Responsibilities
- - 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.
- - 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

Additional details
- Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
- JOB OVERVIEW 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 standards.
- RESPONSIBILITIES - Own and improve end-to-end tactical supply plans to support NPI builds, production builds, 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.
- - 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.
