Supply Chain Manager at Atoms in San Francisco, CA

Who we are  Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress. Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that. Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive. This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale. We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life. If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.   What you’ll do Support the Head of Supply Chain in building the operating system that enables Atoms to scale from early retrofit builds to thousands of human-driven AV data-collection vehicles, and eventually to large-scale driverless L4 fleet deployment. This role owns day-to-day execution across procurement, logistics, inventory control, VIN-specific kitting, supplier coordination, and part-level traceability. The core mission is to make sure every retrofit vehicle has the right hardware, in the right place, on time, with clean tracking from supplier PO → lot number → serial number → VIN → installer → calibration result → warranty/RMA history. This traceability model is central to the operating plan. Key Responsibilities • Execute day-to-day procurement for sensors, compute, storage, harnesses, racks, brackets, power components, tools, spare parts, and consumables. • Track open POs, supplier ship dates, inbound logistics, receiving status, and delivery risks. • Maintain inventory accuracy for high-value serialized hardware and fast-moving consumables. • Build and manage VIN-specific kits so vehicles enter the retrofit line with complete, pre-verified hardware. • Coordinate line-side replenishment with Vehicle Ops and install technicians to prevent missing-part delays. • Support receiving inspection, serial-number scanning, labeling, storage, cycle counts, and inventory audits. • Manage defective-part quarantine, warranty claims, and RMA follow-up with suppliers. • Maintain supplier trackers, cost trackers, shipment trackers, and inventory dashboards. • Partner with Vehicle Ops and QA to investigate part defects, batch issues, and retrofit blockers. • Help implement lightweight ERP / asset-tracking processes as the fleet scales beyond spreadsheets. Why this is exciting This is a high-impact execution role at the center of Atoms’ fleet scale-up. The Supply Chain Manager will help turn complex AV hardware into a repeatable, trackable, production-ready system. Every improvement in procurement speed, inventory accuracy, kitting discipline, and supplier follow-up directly increases retrofit throughput, vehicle uptime, and data-collection capacity.   What we’re looking for • Required Bachelor’s degree or higher in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, Commerce, or related discipline. • Minimum 3 years of experience in supply chain, logistics, vehicle distribution, or related roles within the automotive industry. • Experience working for an automotive OEM, EV manufacturer, vehicle importer, or automotive distributor. • Proven experience in Vehicle supply chain management, Demand planning and forecasting, Vehicle ordering and allocation, International shipment coordination, Logistics and 3PL management, Inventory and stock pipeline management, Dealer network support, Supplier management and invoice coordination • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage operational challenges.   Why join us At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time—bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist.
