Descrição da oferta de emprego

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Experience & Education

• Bachelors in supply chain management, operations, business, or a related field
• 8+ years in technical procurement, supply chain, or materials management
• 3+ years managing purchasing or materials teams
• Experience sourcing precision optical, laser, vacuum, or custom electronic assemblies for low-volume, high-complexity equipment.
• Experience establishing inventory and supplier controls while engineering designs are evolving; quantum-computing, photonics, or scientific-instrument manufacturing experience preferred.

Qualifications

• Ability to interpret technical purchasing requirements and work with engineers and suppliers on component specifications, configuration changes, and conformance documentation.
• Strong supplier negotiation, capacity-assessment, and recovery-planning skills for custom components and low-volume, high-complexity equipment.
• Practical knowledge of material planning, system-specific kitting, serial/lot traceability, controlled storage, and inventory reconciliation.
• Experience with enterprise resource planning (ERP) purchasing and inventory workflows; hands-on NetSuite experience preferred.
• Clear communication and sound judgment when balancing prototype and repeat-build demand, supplier limitations, and Manufacturing need dates.
