Information Technology Tourism Jobs in Berkeley

Director of Supply Chain

Location: San Francisco, CA (On-site / Hybrid)

Company: Anode Technology Company

About Us

Anode exists to accelerate the monumental shift away from the supersystem of extraction, processing, and burning of fossil fuels—toward lightweight capture and consumption from entirely renewable sources. We’re building scalable, silent, flexible, and efficient mobile energy infrastructure to power the zero-emission future. Our mobile battery energy storage systems (mBESS) represent a new category of clean, deployable power.

Position Overview

Anode is seeking its first Director of Supply Chain to establish the foundation of our sourcing, procurement, and cost-management disciplines. This is a hands-on, high-ownership individual contributor role that will evolve into a leadership position as Anode transitions from low-volume prototype builds to serialized production in 2027.

You will manage procurement activities spanning rapid prototype component sourcing to multi-million-dollar supply agreements with OEM partners. You will build and maintain the manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM), establish supplier relationships, and ensure that realized and projected costs are clear, traceable, and actionable. A critical near-term priority is developing a contract manufacturing partnership in 2026 to support Anode’s path to high-volume manufacturing. As our organization scales, you will shape sourcing strategies, supplier relationships, and manufacturing partnerships—laying the groundwork for a supply chain that can grow with the company.

Key Responsibilities

• Contract Manufacturing Partnership: Lead the evaluation, selection, and onboarding of a contract manufacturing partner in 2026 to support both low-volume prototype production and future high-volume serialized manufacturing. Define technical requirements, establish quality standards, and structure partnerships that can scale with product demand.
• Supplier Development & Management: Develop and manage a diverse supplier base spanning local fabricators, component distributors, and major OEM partners. Negotiate terms, monitor performance, and maintain trusted relationships that balance cost, quality, and delivery schedule.
• Cost Management & MBOM Ownership: Build and maintain organized, accurate manufacturing bills of materials that reflect both realized prototype costs and projected production costs. Work with engineering teams to capture design changes and ensure cost implications are visible and tracked.
• Strategic Sourcing & Risk Mitigation: Navigate evolving tariffs, supply disruptions, and regional manufacturing dynamics. Identify alternate sources, evaluate total cost of ownership, and develop long-term sourcing strategies that balance cost competitiveness with supply chain resilience.
• Procurement Execution: Own day-to-day purchasing activities across mechanical, electrical, and system components—driving competitive quotes, placing orders, and ensuring timely delivery to support rapid hardware iteration and prototype builds.
• Operational Foundation: Establish scalable supply chain processes, documentation practices, and cost-modeling frameworks that will support the transition to serialized production—creating systems and standards that can mature with the company.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to translate design requirements into sourcing strategies, manage component lead times, and resolve supply-related technical or schedule challenges.

Qualifications

Must Have:

• 7+ years of experience in supply chain, sourcing, or procurement roles within hardware or manufacturing environments
• Proven ability to operate both tactically and strategically—comfortable managing immediate procurement needs while building long-term sourcing plans
• Demonstrated success managing complex supplier bases across varied component categories and price points
• Experience with cost tracking, BOM maintenance, and supplier negotiations for electromechanical systems
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and bills of materials; comfortable engaging directly with engineers to clarify requirements
• Strong organizational, communication, and project management skills in fast-paced, early-stage environments

Preferred:

• Experience evaluating, selecting, and onboarding contract manufacturers for electromechanical or energy systems
• Background in energy storage, electric vehicles, heavy equipment, or other electrified hardware systems
• Experience scaling manufacturing operations from prototype to low-volume and high-volume production
• Understanding of contract manufacturing models, quality systems (ISO, AS9100, etc.), and supplier qualification processes
• Familiarity with tariff impacts, regional sourcing strategies, and cost-reduction methodologies
• Experience with ERP or PLM systems for BOM and procurement management

Why This Role Matters

As Anode's first supply chain hire, you will define how we source, procure, and cost-manage the components that power our mobile energy systems. Your work will enable engineering and manufacturing teams to move quickly and confidently—turning design intent into reliable, cost-effective hardware. This is a foundational role that will directly shape our operational capabilities and our ability to scale from prototype to production.

The Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation in the College of Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, is seeking qualified temporary instructors to teach undergraduate courses, graduate courses, and/or special topics workshops should an opening arise in the Fall and Spring semesters, or for the Summer term. Applicants should accurately list their specializations so they can be properly evaluated as course needs arise; the existence of this pool does not guarantee that a position is available.

Lecturers supervise student design projects, give lectures, prepare assignments and project topics & deliverables, hold regular office hours, prepare exams or hold reviews, give design advice, and submit final grades.

In addition to lecturers, we also seek Teacher Special Programs (TSP) instructors, should an opening arise. The TSP's principal responsibilities can range from teaching a short course, providing a lecturer with industry expertise, participating in design critiques during a course, teaching at Jacobs Institute boot camps or workshops, or contributing to major curriculum development.

About the Jacobs Institute: Made possible by a $20-million commitment from the Paul and Stacy Jacobs Foundation, the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation is UC Berkeley's interdisciplinary hub for learning and making at the intersection of design and technology. We see design and emerging technologies as integrally linked: technology opens possibilities and extends the reach of design, while design links new technologies with human experiences and ensures that innovation truly benefits people and communities. Bringing together technical depth, design methodology, and a focus on societal impact, we aim to educate students who understand both the under-the-hood details that make something work and the big-picture context that makes something matter. We accomplish these goals through a suite of offerings that include curricular, co-curricular and public programs.

Core programs within the Jacobs Institute include:

• 
  
• A professional Master of Design (MDes) degree, offered jointly by the College of
  Engineering and College of Environmental Design;
  
• The Berkeley Certificate in Design Innovation, an undergraduate certificate
  offered in partnership with the Haas School of Business, College of Letters & Science, and College of Environmental Design;
