About us:

Aevas mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.

Role Overview:

The Senior Global Logistics and Supply Chain Manager will lead the end-to-end design, execution, and optimization of AEVAs global logistics and supply operations spanning trade compliance, inventory systems, logistics, S&OP and fulfillment strategy. This role requires strategic foresight, operational excellence, and strong cross-functional leadership to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of components, subassemblies, and finished goods in a scaling, precision-driven hardware environment.

What you'll do
  • Support global logistics and trade compliance (e.g., USMCA, Incoterms, customs, tariffs).
  • Develop supplier risk tools (lead times, tier-2 visibility, single-source risk).
  • Contribute to logistics strategies for NPI-to-production transitions.
  • Analyze and implement fulfillment models; support 3PL onboarding and performance.
  • Coordinate inbound/outbound logistics with EMS and suppliers, including packaging and labeling standards.
  • Manage freight providers across air, sea, and ground; track cost, delivery, and damage metrics.
  • Maintain ERP inventory data integrity (NetSuite), including BOM accuracy, traceability, and audits.
  • Collaborate with IT/Finance to streamline ERP workflows and minimize manual processes.
  • Build supply chain models to support S&OP and scenario planning (e.g., constrained supply, demand shifts).
  • Improve data visibility through system integrations and real-time tracking.
  • Represent Supply Chain in cross-functional meetings (NPI, planning, engineering).
  • Standardize supplier documentation and packaging requirements.
  • Track and report key metrics (inventory accuracy, fulfillment SLAs, logistics cost/unit).
  • Communicate risks and recommendations clearly; influence decisions with data.
What you have
  • Bachelors degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Business, or related field (Masters preferred).
  • 58+ years of experience in supply chain, logistics, or operations roles within manufacturing, hardware, or high-tech environments.
  • Proven track record supporting global logistics, freight, or trade compliance operations.
  • Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI) and scaling to volume production.
  • Proficient in ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) with hands-on experience in inventory, BOM, and procurement modules.
  • Strong knowledge of international trade regulations, Incoterms, and customs compliance.
  • Skilled in data analysis and scenario modeling using Excel, SQL, or BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).
  • Experience integrating ERP with supplier portals or logistics tracking tools.
  • Familiarity with warehouse management systems (WMS), 3PL operations, and fulfillment workflows.
  • Understanding of supply chain risk management frameworks (e.g., tier-2 visibility, lead time mapping).
  • Familiarity with S&OP processes and supply/demand alignment.
  • Detail-oriented with excellent problem-solving skills in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
  • Effective communicator with ability to translate technical logistics challenges into actionable plans.
Nice to have
  • Experience in LiDAR, semiconductor, automotive, or hardware manufacturing industries.
  • Lean, Six Sigma, APICS/CPIM or PMP certifications are a plus.
