- Collaborate with Manufacturing, Operations and Quality teams across internal and external production partners to ensure seamless execution from NPI through sustaining production

- Experience sourcing silicon or other critical electronic components for consumer devices (e.g. processors, connectivity, power management, sensors) preferred
