Senior Material Planning Program Manager, Supply Chain

Every SST we ship depends on hundreds of components arriving on time, in the right quantities - across a supply base that's ramping as fast as our product roadmap. This role sits inside our Supply Chain organization and owns the planning discipline that keeps that possible: translating engineering schedules and customer demand signals into a material plan the whole company can build against.

Material Planning & Execution

Own end-to-end material planning across our BOMs - demand/supply reconciliation, buffer and safety-stock strategy, and purchase prioritization that keeps pace with engineering change

Translate program schedules into concrete, current material plans; know at any given moment what's on track, what's at risk, and what needs to move

Continuously monitor supplier lead times, MOQs, allocation, and other risk

Supply Readiness & Risk

Partner with GSMs and SIEs to close gaps before they threaten a build

Track program-level clear-to-build status and drive the cross-functional work to unblock it before it becomes a hard stop

Own the material and inventory impact of supply impacting ECOs from assessment through implementation - quantifying exposure, and keeping the program informed of what's changing and why it matters

Systems & Scale

Work with software team to build the planning tools, dashboards, and processes - spanning PLM, ERP, and MRP - that give Supply Chain, Engineering, and Manufacturing one shared, trustworthy view of material readiness

Design for the business we're scaling, not just the build in front of us.

5-8+ years in material planning, program management, or supply chain roles supporting complex hardware, with hands-on ownership of large, multi-hundred-line BOMs from development through ramp

Strong working knowledge of demand/supply planning, supplier readiness, and the cost/material impact of quality and engineering changes

Experience standing up planning or supply-readiness processes from scratch - not just operating inside systems someone else built

A track record of spotting problems weeks before they land, and driving resolution across engineering, sourcing, and manufacturing teams

Comfort with ambiguity and a genuine interest in shaping how a fast-growing hardware company plans and scales

BS in Supply Chain, Data Analytics, or a related field

Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.

Onsite Collaboration Rationale: Given the highly collaborative and cross-functional nature of hardware, embedded systems, and product development, in-person partnership across engineering and product teams is critical to enabling rapid execution, technical alignment, and successful development outcomes.

Work on next-generation power infrastructure systems • High ownership and visibility • Cross-functional collaboration • Opportunity to shape future products and infrastructure • Fast-moving startup environment
