You will define and drive strategy for procurement, inventory management, traceability, vendor management, and BOM/MRP modules within a factory operating system platform.

What You'll Do

• Own the supply chain product roadmap, setting strategy across procurement, inventory, traceability, vendor management, and BOM/MRP modules.
• Visit factory floors and engage directly with supply chain directors and procurement leads to uncover real operational pain points.
• Translate complex hardware supply chain logic into clear specs, wireframes, and functional prototypes in close collaboration with engineering.
• Leverage AI-assisted tools to rapidly prototype solutions, run data queries, and navigate APIs alongside the engineering team.
• Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, design, customer success, and sales to ensure features deliver measurable ROI.
• Analyze inventory flow metrics, user behavior, and customer feedback to validate hypotheses and continuously improve outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

• 3 to 10 years of product management experience shipping features end-to-end, from research through launch.
• 2 or more years working directly in manufacturing or supply chain operations, such as factory floor, procurement, inventory, or logistics roles.
• Prior software engineering or hands‑on coding experience, whether before or alongside PM work.
• Deep knowledge of procurement workflows, BOM/MRP, inventory allocation, and traceability.
• Demonstrated ability to build functional prototypes and write technical specifications from complex domain logic.
• Experience working across Python, React, SQL, PostgreSQL, AWS, ERP systems such as NetSuite or SAP, MES, PLM, and AI-assisted prototyping tools.
• Proven ability to align and influence across engineering, design, sales, and customer stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, supply chain, or a related technical field.
• Background in advanced hardware sectors such as aerospace, defense, energy, robotics, or automotive is a strong plus.
• Willingness to work on‑site in Los Angeles at least 3 days per week.
