About the role
- What we learned was simple: infrastructure is everything.
- We lacked buildings, roads, water, power, communications, and waste management, and constructing them took far more time and resources than it should have.
- From a first-principles perspective, that doesn't make sense.
Responsibilities
- Own purchasing from initial request through payment and delivery
- Support kit production by tracking pricing, availability, lead times, and order status
- Maintain an accurate, actionable view of available machines and heavy equipment
- Manage vendors, quotes, purchase orders, invoices, budgets, and domestic and international logistics
- At Starbase, the biggest barrier to launching missions to Mars was not building the rocket.
- It was how slow, expensive, and complex it was to build the infrastructure around it.
- It shouldn't be this hard or costly to create the foundations for progress.
Requirements
- 3 or more years of experience in technical purchasing, supply chain, procurement, engineering operations, manufacturing, construction, or a related field
- Ability to understand technical specifications, bills of materials, and equipment requirements
- Experience sourcing components, machinery, materials, or technical services
- Engineering degree or experience working closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, or robotics teams
- Experience sourcing PCBs, electronic components, mechanical hardware, or production parts
- Experience supporting hardware production or identifying alternatives during component shortages
- Experience purchasing heavy equipment or construction materials
- Experience with ERP systems, international shipping, or government programs
- Must be willing to relocate to Austin, TX if not within commuting distance
- Must be willing to work extended hours or weekends when needed to support critical engineering, production, or operational deadlines
