Supply Chain and Materials Manager

We are seeking a Supply Chain and Materials Manager to lead purchasing, supplier management, inventory, and logistics for neutral-atom quantum-computer builds. This role ensures that specialized optical, laser, vacuum, and electronic components are available and accepted when Manufacturing needs them.

• Build and lead the purchasing, sourcing, materials, and logistics team, with clear ownership of supplier commitments and material readiness for concurrent builds.
• Develop sourcing plans for precision optics, laser components, vacuum hardware, custom electronics, and cable assemblies; manage long-lead, single-source, and supplier-capacity risks.
• Translate released bills of materials (BOMs) and build schedules into purchasing requirements, material allocations, and complete subsystem kits, including approved spares.
• Manage quotations, purchase orders, delivery commitments, and supplier recovery plans within Finance approval controls; obtain Engineering approval for proposed substitutions.
• Establish inventory, receiving, and traceability controls so production uses the correct parts and revisions, with nonconforming material held from use.
• Coordinate incoming inspection, supplier corrective actions, returns, and protected handling of fragile optics, clean assemblies, and controlled bonding materials.
• Collaborate with Finance and Planning & Configuration Control to design NetSuite purchasing and inventory workflows; maintain accurate transactions and material status.
• Track supplier delivery, kit completeness, shortages, and inventory accuracy; resolve material constraints before they interrupt subsystem production or system integration.
