What you'll do
- Buy parts. Request quotes, compare suppliers on price, lead time and quality, and place purchase orders for R&D and production materials.
- Keep orders moving. Track open orders, follow up with suppliers on delivery dates, and flag delays before they hold up a build.
- Coordinate logistics. Schedule inbound and outbound freight, get carrier quotes, and work with our shipping and receiving team to get material checked in and to the right place.
- Manage inventory data. Keep part numbers, bills of materials, stock levels and purchase records accurate in our ERP and inventory tools.
- Find savings. Analyze spend and lead times, and help identify second sources and better pricing for key parts.
- Improve the process. Build trackers, dashboards and simple automations (including AI tools) that make buying and logistics faster and easier to manage.
- Own a project. Take on one supply chain problem end to end and present your results to the Supply Chain & Manufacturing leadership team in April.

- Currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in supply chain management, operations, logistics, industrial engineering, business or a related field.
- Available to work on site at our Austin, TX facility from January 12 to April 16, 2027, for example as a co-op, academic-credit internship or semester away from classes.

- Organized and detail-oriented: you keep track of many open items and follow through on each one.
- Clear, professional communication by email and phone with suppliers and carriers.
- Curiosity about how physical products are sourced, built and shipped.
Nice to have
