About the role

  • We work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Operations to bring highly complex electromechanical systems from concept to mass production.
  • As part of the Supply Chain organization, you will play a critical role in ensuring new products transition smoothly from development into manufacturing.
  • Improve planning system accuracy, reporting visibility, and operational execution through continuous process improvement initiatives.

Responsibilities

  • We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back.
  • NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people.
  • We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.
  • You will serve as the connective tissue between Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Program Management to ensure materials, systems, and processes are aligned to support successful builds and production ramps.
  • Drive successful NPI launches by establishing clear-to-build processes, BOM readiness, and supply chain risk mitigation plans.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Operations, Business, or a related field.
  • 2-4 years of experience in material planning, production planning, supply chain operations, or NPI program management.
  • Hands-on experience using ERP/MRP systems such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or equivalent enterprise planning systems.
  • Experience supporting hardware manufacturing, electronics, robotics, automotive, or other complex manufacturing environments.

Skills

  • Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI) programs from prototype through production launch.
  • Familiarity with PLM, MES, and engineering change management processes.
  • Experience working with electronics, PCBAs, battery systems, or electromechanical assemblies.
  • APICS CPIM or CSCP certification.
  • Experience with business intelligence and reporting tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent analytics platforms.

Compensation

  • $90,000 - $110,000 per year

Benefits

  • Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
  • Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
  • Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support
  • Your work directly impacts build readiness, material availability, inventory health, and our ability to scale NEO from prototype to production.
  • Maintain inventory health by balancing material availability, excess inventory risk, and changing program requirements.

Company info

  • Ensure material readiness for all prototype, validation, and production builds through proactive planning and cross-functional coordination.
  • Translate production schedules and engineering demand into actionable procurement and planning requirements.
  • Strong understanding of material planning, inventory management, and production control within complex manufacturing environments.
  • Ability to manage multiple NPI programs simultaneously while balancing competing priorities and timelines.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret supply, demand, inventory, and production data to drive decisions.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder management capabilities.
  • High attention to detail with a structured approach to execution, risk management, and operational problem solving.
  • We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.
