Description
We are seeking a Supply Planner to join our team in Quonset, Rhode Island. The Supply Chain team is responsible for planning and sourcing of materials to support the rapid iteration and building of cutting-edge defence hardware for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). The Supply Planner will have material flow responsibility spanning the entire value chain from raw materials through finished goods, contributing to the strategic supply network development of Anduril's product hardware, across their life cycles.
As a Supply Planner, you will own the accurate planning and on-time delivery of both raw material to internal assembly lines as well as finished goods to customers. You will support day-to-day demand signalling, ordering, and inventory management for product lines. You will identify supply issues, flag them with the appropriate owners across Engineering, Purchasing, Manufacturing, and drive resolution.
You will own the reporting and analysis of supply and material health, ensuring that stakeholders have the inputs they need to make decisions across Engineering (cut-in dates for new designs), Purchasing (signals on what to buy), Manufacturing (signals on being clear-to-build and what to build), Business Development (supply overview to drive customer contracts).
You will work closely with the Sourcing Engineers and Manufacturing Engineering team to source components, maintain vendor relationships, and develop make vs. buy strategies. You will facilitate discussions with Business Development and Growth teams to review unconstrained forecasts and get to constrained demand plans that are achievable.
You will develop and maintain processes for working within MRP and the associated master data. You will support all cost engineering activities to converge the bottoms-up cost curve to product cost, maximising the total cost of ownership (TCO) across the product lifecycle.
Requirements:
- 3+ years' past experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment in either a supply chain or production-type role where complex mechanical and/or electrical assemblies were built
- Demonstrated ability to completely own a value chain from start to finish, coordinating among multiple different internal and external parties to achieve on-time deliveries under stringent quality standards
- Familiarity with developing high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment
- Prior knowledge of Netsuite or a similar Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering (BSME, BSEE) or other related technical degree. Advanced technical degree or MBA strongly preferred
- Eligibility to obtain a US security clearance (status not required at time of hire)
Preferred qualifications include experience interacting with SQL databases, Lean Manufacturing and/or Continuous Improvement and Six Sigma principles in action, and a Bachelor’s degree or higher in any technical field including mechanical/aerospace/manufacturing, electrical, or computer engineering, supply chain, or business with a technical minor or concentration.
