The posting

Supply Chain Specialist/ Buyer

Location: Mountain View, CA - Remote Team: Operations

The Impact You’ll Make:

We are looking for a hands-on Buyer to own day-to-day purchasing and logistics for our R&D and prototype builds, and to help scale those processes into mass production. You will run the tactical procure-to-pay (P2P) cycle across direct and indirect categories, from order placement through delivery, receipt, and invoice. This is an execution-focused role for a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced hardware startup.

Key Responsibilities:

Purchasing & P2P

  • Place and manage orders via PO and online purchasing for R&D/NPI builds and, as we ramp, mass production, across direct (components, materials, assemblies) and indirect (tools, equipment, services) categories.
  • Convert BOMs and engineering requests into accurate POs; confirm pricing, quantities, lead times, and delivery dates with suppliers.
  • Track open orders, expedite as needed, and keep stakeholders informed of status, delays, and schedule impacts.
  • Escalate supply risks early and help identify options such as expediting, alternate parts, or new sources.
  • Track supplier on-time delivery and quality issues, and maintain day-to-day supplier relationships.
  • Support new supplier onboarding (W-9s, banking details, insurance, and required documentation) with Accounting and Legal.

Logistics & Import/Export

  • Coordinate domestic and international inbound and outbound shipments with freight forwarders, carriers, customs brokers, and 3PL/4PL partners.
  • Manage logistics provider accounts and relationships with support from Supply Chain and Operations.
  • Prepare and track shipping and import/export documentation (commercial invoices, packing lists, HTS codes, Incoterms).
  • Coordinate deliveries with the onsite team and confirm receipt against POs.

Finance & Process

  • Partner with Accounting on PO setup, PO/receipt/invoice (3-way) matching, and resolving invoice, receiving, and pricing discrepancies.
  • Maintain accurate purchasing records and support spend tracking and month-end accruals.
  • Help build scalable P2P processes, templates, and tools as we move from prototype to production.

The Skills You Bring:

  • 2–4 years of experience in purchasing, buying, procurement, or supply chain coordination, ideally in hardware.
  • Hands-on experience creating and managing POs (both manual and via a P2P system to be implemented down the road).
  • Working knowledge of the full P2P cycle, including 3-way match.
  • Experience coordinating domestic and international shipments with forwarders, carriers, brokers, or 3PLs.
  • Comfort reading BOMs, part numbers, and basic technical specifications.
  • Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills.
  • Organized self-starter who takes ownership and communicates clearly with engineering, operations, product, finance, and legal.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience at a hardware startup and/or in an NPI (prototype-to-production) environment.
  • Energy, solar, or battery storage experience, or comparable categories (electrical, electromechanical, power electronics, enclosures).
  • Familiarity with import compliance, tariffs, and Incoterms.
  • Experience with NetSuite, SAP, or a similar ERP.
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Operations, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • APICS/ASCM (CPIM, CSCP) or ISM (CPSM) certification, or progress toward one.

Benefits and Perks:

  • Competitive Compensation Package
  • Health Insurance: We offer 100% coverage of employee and 75% of dependent premiums under a Gold-level PPO plan. Dental & Vision Insurance: 50% of employee premiums are covered.
  • Retirement Plan: A 401(k) plan with a 6% employer match.

Additional Information:

Minimum salary of $95,000 to maximum salary of $125,000 + equity + benefits.

The range provided is 1AP’s reasonable estimate of the base compensation for this role. The actual amount will be based on job-related and non-discriminatory factors such as location, experience, training, skills, and abilities. Consult with your Recruiter during the initial call to determine a more targeted range based on these job-related factors.

About 1 Arc Power:

At 1st Avenue Power, we 1are on a mission to deliver simple, fast-to-deploy, customer-centric and intelligent power systems leveraging the abundance of solar to provide inexpensive and reliable clean energy to global customers from data centers to energy starved communities around the world. We envision a future where every community, business, and nation thrives on the limitless potential of clean energy, united in a shared commitment to a sustainable and equitable world.

You will be working with Dr. Tom Buttgenbach, one of the most successful clean energy technology innovators and entrepreneurs who has been a driving force in making solar-based energy solutions the cheapest and most reliable energy option. Tom founded and led Avantus (formerly known as “8minute Solar Energy“), to become one of the largest and most profitable solar and energy storage companies in the United States and the largest in California, including delivering over 17% of Los Angeles’ power.

When Tom sold his interest in Avantus’ development business to KKR in mid-2024, it had delivered over $1 billion in profit and secured over $10 Billion in power purchase agreements and project financings with a pipeline of over 30 GW of solar and 90 GWh of energy storage, capable of powering the homes of more than 20 million Americans day and night.

Tom’s family office investment firm, 1st Avenue Capital, is building teams for the next generation of advanced solar power system architecture and AI to aggressively drive down the cost of and equitable access to clean and reliable energy.[1] 1st Avenue’s advanced large scale power systems are addressing the increasing inadequacy of the grid to meet the massively growing power demands of the digital economy, while its intelligent distributed solar utilities are leapfrogging the grid to provide equitable access to inexpensive, clean and reliable power to underserved communities around the world.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
