solutions.\nRESONSIBILIES\nMaterial Planning & Supply Assurance\nOwn the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process for assigned product lines and commodities, converting demand forecasts and production schedules into purchase requirements and supply plans.\nEnsure material availability aligns with manufacturing requirements while maintaining targeted inventory levels and cash utilization goals.\nAnalyze supply and demand at the part-number level, proactively identifying shortages, excess inventory, allocation risks, and capacity constraints.\nDevelop and execute mitigation plans to prevent line-down situations and customer delivery impacts.\nSupplier & Inventory Management\nManage supplier commitments and delivery schedules for long-lead and constrained components, including semiconductors, optics, custom electronics, and mechanical assemblies.\nLead supplier communications related to demand changes, forecast commitments, expedites, recovery plans, and capacity planning.\nMonitor inventory health, inventory turns, safety stock levels, excess and obsolete inventory exposure, and inventory accuracy.\nDrive inventory optimization initiatives that improve service levels while reducing working capital requirements.\nCross-Functional Collaboration\nPartner with Procurement, Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, and Program Management teams to ensure material readiness across production and new product introduction (NPI) activities.\nCollaborate with Engineering on BOM changes, product revisions, and engineering change orders (ECOs) to minimize supply chain disruption.\nSupport manufacturing scheduling and production sequencing decisions based on material availability and supply constraints.\nCoordinate resolution activities for non-conforming, quarantined, or obsolete inventory.\nPlanning Excellence & Continuous Improvement\nMaintain planning master data within ERP systems, including lead times, lot sizes, reorder parameters, safety stock settings, and sourcing rules.\nSupport Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) by providing supply assessments, scenario modeling, inventory projections, and risk analysis.\nDevelop reporting and dashboards to monitor planning performance and material readiness.\nIdentify opportunities to improve planning processes, ERP utilization, supplier performance, and overall supply chain resiliency.\nREQUIRED QUALIFICATOINS\nBachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.\n5+ years of experience in Materials Planning, Production Planning, Supply Planning, or Supply Chain Management within a manufacturing environment.\nExperience supporting complex

Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar platforms.\nStrong understanding of:MRP planning principles\nBOM management\nInventory control\nLead-time planning\nCapacity and supply planning\nSafety stock methodologies\n\nProven ability to manage supplier performance and resolve critical material shortages under tight timelines.\nAdvanced Excel and data analysis skills, including forecasting, modeling, reporting, and inventory analysis.\nStrong communication, collaboration, and presentation skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across multiple functions.\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nAPICS / ASCM Certification (CPIM, CSCP, or CLTD).\nExperience planning supply for semiconductors, optical systems, PCBA assemblies, sensors, or other allocation-sensitive electronic components.\nExperience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) and product ramp activities.\nExperience in automotive, autonomous systems, lidar, electronics, defense, aerospace, or advanced technology manufacturing environments.\nKnowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, or Continuous Improvement methodologies.\nExperience working in global supply chain environments with international suppliers and contract manufacturers.\nWORK ENVIRONMENT & PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS\nThis role is based onsite at MicroVision's Orlando FL facility and requires regular presence on the production floor as well as in an
