Your Responsibilities
The Supply Chain Director will lead and direct all facets of supply chain management as we transition our proprietary industrial automation equipment from initial low-volume prototypes to high-volume production models. You will work closely with a cross-functional engineering team ranging from Hardware Design, Software, Systems, Process and Operations teams and participate in the evolutionary design stages going from prototype to product. The role will draw on a wide breadth of technical skills, and will require you to develop organized and effective processes and solutions to a wide range of problems, from fine detail to big picture, which arise in the procurement and scaling of custom capital equipment.
In this role you will:
- Architect a supply chain strategy, in the short, medium and long term, to support the company’s organizational goals related to production volume output, system cost, manufacturing timeline and product quality
- Lead and direct the effort of selecting and vetting new vendors, defining scope of work and negotiating contracts for projects while keeping existing supply chain running smoothly
- Manage purchasing, logistics, forecasting, scheduling, supplier quality and other tasks necessary for project success
- Hire, manage and mentor a team of 2-5 people that oversees all aspects of supplier relationships and performance through all contract phases, via a data-driven approach
- Develop internal company procedures to support transition of new equipment to production and existing supply chain e.g. creating and refining BOMs, developing engineering work flows and procedures for interacting and tracking vendors and evaluating their performance
- Receive feedback from and collaborate with other teams to solve problems caused by the supply chain. Collaborate with other leaders on company roadmap and schedules.
What We’re Looking For
- BS degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Systems Engineering or equivalent
- 8+ years working experience in different supply chain or manufacturing roles
- 3+ years of leadership experience
- Experience with scaling product to high volume manufacturing (capital equipment focus preferred)
- Experience working with Contract Manufacturers and Global Supply Chains
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
What we’d love to see
- Desire to work in a fast-paced startup environment
- Care for local and global communities, and desire to make an impact through technology
- Not afraid of robots
What You Get
- A chance to be an early member of a rapidly growing startup and have an impact on company and technology direction
- Ability to solve challenging problems with a skilled and dedicated multi-disciplinary team
- A balanced, highly collaborative work environment where we encourage everyone to ask for and provide help. We value and support individual growth through open communication and feedback
- Hybrid work structure that allows you to choose when and where you get your best work done
- Competitive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 401K, life and disability coverage as well
- A PTO policy where we encourage and expect all employees to take time to enjoy life outside of work
- The salary range for this position is $165,000- $225,000 plus stock and benefits. Pay within the range is based on candidate experience, job-specific skills, education, and work location.
