At Rhoda AI, we're building the full-stack foundation for the next generation of humanoid robots — from high-performance, software-defined hardware to the foundational models and video world models that control it. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling scenarios unseen in training. We work at the intersection of large-scale learning, robotics, and systems, with a research team that includes researchers from Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, and beyond. We're not building a feature; we're building a new computing platform for physical work — and with over $400M raised, we're investing aggressively in the R&D, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make that a reality.
We are looking for someone who thrives in a schedule-driven NPI environment and is comfortable operating with partial information and making quick decisions — landing hardware on immovable bring-up and build dates. This role reports directly to the Head of Supply Chain.
What You'll Do
Drive daily actions to clear shortages, expedite with suppliers, and protect integration timelines
Reduce total cost, lead time, and risk
Convert purchase requests to purchase orders and follow POs through delivery and payment
Track on-time delivery and maintain reporting records
Onboard vendors and process invoices and payments with accounting
Maintain purchase status records and reporting
What We're Looking For
1–3 years of purchasing or procurement experience, ideally in a fast-paced startup environment
Strong execution under pressure with clear written and verbal communication, reliable follow-through, and the judgment to escalate early to protect schedule
Comfortable executing while building structure and processes from scratch
Background in consumer, mobility, or medical device industries
Nice to Have (But Not Required)
Why This Role
Supply chain is a core competitive advantage in hardware — this role sits at the center of NPI execution with direct visibility into how the robot gets built
High ownership in a fast-moving environment where your decisions have real, immediate consequences on whether hardware lands on time
See your work come to life on real humanoid robots being deployed in the world
