We are seeking a Materials Planning Lead to drive end-to-end material readiness across NPI prototype builds and volume manufacturing transitions. Sitting at the intersection of hardware engineering, supply chain, and contract manufacturers, you will manage complex consigned and turnkey supply chains, mitigate E&O exposure, and leverage data analytics to ensure seamless execution from initial build through mass production.

Lunar Energy was founded to transition homes to 100% clean energy-making our electricity greener, our air cleaner and our energy more safe, secure and reliable for all. We're a fast-growing, global company building the world's best clean energy products to electrify all homes and connect communities to form clean, resilient virtual power plants.

On a given day at Lunar, you'll likely...

• Direct material requirements planning and kitting for engineering prototypes across Proto, EVT, DVT and PVT builds
• Track material clear-to-build status across tier-1 and tier-2 contract manufacturers, and manage consigned component pipelines to prevent line-down events
• Partner with hardware engineering to assess how design changes affect materials, and manage revision roll-overs so we avoid scrap during active builds
• Model demand scenarios, including swings of 30% up or down, to size material buffers correctly without tying up unnecessary working capital
• Watch manufacturing yield and scrap rates across our build partners, and adjust reorder points to match
• Build and maintain real-time dashboards that show clear-to-build status, component shortages, vendor lead times and inventory turns
• Lead weekly material review boards, flag part shortages early with clear options for resolving them, and hold suppliers and manufacturers accountable to their commitments

Desired Skills

• Bachelor's degree in supply chain management, industrial engineering, operations research, or a related quantitative field
• 5+ years of experience in materials planning, NPI supply chain, or hardware manufacturing operations, spanning both internal prototype builds and outsourced contract manufacturing
• Direct experience managing consigned materials, inventory reconciliation, and manufacturer liabilities
• Strong proficiency with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) and BI tools (PowerBI, Tableau, Looker), plus advanced Excel and data-modelling skills
• A sharp analytical mind paired with the judgement to balance material availability against financial exposure
• A master's degree in operations research, supply chain analytics, or engineering management, and certifications such as APICS CSCP, CPIM or ISM CPSM, are a plus
• Experience with PLM tools (Arena, Agile, Omnify) and scripting languages (Python, SQL, R) for supply chain automation is a bonus
