## About the role

As an NPI Buyer/Planner, you sit between engineering and the factory floor. When a new design or a redesigned part comes out of engineering, you're the one who finds it a home: a qualified supplier, a real lead time, a purchase order, and a place on the build schedule. You'll work from our material cost breakdowns and BOMs directly — real part numbers, real suppliers, real weight and cost data — not a black-box spreadsheet someone else maintains. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of buying or planning experience in hardware, robotics, or a related electromechanical precision-manufacturing environment
- Comfort reading a BOM and an engineering drawing well enough to have an informed conversation with both a supplier and an engineer
- Experience translating a demand forecast into purchase requirements — you've done the math on spares, lead time, and safety stock before
- A track record of qualifying and onboarding new suppliers, ideally for precision mechanical or electromechanical components
- Working knowledge of an ERP or MRP system, PLM experience is a strong plus
- Comfortable with the ambiguity of an early-stage ramp — you build the process while you're running it
