Skills
Must have
- Minimum Experience (Years)
- 6 years of mechanical sourcing, commodity management or supplier development, in aerospace, defence, automotive or precision engineering.
- HyPrix prefers this experience, but it is not mandatory. Demonstrated capability is more important than years.
- Mechanical processes. Good knowledge of machining, sheet metal, casting, forging and composite processes.
- Materials. Good knowledge of aerospace materials such as aluminium alloys, titanium, steels, nickel alloys and CFRP.
- Drawings. Ability to read engineering drawings and GD&T, and to check a part against its drawing.
- Cost and negotiation. Experience with should-cost models and supplier negotiation.
- Supplier qualification. Experience to audit and qualify suppliers, and to close non-conformances with them.
- Systems. Experience with ERP or MRP systems.
- A bachelor's degree in mechanical, production, aerospace or metallurgical engineering.

What You'll Do
The Senior Supply Chain Engineer – Mechanical owns the supply of all mechanical commodities that HyPrix buys. The position holder is the domain expert for these commodities, from the first drawing to series production.
The commodities include machined parts, sheet metal, castings, forgings, composites, plastic and elastomer parts, raw materials and fasteners. They also include packaging and transport containers, electromechanical actuators and bought-out propulsion hardware. Other commodities are composite structures, 3D-printed parts and high-temperature alloy parts, which need qualified suppliers and strict process control.
- Commodity strategy. Write and update a sourcing strategy for each mechanical commodity. Include the supplier base, cost targets, lead times, risks and the indigenous content plan.
- Supplier base. Find, audit and qualify suppliers for each process. These processes include CNC machining, sheet metal, casting, forging, composites and additive manufacturing. They also include welding, brazing, injection moulding, heat treatment and surface finish. Set a second source for each single-source part.
- Early design input. Review drawings and 3D models with the design team before release. Give advice on material, tolerance, process and cost, so that each part is easy to make and to buy.
- Composites. Source composite structures and raw materials: carbon and glass fibres, prepregs, resins and core materials. Qualify suppliers for layup, autoclave and out-of-autoclave cure, RTM and filament winding. Control the shelf life and cold storage of prepregs and resins.
- Additive manufacturing. Source metal and polymer 3D-printed parts, for example laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) in titanium, aluminium and nickel alloys. Qualify each supplier on machine, powder control, build parameters and post-process: HIP, heat treatment, machining and inspection.
- High-temperature materials. Source nickel-based superalloys, titanium, refractory metals and ceramics for parts in high-temperature zones.
- Controlled materials. Identify materials and parts that need end-user certificates or foreign export licences, for example some carbon fibres, prepregs and alloys. Prepare the technical data for these requests. The Senior Manager owns the licence application.
