San Jose, California, United States Noah Medical Full time
Unlocking Excellence in Medical Robotics

Noah Medical, a pioneering force in medical robotics, is seeking an exceptional Sr. Commodity Manager to drive strategic procurement and supply chain excellence.

About the Role

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing assigned commodity categories, developing strategies, and implementing tactics to establish and maintain a world-class supply base that meets Noah's quality, cost, and delivery objectives.

This key role involves organizing BOM components into commodity groups, both short-term and long-term, ensuring new components are aligned with manufacturing processes considering volume projections three or more years ahead.

Cross-functional collaboration with Design Engineering (DE) and Software Engineering (SE) teams is essential for early-stage sourcing and procurement of NPI prototype and pre-production materials.

The Sr. Commodity Manager will manually plan order actions based on engineering-level bills of material, project schedules, MRP, and demand plans. Key responsibilities include securing and analyzing quotations, negotiating prices and terms with suppliers, and recommending suppliers based on cost, quality, and delivery competitiveness.

Ongoing tasks include sourcing custom components through new and existing suppliers; obtaining quotations, placing purchase orders, expediting, and tracking receipts. The role also involves reviewing production build plans for procurement of production components and supplies, monitoring open purchase orders and lead-time, and following up with suppliers as necessary.

Additionally, the Sr. Commodity Manager will escalate supplier-related issues such as material shortages, quality concerns, and cost challenges to the Supplier Engineering team.

Maintaining accurate MRP information and data, as well as ensuring correct usage of the MRP system, is crucial. Performance metrics, including supplier delivery, quality, and cost issues, must be managed and escalated when necessary.

About You

To succeed in this challenging role, applicants should possess a Bachelor's Degree and at least 5+ years of experience in planning and purchasing custom components in a production environment. Experience working with Engineering in a pre-commercial launch environment is highly valued.

A strong understanding of bills of materials, routings, and manufacturing scheduling is required. Proficiency with ERP and PLM systems, as well as advanced Excel skills, is also essential.

A high level of organization and effective communication skills are critical for providing status updates and resolving problems.
