Our Fabric architecture delivers a 10-100x improvement in energy efficiency for general-purpose computation, including AI, while supporting familiar programming languages and software frameworks-unlocking new possibilities for autonomous machines, intelligent infrastructure, wearables, and space systems. With our first processor, Electron E1, now shipping in volume and more than $97 million in Series B financing recently announced, we're accelerating customer deployments and scaling our architecture to data center performance. Join us to build the hardware and software that bring intelligence wherever it's needed and help shape the next generation of computing.\nAbout the Role\nWe are moving from prototype to production across several chip programs, and we are growing a small, high-impact Supply Chain and Operations team to support that ramp. We are looking for an experienced semiconductor supply chain professional to join our Supply Chain and Operations team as a hands-on Manager. The right person brings deep experience sourcing, evaluating, and procuring third-party semiconductor IP, strong logistics and trade operations skills, and a solid working understanding of the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain. You are comfortable in a startup where processes are still being built, and you work well with engineers, executives, and external partners.\nWhat We Are Looking For\n6+ years (Manager) or 8+ years (Senior Manager) of supply chain, sourcing, or procurement experience, with direct experience in the semiconductor industry. Fabless, IDM, foundry, OSAT, IP vendor, and semiconductor equipment backgrounds are all welcome.\nProven experience sourcing, evaluating, and procuring third-party semiconductor IP (for example processor cores, interface and SerDes PHYs, memory compilers, standard cell and I/O libraries, and analog or power IP), including negotiating license fees, NRE, royalties, scope, and renewals.\nAbility to partner with design and verification engineers to evaluate IP technically and commercially: process node and foundry compatibility, silicon proof, deliverables, vendor support, roadmap, and vendor financial health.\nStrong logistics and trade operations experience: freight forwarders and carriers, international shipping of high-value, sensitive goods, customs clearance, import and export documentation, duties and tariffs, and incoterms.\nWorking knowledge of how a chip is designed, manufactured, packaged, tested, and shipped, with enough depth to follow supplier and engineering discussions. Hands-on foundry or OSAT management experience is a plus, but is not required.\nStrong cost analysis, negotiation, and contract skills. Formal legal training is not required.\nStrong analytical skills, including advanced Excel, and the discipline to build trackers, templates, and procedures and keep them current.\nExcellent written and verbal communication, and the habit of keeping managers and partners informed and escalating risks early with options and a recommendation.\nComfort working independently and in a fast-moving startup environment, with a bias toward getting things done.\nBachelor's degree in supply chain, business, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.\nNice to Have\nExperience at a startup or small company where processes were built from scratch.\nExperience with export controls and ITAR in a semiconductor or defense-adjacent environment.\nExperience with demand and supply planning, S&OP, and inventory management.\nExperience with high-mix, low-volume products or early production ramps.\nExperience with EDA tool licensing.\nFamiliarity with ERP and planning systems.\nProfessional certification such as APICS (CPIM, CSCP) or CPSM, or an MBA.\nWe offer a competitive base salary for this role, generally ranging from $110,000 to $160,000, plus a 10% annual bonus, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits. Final compensation will depend on experience, level, and location, with flexibility for the right candidate.\nWhy Join Efficient?\nBuild what's next. At Efficient, you'll tackle big challenges with room to take ownership and make an impact. We back you with competitive pay, equity, a 401(k) match, company-paid benefits, paid parental leave, and flexibility-plus opportunities to grow your skills and career as we scale.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4422,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Supply Chain","Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T19:27:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":160000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/efficient-computer-senior-manager-supply-chain","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/efficient-computer-senior-manager-supply-chain.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T10:12:11Z","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":14673,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2217001},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2217001"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fefficient-computer-senior-manager-supply-chain"},{"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%2Fefficient-computer-senior-manager-supply-chain"},{"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%2Fefficient-computer-senior-manager-supply-chain"},{"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/efficient-computer-senior-manager-supply-chain\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fefficient-computer-senior-manager-supply-chain"}]}
