About the role

This is a foundational, hands-on role responsible for architecting nEye's end-to-end supply chain.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a zero-to-one environment and wants to spearhead the supply chain function for a category-creating hardware company.

Build Supply Chain Function
Design, implement, and scale supply chain processes, workflows, policies, and documentation.
Develop a strategic roadmap for supply chain operations aligned with nEye's growth and manufacturing ramp.
Partner with the Operations Systems lead to define requirements for ERP, MES, and PLM systems. Act as the primary business owner for supply chain data accuracy and process adoption.
Own purchasing, PO management, and cost optimization for prototype and production materials.
Drive BOM accuracy, AVL management, ECO coordination, and change control across hardware, photonics, and MEMS components.
Partner with engineering teams on build schedules, material availability, and long-lead planning.
The company's OCS is an ultra-low power consumption, high radix, compact chip-scale design, offering hyperscale data centers enhanced performance, efficiency, and scalability.
You will own vendor engagement, materials planning, forecasting, inventory, logistics, and act as the business owner for the rollout of critical operational systems (ERP, MES, PLM/ECC).
You will work closely with the Operations and Engineering teams to design a supply chain that is resilient, scalable, and deeply integrated with engineering and manufacturing workflows.

8+ years of supply chain, operations, or manufacturing experience in high-tech hardware
