About the role

  • You will make core decisions across commodity strategy, supplier selection, cost, ERP, and how AI runs the function.

Responsibilities

  • Run sourcing and supplier management across mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical commodities: negotiate, award, and manage cost, continuity of supply, and risk
  • Deploy AI across the function to optimize sourcing, forecasting, spend analysis, supplier risk monitoring, and the team's day-to-day workflows
  • Partner with engineering through NPI so supply, cost, and manufacturability are designed in, not bolted on
  • Hire, train, and lead the team of buyers and Supplier Industrialization Engineers (SIEs) as the operation scales
  • Own the core metrics (landed cost, supplier quality, on-time delivery, lead time, supply risk) and the contingency plans that keep a secure supply base resilient
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with production, quality, engineering, and logistics to align supply with build schedules and demand
  • This is a once-in-a-career opportunity to build the procurement and supply chain function of a modern factory from a blank sheet.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in supply chain, sourcing, procurement, or supplier engineering, including time leading people
  • Experience selecting and rolling out an ERP system, not just operating an existing one
  • Familiarity with lean / 5S, Kanban, Six Sigma, or APICS
  • experience scaling from low-rate to high-volume production

Compensation

  • build adaptive robotic assembly systems that make American manufacturing scalable, resilient, and competitive again.
  • The base salary range for this full-time position in the location of
