About The Position

We are hiring a Buyer to own the procurement of materials, components, and services that keep our production moving. You will manage supplier relationships, negotiate pricing and terms, drive cost savings, and make sure the right parts are available at the right time. This is not a passive order-placement role — you will actively shape how and where we buy.

Requirements

Prior ERP system experience required.
Strong analytical and organizational skills.
Purchasing or supply chain experience, ideally in aerospace or manufacturing.
Comfortable working in different purchasing systems and spreadsheets.
Strong communicator — able to clearly relay requirements and status between internal teams and suppliers.
Detail-oriented with the persistence to follow up until the job is done.
Thrives in a dynamic environment where priorities can shift daily.
Demonstrates a strong work ethic and ambition, complemented by effective collaboration skills in a team setting.
Excels in a high-energy, independent, and challenging work environment.
Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Nice To Haves

You treat supplier relationships as strategic assets, not just transactional contacts.
You move fast, make decisions with incomplete information, and course-correct without drama.
You'd rather own a problem end-to-end than hand it off.
You're comfortable in a lean, high-accountability environment where bureaucracy is not an excuse for delay.
You want to be part of something that actually matters — and you'll be proud to tell people where you work.

Resolve supply disruptions, shortages, and escalations quickly.
Maintain accurate records of all transactions, purchase orders, and receipts.
