Job description

Greater Los Angeles, CA | Fully on site | Full-time | $130,000 to $180,000 base

We're partnering with an aerospace manufacturer building flight vehicles at rate. Designs move fast, volumes keep climbing, and the electronics supply base has to keep pace.

They need a Global Supply Manager to own printed circuit boards and assemblies for the vehicle electronics programme. You'll take boards from new product development through to stable, high-volume production, and you'll be the person who makes sure fabricators and assembly partners can deliver.

Why it's worth a look

Real ownership. You run the commodity: strategy, supplier selection, negotiation and contract awards.

Flight hardware at rate. Every board you source goes into vehicles built for a production ramp, not a one-off prototype.

Technical and commercial in equal measure. You'll work with electrical engineering on manufacturability alongside the negotiation and cost modelling.

Visibility. You'll present supply base health, risks and contract awards directly to leadership.
