We are looking for a detail oriented Buyer to support purchasing, supplier coordination, and supply chain data accuracy across our hardware programs. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who is highly organized, strong in Excel, comfortable working with data, and excited to build experience in a fast moving aerospace and defense manufacturing environment.

You will help issue purchase orders, collect supplier quotes, track open orders, maintain accurate supplier and pricing data, and build reports that help the team make better purchasing and planning decisions.

  • Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables, formulas, lookups, data cleanup, and reporting
  • High attention to detail and strong follow through

  • Comfort working in a fast paced startup building hardware for Aerospace and Defense related projects
  • U.S citizen or GC/EAD

  • Experience in manufacturing, aerospace, defense, hardware, or another complex product environment
  • Familiarity with purchase orders, supplier quotes, lead times, inventory data, and basic procurement workflows
  • Exposure to BOMs, PLM systems, or engineering driven product development
  • Awareness of AS9100, ITAR/EAR, or regulated manufacturing environments

What we have to offer:

We are not just building components. We are reshaping the future of the Aerospace and Defense component industry, which is a $300B+ market! Come join us and help build next generation systems that will make a massive impact at global scale.

  • Competitive compensation: $60,000 to $80,000 base salary + equity
  • Exceptional healthcare benefits — Medical is 100% covered by the company
  • Life Insurance (2x Salary) 100% covered by the company
