We are looking for a Supply Chain Analytics Intern to join our Global Supply Management (GSM) team. In summary, you will own the GSM team's supplier ramp and sourcing readiness toolset as we move from one prototype build to the next, and at the end of your term run the build kickoff readiness review off it.
Responsibilities:
Own the sourcing status tracker: one record per part on the current and next build bills of materials showing awarded supplier, quote status, NDA and master supply agreement (MSA) status, and approved supplier list (ASL) qualification status. Refresh it weekly so GSMs and program management can see which parts have no supplier on paper.
Own the tooling and non-recurring engineering (NRE) tracker: every GSM-owned tooling and NRE purchase orders, with kickoff, T1 sample, first article inspection (FAI), and payment milestone dates tracked against need dates.
Own the build cost baseline and next-build cost targets: normalize quotes across suppliers, roll them up by sub-assembly for the current build, then set targets by sub-assembly for the next build. This becomes the baseline for the team's cost reduction tracking through future builds.
Own the supplier capacity view: committed supplier capacity against the next-build forecast by part and by source, flagging where a supplier cannot meet demand before build kickoff. Support onboarding of new vendors by collecting NDA, MSA, and quality documents for GSM review.
Pull supplier scorecard data for the GSM-run quarterly business reviews (QBRs) and build quote analysis packages that GSMs take into negotiations.
At the end of the term, run the build kickoff readiness review off your toolset and document the handoff so the team can run it without you.
Requirements:
Rising senior or recent graduate in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Operations, Business, or a related field; must be graduating within one year
Available full time for the winter term, January through April 2027 (approximately 16 weeks)
Advanced Excel (Power Query, lookups, pivots) and at least one of SQL or Python for pulling and joining data across systems
Working knowledge of hardware supply chain basics: bills of materials, supplier quotes, purchase orders, and tooling
Clear written communication; able to document a process so someone else can run it
Bonus Qualifications:
Prior internship or co-op in sourcing, procurement, or supply chain at a hardware company
Hands-on experience with an ERP (NetSuite preferred) or a BI tool such as Power BI or Tableau
Exposure to should-cost analysis, quote normalization, or cost reduction tracking on a physical product
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $35 - $40/hr.
The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
