- 8–10+ years of experience in sourcing, procurement, or supply chain
- Demonstrated experience sourcing materials or components outside of traditional aerospace suppliers
- Background in high‑performance industries such as automotive, EV, robotics, advanced manufacturing, electronics, or industrial equipment
- Strong commercial negotiation skills with a proven track record of measurable cost reductions
