• Proven track record managing production schedules, inventory, and supplier performance for a physical product.
• Experience taking a hardware product through NPI and into volume production (EVT/DVT/PVT or equivalent).
• Strong command of purchasing, forecasting, and inventory/BOM management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• able to keep engineering, suppliers, and leadership aligned.
• Willingness to travel to CM and supplier sites as needed.
