** Drive the supply chain behind the world’s most advanced robots.
** At Boston Dynamics, we’re redefining what robots can do—and our supply chain is a critical enabler of that innovation. We are seeking a
** Supply Chain Program Manager
** to lead and drive end-to-end supply chain execution for new product introductions (NPI) and major program changes across our advanced robotics platforms.

Reporting to the
** Director, Global Supply Chain**, this role serves as the central operational bridge between Engineering, Product Management, Global Supply Managers (GSMs), and suppliers. You will ensure that next-generation hardware platforms are launched on time, within budget, and built for scalable manufacturing.  ##
** What You’ll Do**
* ** Program & Sourcing Leadership:
** Drive end-to-end supply chain readiness and NPI sourcing execution for key robotics programs from early development through production scale.
* *
* Cross-Functional Collaboration:

** Partner closely with Engineering, Product Management, Quality, and Operations to align supply chain capabilities with program milestones and product architecture.
* ** GSM & Supplier Integration:
** Work alongside Global Supply Managers (GSMs) to coordinate early supplier engagement, component selection, contract execution, and supplier readiness.
* ** Risk & Schedule Management:
** Proactively identify, track, and mitigate supply chain risks—including lead time delays, technical readiness, capacity bottlenecks, and geopolitical factors—before they impact program schedules.
* ** Cost Target Ownership:
** Partner with GSMs and Product Cost Management (PCM) teams to manage BOM cost targets, review cost estimation models, and track total cost of ownership (TCO) across program life cycles.
* ** Design for Supply Chain:
** Participate in engineering design reviews to provide guidance on supplier capabilities, component availability, manufacturability, and cost constraints.
* ** Process Excellence:
** Build, standardize, and refine NPI sourcing playbooks, program tracking templates, and milestone readiness frameworks across the supply chain org.  ##
** Why This Role Matters
** You will serve as the connective tissue between cutting-edge engineering concepts and physical production execution. By ensuring program readiness for complex robotic systems, your leadership directly enables Boston Dynamics to move revolutionary hardware from R&D into commercial, logistics, and industrial deployment at scale.  ##
** What You Bring
*** Strong background in supply chain program management, NPI sourcing, or operations program management within hardware development.
* Experience operating in fast-paced environments with high-complexity, low-to-medium volume, or customized electromechanical/robotics platforms.
* Proven capability to lead cross-functional initiatives, manage complex project schedules, and influence stakeholders across technical and business functions.
* Deep familiarity with NPI product development life cycles, BOM cost tracking, supplier readiness reviews, and risk mitigation strategies.
* Exceptional organizational, analytical, and communication skills with the ability to manage multiple competing priorities independently.  ##
** Qualifications
* ** Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
* 5+ years of progressive experience in sourcing, procurement, or supply chain program management focused on new product development.
* Demonstrated success in manufacturing, hardware, or complex electromechanical engineering environments.
* Working knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, or modern project management methodologies preferred.  ##
** Location & Operational Requirements**
* ** Onsite Expectation:
** Ability to work onsite 4 days per…
