Job description
What you'll do
Giga Energy builds mission-critical power and cooling infrastructure for AI datacenters, including transformers, switchboards, e-houses, and fully integrated AI pods delivered to hyperscaler and utility customers across North America. As Supply Chain Systems Lead, you will be the business process owner for the supply chain inside our ERP. We are implementing NetSuite across the company, and you own what it has to do for materials: how a released bill of material becomes a purchase order, how inventory is counted, how demand becomes a production plan, and how supplier performance gets measured. This is not an ERP administrator role. Finance owns the platform and our implementation partner handles configuration; you own the process, the workflows, the controls, and the data that run through them.
Where you'll work
Velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is based in Houston or Los Angeles with full-time onsite expectations, and travel up to 10 percent to our facilities and suppliers, including Long Beach and Mexico.
Responsibilities
ERP and Business Process Ownership
Own supply chain requirements, workflows, controls, and data inside NetSuite across procurement, inventory, and production planning
Map current-state supply chain process end to end and define the target-state process the ERP must support
Drive supply chain scope through the implementation: requirements definition, configuration review, UAT, cutover, and hypercare
Partner with Finance and the implementation partner on integrations, without owning the enterprise platform or the vendor relationship
Procurement and Purchase Orders
Define the PO process end to end: templates, required specifications, approval thresholds, and release criteria
Standardize what every PO must carry, including part specification, revision, tolerance callouts, incoterms, and lead time
Build requisition-to-PO workflow and the exception paths for expedites and long-lead components
Support contract and pricing record management for direct materials
Master Data Governance
Own item master, vendor master, BOM, and unit-of-measure standards, including naming conventions and approval for new records
Define and enforce data quality rules; run periodic audits and cleanup cycles
Manage consumption of the released engineering BOM and its synchronization into the ERP, including revision handling
Inventory and Material Planning
Own inventory and warehouse workflows across Houston, Long Beach, and our Mexico facility, covering receiving, put-away, cycle count, and physical inventory
Implement material planning: demand signals, reorder points, safety stock, and MRP parameters
Drive system-to-floor inventory accuracy to an agreed tolerance and report against it
Support production planning and capacity views for manufacturing
Supplier Performance
Build supplier performance data from system records: on-time delivery, lead time variance, PO accuracy, and quality escapes in partnership with Quality
Stand up the supplier scorecard and quarterly business review data pack
Provide the sourcing team with spend, lead time, and performance analytics for negotiation and dual-source decisions
Adoption and Reporting
Write work instructions and train procurement, warehouse, and planning teams on the new process
Own supply chain KPIs and the reporting used by operations leadership
Run continuous improvement on process and system as volume ramps
Requirements
Degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience
6+ years in manufacturing supply chain systems and operations
Hands-on experience implementing or materially scaling an ERP in a physical-product business (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Infor, or equivalent), owning the business process rather than configuration
Working knowledge of procurement, material planning, inventory control, and production planning in a manufacturing environment
Experience owning item and vendor master data standards and enforcing them across functions
Experience in a high-growth manufacturing environment where systems and process had to be built while volume ramped
Proficiency with reporting and analysis tools; Excel required, SQL or BI tooling a plus
Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
Bonus points
Power equipment, electrical hardware, industrial equipment, automotive, or semiconductor supply chain experience
NetSuite specifically, including a supply chain or manufacturing module implementation
Experience across a US and China or US and Mexico manufacturing footprint
Familiarity with PLM systems and the engineering-to-procurement handoff
