  • Manage procurement activities from requisition through delivery, invoice resolution, and payment
  • Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Program Management, and Quality teams to meet schedule and production goals
  • Track supplier performance for cost, quality, delivery, and technical compliance
  • Help resolve supplier issues and drive continuous improvement
  • Maintain purchasing data, reporting, and procurement metrics
  • Ensure compliance with internal policies and applicable quality requirements
 Required Qualifications
  • Experience sourcing tooling, manufacturing equipment, fixtures, capital equipment, or related industrial services
  • Experience managing the full procurement lifecycle
  • Strong background in RFQs, supplier negotiations, and purchase orders
  • Ability to read and work from engineering drawings, technical specifications, and manufacturing requirements
  • Experience with build-to-print, specification-driven, and large-scale tooling purchases
  • Strong supplier management, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment
  • Working knowledge of AS9100 or similar quality standards
Preferred Qualifications
  • Tooling procurement experience in manufacturing, machining, fabrication, or production environments
  • Experience working directly with engineering and manufacturing teams
