- Partner with suppliers and internal teams to drive cost savings and improve delivery timelines
- Provide regular reporting to leadership, including program updates, cost analysis, and risk mitigation plans

- Conduct deep-dive analyses, including supplier pricing impacts, lead time aggregation, and supply chain trade-off decisions
Why This Role Stands Out
- High-impact role supporting cutting-edge robotics and automation initiatives
- Strong cross-functional visibility with engineering, supply chain, and executive leadership
- Opportunity to influence cost, scalability, and performance of next-generation hardware systems
- Competitive compensation with full benefits
What We’re Looking For
- 5 years of experience in supply chain, operations, or product/program management within a hardware or manufacturing environment
- Strong understanding of supply planning, demand planning, procurement, and supplier management
- Experience with cost structures, negotiations, and supply chain optimization
- Strong analytical skills with Excel and data-driven decision-making
- Proven ability to operate independently and manage multiple priorities
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Preferred Skills
- Experience in robotics, manufacturing, or electromechanical hardware environments
- Familiarity with components such as motors, plastics, metals, and mechanical assemblies
