Senior Production Material Planner, Energy Storage

Position Summary

The Senior Production Material Planner is a career-level role that owns material planning for assigned electronics and mechanical commodities supporting battery energy storage system (BESS) production. The role converts production schedules into supply requirements through MRP, manages planning parameters and master data, and drives suppliers to deliver against the build plan. Working with Supply Chain, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Finance, the role identifies material constraints early, resolves shortages, and manages the inventory impact of engineering changes and new product introduction builds.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Lead material planning for assigned electronics and mechanical commodities, translating production schedules and demand into MRP-driven supply requirements
• Maintain planning parameters and master data (lead times, lot sizes, safety stock, bills of material) to reflect supplier capability and meet inventory, service level, and cost targets
• Perform daily supply and constraint management, including clear-to-build and run-out analysis, and resolve shortages and exceptions ahead of the build schedule
• Serve as the primary interface with assigned suppliers on delivery status, schedule changes, and issue resolution, escalating to Global Supply Chain Management, Quality, or Engineering when required
• Manage engineering changes and product transitions to minimize excess and obsolete inventory and maintain continuity of supply
• Support new product introduction builds by confirming material readiness from prototype through production ramp
• Develop, track, and report material KPIs (clear-to-build, days on hand, excess and obsolete inventory, supplier on-time delivery) to Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Finance

Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of material planning, production planning, or supply chain experience (3+ years with a Master's degree), ideally in high-volume electronics, automotive, or battery manufacturing
• Working knowledge of MRP/ERP systems, bills of material, and discrete manufacturing planning processes
• Working knowledge of electronics and mechanical components such as PCBAs, harnesses, busbars, and machined parts
• Proficiency in Excel and data analysis for clear-to-build, run-out, and inventory analysis
• Ability to manage supplier relationships and secure delivery commitments from domestic and international suppliers

The position is full-time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
