About the role

You'll work hand-in-hand with the mechanical team.
They flag what's needed and when; you make sure it arrives on time, at the right price, at the right quality.

De-risk long-lead items. LiDARs, industrial cameras, and compute modules often have multi-week lead times - anticipate them, place orders early, and qualify alternates before a delay becomes a blocker.
Manage vendors. Build and maintain relationships with mechanical suppliers, sensor and compute distributors, and local machine shops. Negotiate price, lead time, and quality.
Track POs and inventory. Own purchase orders end-to-end, track shipments, and keep an accurate picture of what we have, what we need, and when it arrives.
Maintain BOMs & kits. Keep accurate bills of materials per system configuration, work from mechanical drawings and CAD data, and kit together the parts as needed.
Hungry to grow. You're early in your career and want to build real expertise fast, with increasing ownership as we scale.
Gritt https://www.gritt.ai/ is an intelligent system that combines robotics and AI to build the infrastructure that pulls society forward.
Gritt deploys via simple attachments to common equipment found on construction sites and autonomously performs labor-intensive tasks, verification, and planning.
Gritt systems are already building critical infrastructure in the harshest outdoor environments, starting with large-scale solar.

1-5 years of experience in procurement, purchasing, supply chain, or operations, ideally in a hardware, robotics, mechanical, aerospace, automotive, or manufacturing environment.
You can read a mechanical drawing, understand a bill of materials, talk to a machine shop, and source a LiDAR or industrial camera.
Or you are eager to learn.
You can work with mechanical engineers, suppliers, and leadership - and translate between them.

Experience procuring custom machined or fabricated parts (CNC, sheet metal, weldments) alongside off-the-shelf hardware.
Familiarity sourcing sensors and compute - LiDAR, industrial cameras, NVIDIA Jetson / x86 compute modules, GPUs, automotive-grade cabling and connectors - and checking for environmental rating.
Hands-on experience using or helping stand up an ERP/MRP or PLM system at a hardware startup.
Background working alongside mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineers on integrated hardware systems.
Exposure to construction equipment, heavy machinery, off-highway vehicles, or field service in real-world environments.
APICS/ASCM (CPIM, CSCP), ISM CPSM, or Lean / Six Sigma coursework.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS
Every system configuration has an accurate, up-to-date BOM.
