Job Description

As a Materials Planning Manager, you will own the end-to-end materials planning function that ensures uninterrupted production of Figure’s humanoid systems. You will be the critical link between demand planning and physical production, using MRP principles to drive inventory accuracy, manage shortages, and support aggressive build schedules. This role blends deep analytical work with hands-on execution and cross-functional leadership. You will work closely with Manufacturing, NPI, Global Supply Management, Logistics, and Warehousing to maintain clear-to-build readiness in a fast-moving, hardware-centric environment.

Job Responsibility

  • Materials & Demand Planning: Own demand planning at the module level, translating build plans into executable material requirements. Maintain and govern the master demand file, ensuring accuracy between planned vs. actual builds. Analyze manufacturing yield rates and consumption trends to refine demand signals
  • Inventory Management & Optimization: Monitor inventory levels, turns, and consumption rates to prevent stockouts and excess inventory. Drive inventory optimization strategies aligned with production ramps and engineering changes. Serve as Part Request Approval owner, ensuring alignment with demand and inventory strategy
  • Clear-to-Build (CTB) Ownership: Own daily Clear-to-Build (CTB) reporting. Partner closely with Manufacturing to ensure material readiness for the production floor. Proactively identify and resolve material constraints impacting build schedules
  • Materials Execution: Oversee materials management activities including PO releases, ETA tracking, and inventory accuracy/reconciliation. Support tactical purchasing to mitigate shortages and expedite critical components
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Warehousing, Logistics, and Global Supply Management to track supplier delivery performance and resolve shipping, receiving, and inventory discrepancies. Support executive-level presentations with clear, data-driven insights
  • Process Improvement: Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the planning cycle. Propose and implement process improvements to increase planning accuracy, service levels, and scalability

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or a related field
  • 5–7 years of experience in materials planning, inventory management, or supply chain operations
  • Experience in a high-volume manufacturing or complex hardware environment
  • Strong proficiency with ERP/MRP systems (SAP or Oracle preferred)
  • Advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, demand modeling)
  • Strong analytical mindset with exceptional attention to detail and ability to identify trends in part consumption
  • Proven adaptability in fast-paced, rapidly changing environments

Nice to have

  • Master’s degree in Engineering or Supply Chain Management
  • Experience in robotics or other high-tech, fast-paced hardware industries
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights for Manufacturing and NPI teams
