About The Position

Imagine your day at Unigen: It’s 9:00 a.m. in Newark, CA, and a new RFQ from a global OEM lands in your queue. You open the customer package, scan Gerber files and product drawings, verify the BOM, and register a fresh RFQ number. You clarify specs, flag missing data, and map requirements to our quoting playbook. By noon, you’ve modeled process and labor costs using our labor template, calculated NRE via the macro file, applied the right markups, and rolled the material cost with attrition, scrap, and MMU% into a precise price. In the afternoon, you assemble a crisp briefing for leadership approval, sync with PM/Sales to prepare for customer review, and finalize your weekly win/loss/pending analysis for management.
