Supply Chain Manager / Production Planner
About Corvus
Every physical good spends time in a warehouse, and every warehouse tracks their inventory. Today, nearly 100% of warehouses track their inventory manually using barcode scanners and climbing forklifts.
We're Corvus Robotics. Our fully autonomous Corvus One™ drones use computer vision & robotics to automatically track inventory, improving worker safety and increasing labor efficiency. We believe that data-driven, safe inventory management will optimize the global physical economy and improve economic prosperity for humanity.
What we're seeking
We're looking for a supply chain and production coordinator to own our pre-production workflows -- from supplier communications and material planning to receiving and IQC.
This role is foundational to our production operations and the ideal candidate is experienced in managing the supply chain for advanced hardware products, such as robotics, medical devices, aerospace, or PCBAs. This person will play a key role in managing supplier relationships and monitoring inventory health, running and scaling a robust, resilient production for robotics manufacturing.
Specifically, in this role you will:
• Forecast production volume and generate procurement plans for strategic and high-volume suppliers
• Negotiate, set terms, and schedule blanket purchases based on production cycle
• Monitor and proactively mitigate risks in inventory and supply chain health for key components
• Coordinate receiving across supplier and production facilities, including international shipments
• Manage and maintain IQC and putaway processes with an ERP and quality assurance tools
This role is in-person/hybrid in Mountain View, CA. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply. The ideal candidate is organized, driven, and committed to growing & learning quickly.
Must have
• 3+ YOE in supply chain management and production planning for robotics, medical devices, aerospace, PCBA, or 3C electronics
• Fluency in Mandarin (written/spoken) for direct communication with mandarin-speaking suppliers and manufacturers
• Demonstrated experience working with modern ERP, accounting/order tracking, and inventory management software
• Experience with creatively sourcing limited stock components, handling import/export shipments and customs declaration for sensitive components
• Demonstrated experience with hardware BOM management, NPI, and revision control
Nice to have
• Engineering background (mechanical, electrical, or industrial engineering)
• Experience in a startup or fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
• Experience in assembly line management or sourcing operations overseas
