  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives in supply chain operations to improve efficiency, cost, and quality.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of NDAA regulations and advise internal teams accordingly.
  • Oversee inventory management and demand forecasting to align supply with production schedules.
  • Lead negotiation and contracting efforts with suppliers to secure favorable terms.

Requirements

Required qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of supply chain management experience, preferably in aerospace, defense, or high-tech manufacturing industries.
  • Strong knowledge of NDAA compliance requirements and experience managing supply chains involving regulated components.
  • Proven ability to manage supplier relationships and conduct supplier evaluations and audits.
  • Experience with inventory management, demand planning, and procurement systems.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, quality, and legal teams.
  • Willingness to travel as needed.
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States.
Preferred qualifications
  • Experience working in drone, robotics, or aerospace supply chains.
