About the job
Saronic Technologies is at the forefront of transforming maritime autonomy, committed to creating cutting-edge solutions that elevate maritime operations through intelligent and autonomous platforms.
Job Overview:
We seek a skilled Supply Chain Planner II who will oversee and enhance the material flow, components, and information for our autonomous surface vessels. This pivotal role involves accurately forecasting demand, managing inventory levels, and supporting production, New Product Introduction (NPI), and non-steady state operations. You will collaborate closely with engineering, procurement, program management, and suppliers to ensure material readiness while balancing cost, risk, and schedule in fast-paced environments. As a vital team member, you will maintain the integrity of our supply chain, meet deadlines, and ensure compliance with Department of Defense (DoD) regulations and standards.
Responsibilities:
Develop and refine comprehensive tactical supply plans to support NPI builds, production builds, and off-nominal builds.
Transform engineering demand, build schedules, and program milestones into actionable material requirements within ERP/MRP systems, ensuring system-driven visibility and control.
Enhance factory planning parameters (lead times, lot sizes, safety stock, planning fences, reorder strategies) to improve material flow, minimize shortages, and facilitate rapid design iterations.
Drive Bill of Materials (BOM) maturity and execution of change management by evaluating material impacts of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), managing cut-ins/cut-outs, and reducing excess and obsolete inventory exposure.
Identify and mitigate risks to material readiness stemming from design instability, supplier capacity constraints, long-lead components, and quality performance through structured risk management and recovery plans.
Ensure accurate governance of master data (BOMs, routings, planning attributes, supplier parameters) to facilitate reliable MRP outputs and production readiness indicators.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Procurement to align supply execution with build plans, capacity limitations, and program priorities.
Establish and track metrics related to material readiness (shortage tracking, kit completeness, on-time builds, supplier on-time delivery, inventory health) to enhance daily execution and escalation processes.
Lead efforts in shortage resolution and recovery management, including root cause analysis and corrective actions.
