About the role

Senior leadership role responsible for building and managing the supplier base and end-to-end supply chain for production-grade robotics, including sourcing, cost modeling, supplier qualification, BOM ownership, and logistics to ensure timely, cost-efficient production.

Responsibilities

  • Build the supplier base: source, qualify and manage suppliers for machined and cast structures, gears and actuators, motors, PCBAs, harnesses, shells, batteries and sensors; two sources for every critical sub-system.
  • Develop domestic suppliers where the product and our customers require them, and manage the content requirements that come with selling into regulated markets.
  • Own the commercial side: RFQs, should-cost and total-cost models, piece price and tooling negotiation, long-term agreements, payment and warranty terms; work with Legal on supplier agreements and with Finance on the cost roadmap.
  • Sit in design reviews from the start: flag long-lead, single-source and high-risk parts before design freeze; bring supplier capability into the design.
  • Own clear-to-build and the plan: every unit on the schedule has a complete kit before it starts; a rolling plan the line, the partner and the suppliers all see; capacity planning with suppliers ahead of demand; inventory accuracy and safety stock by part class.
  • Own the BOM in production: cost roll-ups by phase, engineering change control with the design team and Manufacturing Engineering, cost-down from pilot to volume.
  • Build the supplier quality loop with Manufacturing Engineering and Quality: first article and PPAP where it applies, incoming inspection, supplier scorecards and quarterly reviews, corrective action and recovery.
  • Run logistics: inbound, between our facility and our partner's, import and export paperwork with Legal, spares and service parts.
  • Stand up the systems as we grow: part numbering, BOM control, MRP, supplier portal; the weekly numbers (clear-to-build, on-time delivery, PPV, inventory) and the readout to leadership.

Qualifications

  • 8 or more years in supply chain, sourcing or supplier development for complex hardware, with time in a mature organization so you know what the systems look like at scale, and experience leading people; engineering degree preferred.
