vehicle programs (Czinger)
and
equipment/manufacturing systems (Divergent) , coordinating hardware teams, procurement leads, and external suppliers to keep execution aligned with schedule and business needs. The Role
Program Scheduling & Milestone Management Develop and own
supply chain milestone plans
aligned with vehicle development, printer builds, and factory infrastructure timelines. Break down top-level program gates into
component-level material readiness plans , tying part numbers to build events and functional areas. Drive critical-path management for long-lead components, single-source items, and tooling procurement. Cross-Functional Integration Act as the primary supply chain liaison to Program Management, Engineering, and Manufacturing teams across both companies. Host weekly readiness meetings by commodity, program, and function. Track and escalate BOM changes, drawing updates, and material availability risks.
