As a Global Supply Manager
, you’ll lead sourcing strategy and supplier execution across critical categories supporting Mach’s defense systems. You will build and manage supplier networks, develop category strategies, and ensure the timely delivery of high-quality components that power our platforms. This role requires strategic ownership of your domain, close collaboration with engineering and program management, and the ability to scale operations in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment.

Select candidates will provide support for one of the key tracks noted below, and may provide overlapping support as needed based on business needs.

1. Global Supply Manager - Avionics

You’ll oversee sourcing and supplier strategy for avionics systems, electrical components, and embedded hardware. This includes PCBs, sensors, harnesses, and electronic assemblies critical to Mach’s autonomous platforms. Success in this role means building partnerships with technically capable suppliers and ensuring compliance with defense and export regulations while maintaining aggressive timelines.

Focus Areas:

• Avionics, electronics, and electrical subsystems

• PCB and harness manufacturing

• Supplier qualification and contract execution

• Cross-functional alignment with hardware and systems engineering

2. Global Supply Manager - Mechanical

You’ll lead supply chain operations for structural and mechanical systems, including machined components, composites, COTs items, and assemblies. You’ll balance cost, quality, and lead time while ensuring readiness from prototype through production.

Focus Areas:

• Machined and fabricated components

• Composites, hardware, and fuselage assemblies

• Supplier development and performance management

• Strategic sourcing and category optimization

3. Global Supply Manager - Propulsion

You’ll drive the sourcing and supply chain strategy for propulsion systems that power Mach’s autonomous platforms.
