Onboard new suppliers brought in through Director-led strategic sourcing, including qualification logistics, NDA execution, and commercial setup.
Partner with engineering during NPI to source components against evolving specs, manage long lead and allocation-risk items, and ensure material readiness for prototype and pilot builds.
