Job description
Open role
NPI Buyer & Materials Planner
Our mission
AI is becoming fundamental to how the world works. When it is, the ability to compute, and to manufacture the hardware that computes, should not be concentrated in a few places. Touchdown's mission is to make compute accessible to the whole world and to reindustrialize advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. We co-design everything for next-generation compute: the AI systems people use, the software that serves them, the architectures and chips underneath, and the packaging, test, and manufacturing that make them real. Co-design brings down the complexity and cost of building compute. That is what makes manufacturing in America competitive again, and what puts compute within reach of people and companies everywhere. We build alongside the world's best manufacturing ecosystems, including Taiwan's, and every role here makes one layer better and carries what it learns to the rest.
Why this role matters
Fast iteration needs materials on time. Planning and purchasing keep engineering builds moving without stoppages.
Technical scope
Bill-of-materials to demand planning; purchase orders and expediting; shortage tracking and escalation; inventory accuracy and traceability; ERP workflows; coordination with engineering and suppliers.
First 90 days
Applications are reviewed against the work described here. We do not use a degree, title, or keyword list as a substitute for evidence.
