Supply Chain Engineer

Promaxo is seeking an organized, hands-on Supply Chain Engineer to help scale purchasing, supplier management, and production readiness for our novel MRI-guided intervention technology. You’ll partner closely with New Product Introduction (NPI) and Manufacturing teams to mature processes, qualify suppliers, and ensure parts and assemblies flow on time, at the right quality and cost—inside a fast-moving startup environment.

• Build and maintain purchasing & supplier management processes (from RFQ through PO, receipt, and reconciliation).
• Continuously assess, qualify, and develop suppliers; identify new sources to optimize cost, quality, and lead time.
• Drive supplier quality: implement proactive controls, manage FACAs/SCARs, and lead cost/quality/process improvements.
• Own and maintain multi-level Bills of Materials (BOMs) and associated part metadata.
• Plan, perform, and manage purchasing to meet build schedules; optimize inventory levels vs. production demand.
• Track and report supply-chain KPIs (OTD, PPV, supplier quality metrics) to senior leadership; escalate risks early.
• Lead negotiations and day-to-day supplier interfaces; resolve part availability and fulfillment issues.
• Define and improve internal operations workflows across the broader supply chain and related processes.

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Biomedical, or Electrical Engineering, or a related field such as Supply Chain or Operations Management.
• 3+ years of hands-on supply chain experience within a relevant engineering product company.
• Proven ownership of purchasing and supplier management processes.
• Experience with ERP/MRP systems (e.g., Net Suite, SAP, or equivalent).
• Proficiency in Excel, Power BI, or data analytics tools for supplier performance and cost tracking.
• Demonstrated ability to build/maintain product BOMs, track inventory, and support production schedules.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally in multidisciplinary teams (ideally medical/regulated environments).

• Experience in medical device manufacturing and/or regulated quality environments (e.g., familiarity with ISO 13485, supplier qualification, and documentation best practices).
• Exposure to NPI transitions (prototype → pilot → production) and supplier scaling.
• Understanding of risk management principles (ISO 14971) and supplier controls in regulated manufacturing.
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma principles for continuous improvement.
• Strong documentation discipline and familiarity with engineering change control (ECO/ECR).
• Excellent communication and vendor negotiation skills.
• Data fluency with spreadsheet/ERP tools; ability to automate dashboards or metrics reporting is a plus.
