• Training opportunities

Before you apply

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
