Our mission is to transform the movement of goods globally by developing autonomous systems that optimize supply chains, improve warehouse efficiency, and ensure workplace safety. We believe in the power of collaboration and continuous innovation, and our team is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotics. Join us in shaping the future of automation!\nThe Purchasing Analyst keeps material flowing to our production line and field fleet. You will own the day-to-day purchasing cycle: turning demand into purchase orders, getting parts on the dock when they're needed, and keeping the system of record accurate enough for the rest of the company to trust. Reporting to the Purchasing Manager, you will know the status of every open PO and spot the shortage before it stops the line. This is a hands-on, onsite role in Norcross, GA. You'll join a company that is scaling production and replacing NetSuite with its own internally built ERP.\nResponsibilities:\nPO execution: turn MRP output, build plans and field-service demand into accurate, on-time POs. Confirm, track and expedite them through receipt, and escalate shortages early with options.\nShortage prevention: maintain a weekly runout report covering what we'll run out of next, when, and what's on order to cover it. Monitor on-hand, on-order and safety stock levels.\nECO execution: cancel, reschedule or re-quote affected POs quickly to limit excess and obsolete inventory.\nData accuracy: keep item, vendor, lead-time and pricing data accurate in the ERP. Resolve receiving and invoice discrepancies with Receiving and Finance.\nERP transition: test purchasing workflows in the new system, document how the process actually runs, and flag gaps before cutover.\nSupplier coordination: be the day-to-day contact for assigned suppliers. Request quotes, compare price and lead time, and track on-time delivery and quality issues with Quality.\nReporting: build simple, repeatable reports on PO status, supplier on-time delivery and spend.\nProcess simplification: remove or simplify steps in the purchasing process before anyone asks to automate them.\nRequirements\n2-4 years in purchasing, buying, procurement or materials planning, ideally in a hardware manufacturing environment\nHands-on experience running the full PO cycle in an ERP (creating, changing and closing POs), not just viewing reports\nPersistent follow-through: you can track dozens of open orders at once without dropping any\nClear, direct communication with suppliers and internal teams, including delivering bad news early\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience in robotics, automation, industrial equipment or another low-volume, high-mix hardware business\nFamiliarity with machined, sheet metal, fabricated and electrical components, and with reading basic drawings and BOMs\nExperience going through an ERP implementation or system migration\nExposure to excess and obsolete inventory management or to ECO-driven purchasing changes\nBenefits\nHealth Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)\nPaid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)\nStock Option Plan\nSlip Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate candidates on the merits of their experience and their fit for the role. We welcome applicants from every background.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3403,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"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":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T20:42:29Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":142500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":80,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.801,"p_room":1,"age_days":16,"expected_fill_days":51,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/slip-robotics-purchasing-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/slip-robotics-purchasing-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T14:21:10Z","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":22587,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"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":686801},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=686801"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fslip-robotics-purchasing-analyst"},{"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%2Fslip-robotics-purchasing-analyst"},{"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%2Fslip-robotics-purchasing-analyst"},{"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/slip-robotics-purchasing-analyst\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fslip-robotics-purchasing-analyst"}]}
