The engineers of the mid-1900s put a man on the moon in eight years, designed and built planes and submarines from scratch in under three, and conceived of building things we wouldn’t even be able to dream up today.\nToday, the last of the engineers who imagined and built these systems are retiring. As they go, we lose not only the engineering knowledge gained from their decades of imagination and trial-and-error, but also the spirit that made that imagination possible.\nAmca is working day-in and day-out to restore America’s ability to engineer anything that our critical systems depend on, and reinvigorate the cycle of creation that allows imagination to shape physical reality. We rapidly develop and manufacture new critical components and subsystems required to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. By restoring the capability of our antiquated supply chains, we increase the country’s capacity to imagine and realize new systems, and make a physical world that looks very different from today.\nOverview:\nSupply Chain Buyers own end-to-end procurement for Amca's manufacturing operations. We will hand you a set of parts, you'll be held accountable for whether they show up on time at the right price, and we'll give you the autonomy to make that happen. You'll source and fulfill the parts and materials that go into our builds, track hardware from quote through delivery, and keep the manufacturing floor stocked to support build rate. You'll also own the supply chain health of your assigned commodities and build out the supply base by vetting new suppliers in that commodity and partnering with only the best. \nResponsibilities:\nProcurement\nOwn the full procurement cycle: source, quote, negotiate, and issue POs for machined parts, hardware, raw materials, special processes, and consumables\n\nManage open orders end to end: track deliveries, update lead times, and expedite anything putting the build schedule at risk\n\nResolve PO discrepancies across receiving, suppliers, and engineering - own each issue through to closure\nMaintain accurate ERP/MRP data: open POs, lead times, pricing, vendor records, and part statuses\nMaintain visibility into build status and material readiness, and flag shortages early enough to act on\n\nIdentify cost and lead time improvement opportunities across the supply base\nSupplier Development\nIdentify and onboard new suppliers across machining, injection molding, PCBAs, electronics, soft goods, testing, assembly, and other processes as needed\n\nVet suppliers on capability, quality systems, capacity, and certifications\nVisit shops to assess them first-hand and build the relationships that get Amca's needs prioritized when it matters\n\nRun quarterly business reviews and grow a vendor base that can scale with our manufacturing operations\n\nExpectations:\nIn your first year, you own your scope outright: on-time delivery to promise, zero line-down shortages you didn't flag in advance, measurable cost and lead time reduction across your supply base, and at least five newly qualified suppliers across your commodities.\nQualifications:\n1-5 years (including internships) in purchasing, procurement, materials planning, or supply chain analysis in a manufacturing environment \n\nDemonstrated ownership of PO management and open order tracking in an ERP or MRP system\n\nStrong organizational skills to be able to manage a large and constantly shifting queue of open orders and build priorities\n\nDirect, proactive communicator with suppliers, engineers, and the production floor\n\nThrives in a fast, ambiguous environment where the plan changes\n\nAble to travel 25%, with heavier stretches during supplier qualification campaigns\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nComfortable working from BOMs and engineering drawings to translate requirements into procurement actions\n\nAerospace, defense, or precision manufacturing background\n\nFamiliarity with supplier qualification processes and quality documentation (C of C, material certs, AS9100)\nExperience sourcing across a broad range of commodities - machining, PCBAs, electronics, testing, coatings, NDT\n\nAnnual Salary Range\n$80,000—$120,000 USD\nThis position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
