We are backed by partners who share our vision, including Eclipse, Khosla Ventures, Bpifrance, and HSG, alongside Eric Schmidt, Xavier Niel, Daniela Rus, and Vladlen Koltun. Our people work across the Bay Area and Europe, building the engine that will teach robots to do real work in the real world. We recently unveiled Eno, our wheeled, dexterous robot powered by our GENE foundation model, and we are starting to put it to work with real customers.\nThe role\nEvery part that goes into our robot: who makes it, at what price, on what lead time, to what quality. You build the supplier base for production, develop domestic sources for the sub-systems that need them, and make sure the line never waits on a part. You start with a bill of materials, a design team and a few suppliers; you end with a qualified, dual-sourced supply chain that supports production with our manufacturing partner at a cost that comes down with volume.\nWhat you'll do\nBuild the supplier base: source, qualify and manage suppliers for machined and cast structures, gears and actuators, motors, PCBAs, harnesses, shells, batteries and sensors; two sources for every critical sub-system.\n\nDevelop domestic suppliers where the product and our customers require them, and manage the content requirements that come with selling into regulated markets.\n\nOwn the commercial side: RFQs, should-cost and total-cost models, piece price and tooling negotiation, long-term agreements, payment and warranty terms; work with Legal on supplier agreements and with Finance on the cost roadmap.\n\nSit in design reviews from the start: flag long-lead, single-source and high-risk parts before design freeze; bring supplier capability into the design.\n\nOwn clear-to-build and the plan: every unit on the schedule has a complete kit before it starts; a rolling plan the line, the partner and the suppliers all see; capacity planning with suppliers ahead of demand; inventory accuracy and safety stock by part class.\n\nOwn the BOM in production: cost roll-ups by phase, engineering change control with the design team and Manufacturing Engineering, cost-down from pilot to volume.\n\nBuild the supplier quality loop with Manufacturing Engineering and Quality: first article and PPAP where it applies, incoming inspection, supplier scorecards and quarterly reviews, corrective action and recovery.\n\nRun logistics: inbound, between our facility and our partner's, import and export paperwork with Legal, spares and service parts.\n\nStand up the systems as we grow: part numbering, BOM control, MRP, supplier portal; the weekly numbers (clear-to-build, on-time delivery, PPV, inventory) and the readout to leadership.\n\nWhat we are looking for\nYou have built a supplier base for a hardware product going into production, not managed one handed to you.\n\nDeep experience with machined and cast metal parts, gears or actuators, motors, PCBAs and harnesses, and the suppliers who make them; you read drawings and GD&T.\n\nYou have developed new suppliers in new regions and qualified them to a standard.\n\nStrong commercial record: you have negotiated price, tooling and terms with suppliers and contract manufacturers and closed long-term agreements.\n\nYou are fluent in BOMs, change control, should-cost and cost roll-ups, and comfortable with the people who design the product.\n\n8 or more years in supply chain, sourcing or supplier development for complex hardware, with time in a mature organization so you know what the systems look like at scale, and experience leading people; engineering degree preferred.\n\nBonus: robotics or automotive; contract manufacturer selection and transition; import and export compliance; APICS or CPSM.\n\nWorking Conditions\nOffice and production environments; travel to suppliers and partner sites, including international, up to 30%.\nHow we work\nWe are always looking for people who are driven to work on hard problems and want to shape what the world will look like in ten years. A few of the values that guide us:\nLimitless ambition. We hold ourselves to the highest bar in everything we build.\n\nRelentless urgency. Iterate faster, learn faster. Time is the denominator.\n\nType-2 Fun. Take the work seriously, not yourself. Embrace the grind and find joy in the struggle.\n\nRadical transparency. Candid communication builds trust, and direct feedback drives growth.\n\nMulticulturalism. We come from across the world. Be curious. Meet people on their terms.\n\nTeam over ego. Help others, share context, and win as a team.\n\nA joyful journey. We take pride in the craft, enjoy the ride, and make space to laugh. Happiness is part of how we get there.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4997,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Supply Chain","Venture Capital"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T05:55:59Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":182500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":54,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.6,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":17,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/eclipse-senior-manager-supply-chain-robot-production","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/eclipse-senior-manager-supply-chain-robot-production.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T10:55:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7773,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":722380},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=722380"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Feclipse-senior-manager-supply-chain-robot-production"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Feclipse-senior-manager-supply-chain-robot-production"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Feclipse-senior-manager-supply-chain-robot-production"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/eclipse-senior-manager-supply-chain-robot-production\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Feclipse-senior-manager-supply-chain-robot-production"}]}
