• Develop and maintain demand planning tools and models in Excel and other business platforms to anticipate supply needs across the NPI pipeline.
• Build and refine supply chain processes, workflows, and templates that improve visibility and predictability of material and capacity requirements.
• Review and interpret mechanical drawings and technical documentation to assess design-to-supply chain implications and flag sourcing or lead time risks.
• Leverage AI tools — including Claude and Microsoft Copilot — to automate reporting, accelerate data analysis, and enhance business process documentation.
• Cook up coordination with cross-functional teams including engineering, operations, and program management to align supply forecasts with program milestones and launch timelines.

• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, schematics, and technical specifications.
• Strong analytical skills with proficiency in Microsoft Excel for data modeling, demand forecasting, or process analysis (e.g., pivot tables, scenario modeling, structured data tools).
