The posting

Unusual Machines is a U.S.-based drone and drone parts company focused on the small and First-Person View (FPV) segments of the drone market. Our brands - Rotor Riot, Fat Shark, Rotor Lab and - coming soon - Upgrade Energy - are some of the most respected names in FPV and have helped shape the industry through e-commerce, product development, and a deep connection with the pilot community.

We’re expanding into enterprise and defense - bringing our obsessive attention to performance, design, and U.S.-based manufacturing into high-stakes environments like search and rescue and military innovation. With several of our products already approved by the Defense Innovation Unit, we’re solving procurement issues for customers who demand speed, agility, and compliance.

If you love working at the intersection of community, content, and cutting-edge technology, you’ll feel right at home here.

You in This Role As a Material Planner at Unusual Machines, you will be responsible for ensuring the right products and materials are available at the right time, in the right quantities, to support both our manufacturing operations and e-commerce/media-driven demand. Sitting at the intersection of purchasing, material planning, and inventory management, you’ll play a critical role in keeping our supply chain running smoothly in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

This role is ideal for someone who is analytical, detail-oriented, and highly organized, but also adaptable and proactive. You thrive in a manufacturing environment while collaborating cross-functionally with suppliers, production, engineering, operations, and marketing teams to align inventory and materials with demand—especially around product launches, production schedules, and content-driven spikes.

A Day in the Life • Reviewing inventory levels and forecasting demand across product lines and production requirements • Planning and procuring materials to support production schedules and customer demand • Creating and managing purchase orders with domestic and international suppliers • Monitoring inbound shipments and adjusting plans based on delays, constraints, or changes • Communicating with vendors on lead times, pricing, and order status • Coordinating with production, engineering, quality, warehouse, and logistics teams • Supporting new product introductions (NPI) by ensuring material readiness • Updating ERP/MRP systems with accurate purchasing, forecasting, and inventory data

What You’ll Do • Manage demand forecasts based on historical data, sales orders, and production schedules • Plan and execute purchase orders to maintain optimal inventory and support manufacturing operations • Analyze material requirements across product lines and ensure alignment with production schedules • Monitor supplier performance, lead times, quality, and order accuracy • Track inbound shipments and proactively resolve delays or supply chain disruptions • Manage supplier relationships including pricing negotiations, delivery schedules, and performance • Optimize inventory turns while minimizing stockouts, shortages, and excess inventory • Identify and mitigate supply chain risks including long lead times and supplier constraints • Partner cross-functionally with production, engineering, marketing, and logistics teams • Identify cost reduction opportunities through supplier negotiation, alternate sourcing, and value engineering • Provide reporting and analysis on purchasing, inventory levels, and supply chain performance • Continuously improve purchasing, planning processes, and system utilization

What You’ll Bring Required: • 5+ years of experience in manufacturing purchasing, materials planning, and/or supply chain roles • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, forecasts, and production requirements • Experience with inventory planning, forecasting, and purchase order management and building strong supplier relationships • Proficiency in ERP or MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Epicor, or similar) • Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, lookups, data analysis) • Strong understanding of inventory planning concepts (safety stock, reorder points, demand planning) • Excellent communication skills, attention to detail and supplier coordination abilities • Ability to manage multiple SKUs, suppliers, and priorities in a fast-paced environment • Strong communication skills and supplier coordination abilities

Preferred: • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Operations, or related field (or equivalent experience) • Experience in consumer electronics, hardware, or e-commerce manufacturing environments • Understanding of international sourcing, logistics, and supplier networks • Familiarity with lean manufacturing and supply chain best practices • Experience in high-growth or startup environments • Interest in drones, robotics, or emerging technology

What You’ll Gain • Direct impact on product availability, production continuity, and revenue performance • Exposure to a fast-scaling supply chain across manufacturing, hardware, and media-driven business models • Collaboration with cross-functional teams including production, engineering, operations, marketing, and finance • Opportunities to improve and scale planning, purchasing, and supplier management processes • A dynamic environment where data-driven decisions drive real business outcomes

You’ll work closely with Operations, Supply Chain, Production, Engineering, Marketing, and Finance teams, ensuring Unusual Machines maintains the right materials and inventory to meet demand, support production schedules, and drive continued growth.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
