Lead supply chain readiness for production ramp, partnering with engineering and operations to transition from prototype builds to repeatable manufacturing at volume.
Build supplier relationships and negotiate terms that secure capacity, quality, and cost as we grow.
Develop the risk management practices that protect against single points of failure, long lead times, and supply disruptions.
Hire, mentor, and lead a supply chain team as the company scales.
You'll be solving some of the hardest engineering problems of our time - building autonomous systems that operate in the most demanding environments on the planet.
Your work will directly shape the future of undersea warfare for the U.S. Navy and our allied partners.

Working knowledge of defense supply chain compliance, including ITAR, DFARS, and country-of-origin/supply chain provenance requirements.
Experience with materials planning, inventory management, and the systems that support them (ERP/MRP).
U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a security clearance.
Own supply chain compliance, including ITAR, DFARS, country-of-origin requirements, and supplier flow-downs, ensuring our sourcing meets the standards required for defense work.

Familiarity with the supplier base for precision-machined components, electronics, batteries, or electromechanical assemblies.
Background supporting government contracts and the associated procurement and compliance requirements.
