## About the role

Every part that goes into our robot: who makes it, at what price, on what lead time, to what quality. This is the hands-on role. You build the supplier base for production, develop domestic sources for the sub-systems that need them, and make sure the line never waits on a part. You start with a bill of materials, a design team and a few suppliers; you end with a qualified, dual-sourced supply chain that supports production with our manufacturing partner.
