  • Preliminary BOM & Routing Development:

Leverage your extensive technical knowledge to create preliminary Bill of Materials (BOMs) for new concepts, making educated assumptions about materials, hardware, and components.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Work closely with Sourcing to obtain preliminary pricing for new or non-standard components.
