Infrastructure for the Autonomous Era · First in. First up.

On-site · Austin, TX

--------------------------------------------------- Schedules don't slip in our shop. They slip in someone else's queue - a quote that sat four days, a part that shipped Friday instead of Monday, a vendor who needed one more reminder. You are the person who finds those weeks and takes them back. This is an entry level role: we'll teach you the systems, you bring the relentlessness.

First Order Effects (FOE) is building America's Infrastructure Prime for the robotic era. Autonomous ships, drones, and robots are rewriting how the world moves, fights, and builds - but none of them work without infrastructure to power them, connect them, and launch and recover them. That's what we build.

Our team comes from SpaceX, Anduril, Saronic, Lockheed Skunk Works, Forterra, and Fuse Energy. Before founding FOE, we built satellite ground stations that closed a national comms gap in days, deployed multi-megawatt power systems at commercial speed, and shipped autonomous surface vessels into Navy fleet production. We've built infrastructure at lightspeed before - now we're applying that playbook to an entire company.

Buy well. Run quotes against each other, find the real price, and negotiate standing preferred-pricing agreements so we stop renegotiating the same part every quarter.

Own the paperwork end to end: purchase orders, invoice scheduling, pre-delivery coordination, and the resale and exemption certificate back-and-forth nobody else wants.
