We are looking for a Supply Chain Planner II to manage and optimize the flow of materials,
components, and information for our autonomous surface vessels. This individual will play a critical
role in forecasting demand, managing inventory levels, and supporting production, NPI, and/or non-
steady state operations. You will partner closely with engineering, procurement, program
management, and suppliers to ensure material readiness while balancing cost, risk, and schedule in
dynamic environments. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for maintaining our
supply chain's integrity, meeting deadlines, and ensuring compliance with DoD regulations and

and/or off-nominal builds.- Translate engineering demand, build schedules, and program milestones into executable
material requirements within ERP/MRP systems, ensuring system-driven visibility and
control.- Optimize factory planning parameters (lead times, lot sizes, safety stock, planning fences,
reorder strategies) to improve material flow, reduce shortages, and support rapid design
iteration.- Drive BOM maturity and change management execution by assessing material impact of
ECOs, managing cut-ins/cut-outs, and minimizing excess and obsolete exposure.- Identify and mitigate material readiness risks related to design instability, supplier capacity
constraints, long-lead components, and quality performance through structured risk registers
and recovery plans.- Ensure accurate master data governance (BOMs, routings, planning attributes, supplier
parameters) to enable reliable MRP outputs and production readiness signals.- Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Procurement to
align supply execution with build plans, capacity constraints, and program priorities.- Establish and monitor material readiness metrics (shortage tracking, kit completeness, on-
time-to-build, supplier OTD, inventory health) to drive daily execution and escalation.- Lead shortage resolution and recovery management, including root cause analysis, systemic
corrective actions, and supplier coordination to protect build schedules.- Develop and implement supply planning processes, workflows, and system utilization to
improve repeatability, scalability, and factory throughput.- Analyze supply chain performance data to identify systemic bottlenecks and implement
process improvements that balance speed, cost, inventory exposure, and risk.- Ensure compliance with DoD program requirements, audit readiness, and traceability standards through disciplined documentation and system controls
Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or a related
field (preferred).- 5+ years of experience in supply chain planning or management, ideally in a

related manufacturing (preferred).- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to collaborate
effectively with internal teams and external suppliers.- Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to meet deadlines.
