Job summary

Fluidstack in San Francisco is seeking a senior supply chain professional to own sourcing for mechanical categories, lock lead times, and qualify suppliers with engineering rigor. You will drive supplier performance, manage lead times, and ensure capacity aligns with the forward build plan for frontier compute infrastructure.

We value data-driven decisions, rapid execution, and a strong track record in supplier negotiations.

Qualifications

Sourced mechanical or fabricated categories for a manufacturer and owned supplier relationships.
Read drawings and specs well enough to challenge a quote line by line.
Qualified new suppliers under time pressure without skipping critical steps.
Secured capacity in constrained markets and monitored supplier performance data (on-time delivery, PPM, lead times).
Experience negotiating multi‑year agreements to maintain price and priority as volumes grow.

Responsibilities

Own sourcing for mechanical categories feeding manufacturing: steel, fabrications, cooling components, and mechanical assemblies.
Lock supply and lead times against the build plan with capacity commitments that withstand demand spikes.
Qualify suppliers technically with engineering: first articles, PPAP-style approvals, and audits.
Negotiate multi-year agreements that hold price and priority as volumes grow 10x.
