[Hiring] Material Supply Planner @Halter

Role Description

Getting the right components and materials to the right place at the right time is one of the most operationally critical things Halter does. Miss it and production output slips, customers wait, and the business pays for it.

As a Material Supply Planner, you’ll make sure that doesn’t happen. You’ll own supply for a defined set of components and suppliers, work closely with our suppliers and contract manufacturers to get results, and take on the persistent problems that put production at risk.

You’ll be deep in the details:

• Turning demand into material requirements.
• Placing and managing purchase orders.
• Keeping inventory in healthy shape.
• Finding shortages well before they reach the production line.

You’ll work alongside our Hardware operations teams, including Production and the wider Supply Chain team, bringing the supply view that keeps the plan honest and visible.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll pick up real projects from day one and deliver them, and as supply planning grows at Halter, there’s room to grow with it.

Qualifications

• Supply or materials planning experience in a hardware or electronics manufacturing environment.
• Strong grasp of material requirements planning, purchase order management, inventory control, and how demand turns into supply requirements.
• Real experience working with a contract manufacturer.
• Supplier relationships that hold up under pressure.
• Sharp analytical skills.
• Strong ownership and follow-through.
• Clear, direct communication.
• Low ego and comfortable with hard conversations.

Requirements

• Run the supply plan for your components, turning demand forecasts and production requirements into material requirements at the right quantities and timing.
• Place, manage and track purchase orders, making sure they’re confirmed, on schedule and flagged early when they’re at risk.
• Run the clear-to-build check ahead of each production build, and lead the recovery when a shortage hits.
• Build working relationships with the people who control outcomes at your suppliers and contract manufacturers.
• Take on the persistent supplier problems in your area.
• Manage inventory for your components with enough cover to protect production without tying up cash.
• Plan the supply side of engineering changes and new product introductions.
• Maintain the reporting that gives an honest view of supply health in your area.

Benefits

• Work that genuinely matters.
• Spectacular people solving hard problems.
• You'll grow here with autonomy, mastery, and learning.
• This isn't easy, and we love that it's hard.
