The successful candidate will partner closely with engineering, procurement, program management, and suppliers to ensure material readiness while balancing cost, risk, and schedule in dynamic environments. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for maintaining our supply chain's integrity, meeting deadlines, and ensuring compliance with DoD regulations and standards.

Responsibilities:

• Own and improve end-to-end tactical supply plans to support NPI builds, production builds, and/or off-nominal builds.
• Translate engineering demand, build schedules, and program milestones into executable material requirements within ERP/MRP systems, ensuring system-driven visibility and control.
• Optimize factory planning parameters (lead times, lot sizes, safety stock, planning fences, reorder strategies) to improve material flow, reduce shortages, and support rapid design iteration.
• Drive BOM maturity and change management execution by assessing material impact of ECOs, managing cut-ins/cut-outs, and minimizing excess and obsolete exposure.
• Identify and mitigate material readiness risks related to design instability, supplier capacity constraints, long-lead components, and quality performance through structured risk registers and recovery plans.
• Ensure accurate master data governance (BOMs, routings, planning attributes, supplier parameters) to enable reliable MRP outputs and production readiness signals.
• Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Procurement to align supply execution with build plans, capacity constraints, and program priorities.
• Establish and monitor material readiness metrics (shortage tracking, kit completeness, on-time-to-build, supplier OTD, inventory health) to drive daily execution and escalation.
• Lead shortage resolution and recovery management, including root cause analysis, systemic corrective actions, and supplier coordination to protect build schedules.
• Develop and implement supply planning processes, workflows, and system utilization to improve repeatability, scalability, and factory throughput.
• Analyze supply chain performance data to identify systemic bottlenecks and implement process improvements that balance speed, cost, inventory exposure, and risk.
• Ensure compliance with DoD program requirements, audit readiness, and traceability standards through disciplined documentation and system controls

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or a related field (preferred).
• 5+ years of experience in supply chain planning or management, ideally in a manufacturing environment and 1+ years of experience with NPI/Change Management operations (experience with defense or advanced technology products is a plus).
• Strong knowledge of supply chain management software (e.g., SAP, Oracle, or similar) and Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, etc.).
• Experience with supply planning, with emphasis on new product introduction
• Proven ability to work in a fast-paced and agile environment and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and resolve supply chain issues effectively.
• Knowledge of DoD regulations, standards, and compliance requirements for defense-related manufacturing (preferred).
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams and external suppliers.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to meet deadlines.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a dynamic startup environment.
