Job Overview:

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our Supply Chain team and support the technical aspects of procurement, quality assurance, and vendor coordination. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in mechanical engineering and will bridge the gap between product design, supplier capability, and quality compliance.

This role is crucial in ensuring that sourced mechanical components (such as heat sinks, housings, metal fixtures, and structural parts) meet technical specifications and support efficient supply chain operations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work closely with the Supply Chain Manager to evaluate mechanical components and assemblies for procurement.
• Interpret technical drawings and specifications during vendor selection and order finalization.
• Conduct quality checks and assist with first article inspections (FAI) from suppliers.
• Support vendor development by analyzing capabilities and production feasibility.
• Liaise between Design/R&D teams and suppliers to clarify technical requirements.
• Assist in cost estimation, BOM (Bill of Material) review, and lifecycle management of components.
• Visit vendor locations (domestic/international) for audits and process verification, if required.
• Maintain documentation and engineering change notices relevant to supply components.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar.
• 2 to 4 years of experience in a manufacturing or sourcing environment (preferably in electronics/LED/consumer products).
• Understanding of manufacturing processes like CNC, die casting, extrusion, sheet metal, and plastics.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings (GD&T knowledge preferred).
• Basic knowledge of supply chain operations and procurement processes.
• Strong analytical and communication skills.
• Proficient in CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.) is a plus.

Why Join Us?

• Opportunity to work in a fast-growing LED and electronics company.
• Cross-functional exposure to procurement, engineering, and manufacturing.
• A collaborative environment focused on innovation and quality.
