The posting

About Amprius

Amprius Technologies (NYSE: AMPX) is a leader in high-energy, high-power lithium-ion batteries built on silicon anode technology. Our SiCore® and SiMaxx™ cells power unmanned aerial systems, aviation and other applications where weight and energy density matter most. Headquartered in Fremont, California, Amprius designs cells in house and produces them through a global network of contract manufacturing partners.

The role

We are looking for a Head of Supply Chain to build and lead the team that sources our cell materials, manages our contract manufacturers (CMs) and controls the landed cost of every cell we ship. You will turn a lean team into a scalable organization, set the supply strategy for current and next-generation products, and make sure our supply base is resilient, compliant and cost-competitive as volumes grow. Reporting to Managing Director, Operations.

What you will do

Supply strategy and suppliers

• Own the sourcing strategy for all direct cell materials (anode, cathode, electrolyte, separator, packaging and mechanical parts).

• Run competitive RFQs and keep a documented roadmap with every critical supplier, aligned with Engineering BOMs and demand volumes.

• Negotiate and execute long-term supply agreements (LTSAs) and pricing agreements covering most material spend.

• Qualify second sources for critical materials and maintain business continuity plans for any remaining single-source parts.

• Make sure suppliers on government and defense programs meet NDAA and related sourcing requirements.

Contract manufacturers

• Manage our global CM network: roadmaps, quarterly business reviews and performance against agreed cost, yield and delivery.

• Identify, audit and qualify new CMs to add capacity and geographic diversity.

• Negotiate CM agreements that define the business model, costs and schedules, and how they change over time.

• Partner with R&D and the Fremont pilot line to transfer new cell designs into CM production.

• Build and present a capacity and geography plan that covers the 1-year and quarterly demand forecast.

Cost

• Own the landed cell cost roadmap: CM costs, materials, freight, tariffs and duties.

• Lead cost-reduction programs with suppliers and CMs, with priority on programs that are not yet profitable.

• Build a tariff and duty mitigation strategy with Finance and Legal.

Team and systems

• Hire, develop and retain a high-performing supply chain team, with clear ownership and backup coverage.

• Work with Quality on supplier and CM scorecards and corrective actions, and represent Supply Chain in the PLM and change control rollout.

Requirements

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, supply chain, business or a related field.

• 12+ years in supply chain, sourcing or procurement for manufactured hardware, including 5+ years leading teams.

• Direct experience managing contract manufacturers through qualification, ramp and volume production.

• Track record negotiating long-term supply and manufacturing agreements.

• Strong cost analysis skills: should-cost models, landed cost, tariffs and duties.

• Experience managing suppliers in Asia.

• Travel: 30% including Asia and Europe

Nice to have

• Lithium-ion cells, batteries strongly preferred or other materials-intensive manufacturing.

• Aerospace or defense supply chains (AS9100, NDAA, DFARS, ITAR).

• Experience building a supply chain function at a scaling company; MBA, ASCM or ISM certification a plus.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive compensation package includes base salary. Salary range for this role is X to X. Base salary will be determined based on knowledge, experience, and education.
  • Health benefits include medical, dental and vision coverage. Medical options of HMO and PPO plans.
  • Employer-funded Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). HSA compatible Medical Plan, FSA Options.
  • Pet Health Insurance (dog & cats).
  • Traditional and Roth 40l(k) Plans.
  • Generous vacation leave starts with 3 weeks annual accrual. 10 paid holidays. Sick time off.
  • Cell phone reimbursement.

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.
