Antares Senior Manufacturing Engineer - Supply Chain at Antares responsible for defining and executing strategic roadmap for supply chain maturity. Focus on electronics, electromechanical components, and manufacturing scalability.
Responsibilities
As an early member of the Antares supply chain team, you will define and execute the strategic roadmap required for the company to successfully iterate through prototyping and into full-rate production. This will include identifying, qualifying, and developing suppliers across several commodities, proactively maturing fragile or nonexistent supply chains, interfacing with engineering teams to ensure design for manufacturability, and creating the processes and systems necessary to scale our business. As a growing company, you will also have the opportunity to wear many hats and influence areas outside of supply chain.
The ideal candidate will be able to execute in an ambiguous environment, with the ability to efficiently balance many different priorities - you will be part of a small team tackling significant and complex challenges and will have a key role in contributing to the success of the company both in the short and long-term.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Define the initial strategic roadmap for select commodities, such as electronics, electromechanical components, controls, PCBAs, harnessing, and others
Identify and onboard suppliers across many commodities to develop a mature supply base capable of supporting both prototyping and eventually full-rate production
Engage with responsible and manufacturing engineering teams to review drawings and provide feedback in collaboration with suppliers on design for manufacturing
Coordinate closely with quality teams to ensure compliance with the Antares quality program regarding supplier onboarding, quality and documentation requirements, addressing nonconformances, and developing supply chain related procedures
Direct the business on informed make-versus-buy decision, considering factors such as design feedback loop, product function, capital and resource investment, and manufacturing methods
Create bottoms-up analyses for should-costing to support commercial negotiations and supplier evaluation
Develop performance metrics and reporting to identify, communicate, and manage critical path items
Execute on near-term actions related to prototyping and development hardware to guarantee schedules for engineering and testing milestones
