About the job
About Northwood:
At Northwood, we’re dedicated to revolutionizing connectivity between Earth and space, making the advantages of space accessible to all through cutting-edge space communications technology. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy witnessing your innovations deployed globally, we invite you to join our team.
Role Overview:
We are on the lookout for a dynamic Buyer/Planner II to lead procurement and material planning efforts for production and new product introduction (NPI) initiatives. This pivotal role directly influences our capacity to deliver next-generation space communication systems on schedule and at scale. You will manage the entire material lifecycle from demand to delivery, merging planning and purchasing to enhance speed, accountability, and effectiveness. Operating at the crossroads of supply chain, engineering, and operations, you will articulate evolving designs into precise material requirements, ensuring necessary components are available to facilitate uninterrupted builds and testing.
This position demands the ability to navigate ambiguity, make swift decisions with limited data, and proactively address supply challenges before they affect production. You will be responsible for managing your programs, pushing suppliers to meet stringent timelines, and continually refining our planning and procurement processes as we grow.
If you are motivated by ownership, thrive in dynamic settings, and want to see your decisions materialize into tangible hardware, we would love to connect with you.
