As we scale from Alpha customer readiness toward Production and Volume Readiness, securing the right components at the right price and lead time - power semiconductors, magnetics, PCBs and mechanical parts - becomes mission-critical.\nThe role\nAs Procurement & Supply Chain Lead, you will own the purchasing and supply chain for the materials, equipment, parts and services that keep our prototype, pilot and volume production on track - from negotiating with suppliers to coordinating with contract manufacturers and logistics partners. You will partner closely with Engineering to translate technical requirements into sourcing decisions, and help build our purchasing processes as we scale.\nThis role is for you if you’ve negotiated with component suppliers yourself, like being hands-on, and enjoy building processes rather than following them - ideally with experience buying electronic components for B2B hardware such as power electronics, industrial equipment or automation systems. It isn’t for you if you prefer managing a team, require an established ERP and approval chain to work well, or a clearly defined, stable scope. It would not be a fit if your procurement background is mainly consumer goods, retail or indirect spend without hands-on exposure to electronic components.\nWhat you will do\nContract and purchase raw materials, equipment, tools, parts, services and supplies needed for prototype, pilot and volume production.\n\nNegotiate pricing, terms and delivery schedules with suppliers for critical components - power semiconductors, magnetics, PCBs, and mechanical/enclosure parts.\n\nIssue and manage purchase orders; track order status and expedite as needed to meet production schedules.\n\nSource and coordinate with suppliers and contract manufacturers (EMS, PCB vendors, logistics partners) on order status, lead times and quality issues.\n\nWork closely with Engineering to understand technical requirements, communicate them clearly to suppliers, and identify alternate sourcing options for critical or long-lead-time components.\n\nSupport supplier qualification and specification compliance for new and existing vendors.\n\nMaintain purchasing records, the Bill of Materials (BOM) and sourcing data; track lead times, inventory levels and supplier performance, and flag supply chain risks.\n\nDrive logistics and inbound/outbound shipments together with our logistics partners.\n\nScale the supplier base and purchasing processes as we move from Alpha Customer readiness to Production and Volume Readiness.\n\nWhat you bring\nBSc in supply chain management, business administration, engineering or comparable education, or equivalent experience.\n\nSeveral years of hands-on experience in procurement, purchasing or supply chain, specifically in electronics or hardware manufacturing.\n\nStrong negotiation skills; track record of managing supplier contracts and pricing.\n\nSpecific experience sourcing electronic or mechanical components (semiconductors, PCBs, magnetics, enclosures); experience with contract manufacturers (EMS) is a plus.\n\nOrganised and detail-oriented, comfortable managing multiple supplier relationships.\n\nTeam player, comfortable working cross-functionally with Engineering and Operations in a fast-paced start-up environment with evolving priorities.\n\nFluent in English, spoken and written; German language skills helpful, but not mandatory.\n\nWhat we offer\nEquity + competitive salary.\n\nUnique technology and market opportunity - validated prototype and first paying customers on the path to volume shipments.\n\nHybrid work with flexible working times.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3834,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible schedule","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Military Logistics","Supply Chain","Servers & Data Center Hardware","Power Supplies & Power Electronics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T10:14:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":64,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.716,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":15,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:3","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hyperscale-power-procurement-supply-chain-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hyperscale-power-procurement-supply-chain-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T16:38:27Z","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":34899,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":3786767},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3786767"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhyperscale-power-procurement-supply-chain-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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%2Fhyperscale-power-procurement-supply-chain-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fhyperscale-power-procurement-supply-chain-lead"},{"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/hyperscale-power-procurement-supply-chain-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhyperscale-power-procurement-supply-chain-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3391391}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"hyperscale-power.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3391391},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
