 About Charge Robotics
 
 
 
 Charge Robotics is a Series A startup building robots that build solar farms.
 
 
 Demand for new solar projects is booming (1 &frasl; 5 of all the solar that exists in the US was installed last year!), but today&rsquo;s construction companies can&rsquo;t keep up due to limited labor resources.
 
 
 We thought this was insane, so we started working on robots to directly address this bottleneck and speed up the world&rsquo;s transition to renewables.
 
 
 Charge is a fast-moving company, which means constant opportunities for learning and growth. You&rsquo;ll have a large impact on the direction of our company, and will be compensated accordingly.
 
 
 We&rsquo;re MIT-founded and backed by top generalist and climate tech investors, including Energy Impact Partners, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator (S21). If you are excited to work on interesting technical problems with direct climate impact, you&rsquo;re going to fit right in! Read more about Charge here:

 What You&rsquo;ll Do
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Drive end‑to‑end supply chain strategy for Charge&rsquo;s hardware/robotic systems, balancing cost, quality, delivery, and risk across custom and off-the-shelf component inputs
 </li>
 <li>
 Build, maintain, and continuously improve our Bill of Materials; implement should‑cost/clean‑sheet models; drive PPV tracking and BOM roll‑ups that tie to finance
 </li>
 <li>
 Preempt supply chain bottlenecks by proactively planning for future system builds
 </li>
 <ul>
 <li>
 Identify and mitigate risk across the supply base (single‑source, geopolitical, commodity volatility); create continuity plans and buffer strategies aligned to program schedules
 </li>
 <li>
 Develop and execute category strategies, multi‑source/dual‑source critical parts, and negotiate capacity reservations, LTAs, and commercial terms
 </li>
 <li>
 Drive down cost and lead time via creative sourcing, contract structure, and negotiation
 </li>
 </ul>
 <li>
 Help build a high‑performing team covering procurement, vendor management, expediting/execution, receiving, and accounts payable
 </li>
 <ul>
 <li>
 Stand up scalable supplier management: scorecards, reviews, corrective actions, and supplier development to improve OTD and cost
 </li>
 <li>
 Continuously improve accounts payable processes: vendor onboarding, COIs/W‑9s, credit/terms, POs, receiving
 </li>
 <li>
 Coordinate closely with finance to manage equipment lease processes without slowing procurement
 </li>
 </ul>
 <li>
 Partner tightly with Design, Manufacturing, and Field Ops to flow R&amp;D &rarr; production: integrate DFM/DFA and ECOs; ensure part readiness and ramp capacity
 </li>
 <li>
 Establish the operating system for materials: demand planning, MRP, and inventory policies (cycle counts, location control, kitting), and logistics strategy
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 You
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Operate effectively in the fast‑paced environment of a rapidly growing startup, with technical aptitude and excellent written and verbal communication
 </li>
 <li>
 Feel energized by our mission to accelerate the clean energy transition through automation
 </li>
 <li>
 Bring 5+ years in hardware/industrial/manufacturing supply chain roles, including 2+ years leading teams with measurable cost, delivery, and quality outcomes
 </li>
 <li>
 Are a strategic supply chain leader who is equally comfortable building the long‑term architecture and diving into the BOM to find dollar‑level savings
 </li>
 <li>
 Have deep experience with BOM costing across mechanical and electrical categories (fabrications, machining, harnesses, purchased assemblies)
 </li>
 <li>
 Are a sharp negotiator who can structure LTAs, capacity reservations, and pricing mechanisms that survive scale‑up and market swings
 </li>
 <li>
 Build clear processes and simple, scalable systems, owning data quality and driving disciplined S&amp;OP/MRP execution
 </li>
 <li>
 Are fluent with ERP/MRP and source‑to‑pay concepts (items, AVL, lead times, safety stock, three‑way match, receiving) and comfortable partnering with Finance on reconciliations and cash forecasting
 </li>
 <li>
 Translate engineering changes into material plans and supplier actions; you understand ECOs, DFM/DFA, and the realities of prototype &rarr; production ramp
 </li>
 <li>
 Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 4-5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 It&rsquo;d also be nice if you
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Have scaled a supply chain function from one to n production for complex mechanical systems
 </li>
 <li>
 Have experience with complex industrial robotics/automation assemblies, and/or very large-scale components
 </li>
 <li>
 Have worked with MES/PLM/AP systems (e.g., ION, Silkline) and understand how to keep item and revision data in sync across engineering and ERP
 </li>
 <li>
 Have experience managing and hiring/building a team
 </li>
 <li>
 Have implemented VMI/consignment and/or kanban; understand import/export logistics and incoterms
 </li>
 <li>
 Are comfortable modeling in Excel (costed BOMs, PPV, sensitivity) and presenting insights to leadership
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Compensation Range: $130K - $180K
