Prepare technically detailed proposals supported by internal engineering and operations teams
Provide input into cost modelling, manufacturability and DFM considerations
Maintain a structured pipeline of technically qualified opportunities
Monitor industry and technology trends across electronics manufacturing
Work cross-functionally with procurement, quality, and production to ensure solution feasibility
Ideal Background
Experience within electronic component distribution, contract electronics manufacturing (CEM), or PCBA environments
Strong understanding of electronic assemblies, BOM structures, and supply chain challenges
Ability to communicate confidently with design engineers and technical stakeholders
Commercial awareness combined with technical credibility
Experience selling or supporting PCB, kitting or electronic component supply solutions
Degree/HNC/HND in Electronic Engineering or related discipline is advantageous but not essential
