Supply Chain Lead - Dallas

Isembard is building a network of high-performance factories for critical industries. We combine advanced machine tools, robotics and our own software, MasonOS, to make precision components for aerospace, defense, energy and frontier technology companies, with factories across the US, UK, Germany and France. Our mission is to forge industrial acceleration.

We are looking for a hands-on Supply Chain Lead to own day-to-day supply chain execution at our Dallas factory and to develop the supplier base our network depends on.

You will connect purchasing, material planning, supplier delivery, outside processing and factory priorities so the team can deliver on customer commitments. It is a working leadership role: you solve urgent supply issues, set clear routines and keep aerospace-level discipline without unnecessary bureaucracy.

• Lead daily procurement and material readiness: prioritize purchasing, resolve shortages and align supply with the production schedule.

• Own supplier delivery: confirm orders, track milestones, expedite at-risk material and recover before customer delivery is affected.

• Coordinate purchasing of aerospace-grade raw material, tooling, components and outside processes such as heat treatment, anodizing, plating and coating.

• Make sure purchase orders flow down drawings, revisions, specifications, quality clauses, certifications and traceability requirements.

• Develop the supplier base: find gaps in capability, capacity and coverage, reduce single-source dependencies and bring on qualified new sources with Supplier Quality.

• Keep purchasing and supplier data accurate in our systems, and track supplier on-time delivery, material availability and cost.

• Support supplier negotiations and network-wide sourcing within delegated authority.

• Five or more years in supply chain, purchasing or materials management in manufacturing.

• Proven ability to manage suppliers, shortages and competing production demands.

• Working knowledge of manufacturing drawings, material specifications, outside processing and technical purchase order requirements.

• Familiarity with ISO 9001, AS9100 or a comparable quality system, including traceability and certification requirements.

• Experience with ERP/MRP systems and supplier performance tracking.

• Strong communication, negotiation and practical leadership.

• Aerospace, defense or precision CNC machining.

• Aerospace materials, special processes and NADCAP.

• Exposure to AS9120, DFARS, ITAR or EAR.

• CPSM, APICS/ASCM or a related qualification.

• Shape how supply chain execution works at a fast-growing precision manufacturer.

• Visible impact on factory performance and customer delivery.

• Competitive salary and equity.

• Medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company match, paid time off and parental leave, Wellhub gym and wellness membership, and a stocked kitchen at the factory.

Location: On-site at our Dallas-Fort Worth factory in Carrollton, TX.
