  • Hands-on experience creating internal part numbers and structuring multi-level BOMs, from top-level assemblies down to components
  • A strong understanding of revision control, engineering change processes (ECR/ECO), and AML/AVL management
  • The ability to read and interpret datasheets and spec sheets for hardware such as servers, networking gear, power, cabling, and optics
  • Experience managing EOL notices, PCNs, last-time buys, and excess and obsolete inventory
  • Experience translating changing deployment schedules into material plans, and managing long-lead components and shortages
More about this role

Gimlet is building the first multi-silicon neocloud designed for fast, efficient AI inference.

We combine large-scale compute infrastructure with an execution platform that partitions AI workloads and maps each stage to the hardware best suited to run it.

We work with foundation labs, hyperscalers, and AI-native companies, giving our team access to technical problems spanning frontier models, production infrastructure, and emerging hardware.
