About the job
About FilicsFilics is reinventing intralogistics with autonomous mobile robots that change how material moves. Our double-runner system makes Filics the first and only AMR that can drive through load carriers such as Euro pallets. That breaks forklift logic and sets a new standard for efficiency. We're a small, hands-on team that solves hard problems with engineering excellence. Leadership goes to those who take initiative and consistently deliver.
The ChallengeOur robots are built from hundreds of components. Many are single-sourced and most aren't under contract yet. As we move from prototypes to serial production, one missing part can stop the whole line. We need a supply chain that knows exactly what we depend on, secures it before it becomes a risk, and holds up as volumes grow, all while production is already running.
Your MissionBuild a robust supply chain from scratch so we can build our robots reliably as we scale. You take full ownership of how we source, secure and manage every component.
- What You'll DoSecure supply: Find our critical dependencies, lock in availability through supplier contracts, and qualify alternatives so no single source can stop us.
- Build the foundation: Set up the ERP and the systems our supply chain runs on, including supplier quality tracking.
- Define quality: Set clear quality criteria for suppliers and components together with engineering.
- Create visibility: Give the assembly team the forward visibility they need to plan builds.
- Inform decisions: Turn supply analysis into input for leadership's volume commitments.
- Drive cost down: Once supply is robust, reduce component prices toward a leaner bill of materials.
- Who You'll Work WithEngineering: owns technical specs and qualifies suppliers and alternative components
- Assembly: depends on reliable supply to plan builds
- Leadership: sets volume commitments based on your analysis
- What You BringSeveral years in supply chain, procurement or sourcing for hardware products (e.g. robotics, automotive, machinery, electronics)
- Proven experience building supply chain structures from the ground up, ideally from prototype to series production
- Hands-on experience setting up or rolling out an ERP system
- A solid grasp of BOMs, component sourcing, supplier qualification and supplier quality
- Strong negotiation skills and experience closing supplier contracts
- A hands-on, structured approach: you prioritize well, work comfortably without defined processes, and deliver
- Clear, concise communication in English
- What We OfferFull ownership of a function you build yourself, with direct impact on getting our robots into series production
- A small, ambitious team where initiative leads to responsibility
- Work on a first-of-its-kind product in intralogistics
- An on-site/hybrid role in Munich, close to engineering and assembly
