About Us

We see the semiconductor industry as a realm of possibility. We see opportunity. We see the profound impact that our graphene solutions will have in transforming the industry. We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision. The vision is: Prove to everybody that you can make a fundamental change. Prove with your knowledge and skills how things can be done differently. Together, we can change the paradigm of how the world connects.

About Our Technology

The semiconductor industry's growing demand for more powerful chips with higher bandwidth and lower power finds its solution in our technology. We connect chips to high-throughput, low-delay computing networks. The key lies in harnessing the physical properties of graphene to combine electronic computing with photonic communication, allowing countless chips to interact almost as if they were one. Our graphene photonic innovation increases computing power and efficiency to a new order of magnitude. In short, we connect chips to create powerful and energy-efficient networks, overcoming connectivity limitations in the semiconductor industry. We deliver the graphene solution.

The Role

At Black Semiconductor, logistics is more than moving materials from A to B. It is the infrastructure that keeps our operations running as we move towards production, it is becoming increasingly business-critical.

We are looking for a Senior Manager to take ownership of this function and help build it for our next stage of growth. This is a role for someone who enjoys both getting things done and building them up properly: you will participate in day-to-day operations, while at the same time developing the processes, structures and supply chain setup we need for the future.

Today, our logistics setup is very lean, giving you significant ownership from day one. With the setup and scaling of our main headquarters and new facility (FabONE), you will play a key role in scaling Black Semiconductor’s our operational capabilities as the company moves into production. You will work closely with our core business units to develop a reliable supply chain and strengthen compliance.

To Join Our Team, You Should Be Excited To:

• Build and lead the logistics team and warehouse operations, providing both functional and disciplinary leadership.

• To keep products moving, ensure reliable day-to-day logistics operations across domestic and international transportation, shipping and distribution, taking a hands-on approach where needed.

• Develop and optimize end-to-end supply chain processes across warehousing, receiving, inventory, transportation, shipping and production support.

• Drive initiatives to improve efficiency, quality, cost performance and delivery reliability, like our SAP S/4HANA rollout, establishing RASIC and best practices to building the team and capabilities needed for future growth.

• Work closely with internal stakeholders across production, engineering, procurement and other business functions to ensure a reliable flow of materials and information.

• Own dangerous goods handling and regulatory compliance, ensuring adherence to ADR, IATA, IMDG, and all relevant legal requirements

• Ensure that compliance is an integral part of our logistics and supply chain processes right from the start.

Your Qualifications

• 6+ years of hands-on experience in logistics, supply chain or warehouse management, import/export or manufacturing operations

• At least 4 years of disciplinary leadership and people management experience, ideally with responsibility for teams with 5+ employees

• Experience in a startup/scale-up environment or complex corporate organization, ideally in semiconductor, pharmaceutical or another highly regulated industry

• Deep expertise in supply chain management, material flow, inventory management, production support and import/export regulations

• Strong hands-on experience with WMS and ERP systems (SAP/S/4HANA experience is a plus)

• Proven expertise in dangerous goods, German regulatory requirements and compliance, ideally combined with cleanroom logistics experience

• A pragmatic leadership mindset, strategic thinking, and strong problem-solving as well as stakeholder management skills.

• Fluent German language skills (minimum: C1) and good English (minimum: B2)

What Makes This Role Different

Rather than maintaining existing playbooks, this is your chance to build a modern logistics function from the ground up. You will have the opportunity to shape the function from an early stage and define how logistics and supply chains should work at Black Semiconductor.

Your decisions will have a direct impact on our ability to operate, produce and scale. You will have the freedom to bring your expertise, challenge existing ways of working and build the team, processes and standards you believe are needed.

If you enjoy combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution, taking ownership and building something that will grow with the company, this is an opportunity to make a real difference.
