• Manage purchase orders, lead times, and inventory levels to support on-time builds

• Collaborate closely with Engineering to support new product introduction (NPI) and design-for-manufacturability

• Track and report supply chain KPIs (cost, on-time delivery, supplier performance, risk, etc.)

• Implement tools and processes that scale with the company’s growth

• Proactively manage supply chain risks, bottlenecks, shortages, and quality issues

• Drive continuous improvement, cost reduction initiatives, and operational efficiency

• Build, manage, and grow supply chain team to support fast growing manufacturing environment

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of supply chain, sourcing, or operations experience, ideally in hardware, robotics, automotive, or similar industries
