  • Work with a cross-functional team to identify, qualify, and onboard cell and pack suppliers
  • Lead RFX, cost modeling, and supplier negotiations across global regions, covering all commercial aspects of the supply chain.
  • Drive supplier footprint decisions aligned with cost, capacity, and geopolitical risk
  • Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of industry trends from raw material to technology roadmap and competitive intelligence

Cost, Tooling & Scalability

  • Own should-cost models for cells and packs, driving costs down through design collaboration, process optimization, and commercial negotiations.
  • Define tooling strategies, capacity investments, and ramp plans with suppliers.
  • Balance prototype speed with production scalability without burning bridges or budgets.

NPI & Engineering Partnership

  • Support NPI from early design through mass production, managing prototypes for test assembly, functionality, and performance validation.
  • Partner with engineering teams to influence DFX and reduce cost and lead time at both the cell and pack level.
  • Source and manage prototype, pilot, and production suppliers while meeting aggressive timelines.

Supplier Performance & Risk Management

  • Own supplier performance across quality, delivery, cost, and responsiveness.
  • Lead capacity planning, dual-sourcing, and risk mitigation for long-lead and critical battery components.
  • Resolve supply disruptions decisively and prevent repeats.

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Act as the supply chain owner for battery cell and pack systems.
  • Communicate sourcing strategies, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to technical and executive teams.
  • Operate with urgency, data, and accountability in a fast-moving environment.

Qualifications

Required Qualifcations:

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Business, or related field.
  • Experience with batteries at both the pack level and cell level (pouch, cylindrical, prismatic)
  • 5+ years of experience in supply chain development, or sourcing management
  • Strong understanding of NPI support and scaling production in hardware-focused companies, through mass production.
  • Skilled at establishing strong relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
  • Able and willing to travel internationally and domestically approximately 25% of the time.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience in robotics, EV, automotive, or high-volume electromechanical/battery products.
  • Engineering degree
  • Previous work at a startup or on a very lean team
  • Comfortable working directly with drawings, BOMs, and cost breakdowns.
