Job summary

Crusoe is seeking a Material Planner, Mechanical to ensure the production schedule is feasible for mechanical components, from enclosures to sheet metal. You will drive MRP, CTB status, and supplier forecast, bridging production planning, inventory, and strategic sourcing.

This is a full-time role in a fast-moving hardware environment where capacity constraints in metal fabrication require proactive shortage management and precise ERP parameters.

Qualifications

• 2-5+ years of dedicated material planning or MRP experience, ideally with exposure to fabricated metal, enclosures, structural steel, or related mechanical assemblies.
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Mechanical Engineering, Business, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Solid working knowledge of MRP logic, complex manufacturing BOM structures, and ERP planning modules (e.g., Acumatica or similar systems).
• Comfort working directly with fabrication suppliers to communicate rolling forecasts and secure firm delivery commitments.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and data management tools to maintain shortage tracking, CTB models, and net-requirement feeds.

Responsibilities

• MRP Execution & Requirements Netting: Run MRP and BOM explosions for mechanical SKUs against the MPS, netting gross requirements against on-hand, on-order, and in-transit inventory.
• Clear-to-Build (CTB) Coverage: Maintain and refresh CTB coverage status by SKU and work center, accounting for supplier fabrication capacity constraints during peak production periods.
• Proactive Shortage Escalation: Identify potential material shortages ahead of floor execution, escalating to Strategic Sourcing for expedite or dual-source actions while tracking resolutions.
• Supplier Forecast & Commitment Cadence: Share rolling forecasts with mechanical and fabrication suppliers, secure lead-time and capacity commitments, and feed commits back into MRP within negotiated commercial frameworks.
• Planning Parameter Management: Set and maintain item-level ERP planning parameters (order policy, lot sizing, lead times, safety stock, make/buy flags, and time fences) at MBOM release.
• Inventory Accuracy & ABC Classification: Partner with Materials Management to reconcile ERP balances against physical stock, while maintaining ABC usage classification data for mechanical parts.
• S&OP Forum Representation: Represent the mechanical material and CTB constraint view during monthly Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) reconciliations.
