Jobs at DensityAI (Now Hiring) — 27 open

About the role:  

Own all contract-manufacturing procurement and supply for our compute systems — the commercial and operational owner of our CM/ODM relationships. You'll partner with engineering and program management to take complex hardware from prototype to high-volume production. This is a generalist's role across the CM space: you may go deep in one area, but you understand the entire HPC supply chain — from SMT through L11 rack integration — well enough to make smart trade-offs and get the most out of the dominant players.

What You'll Do

• Own the commercial relationship with CMs/ODMs —strategy, negotiation, cost, capacity, and supply continuity
• Negotiate the MSAs, MPAs, NDAs, and SOWs that govern the CM relationship and protect DensityAI commercially
• Pick the right procurement model per program — consignment, directed buy/sell, or turnkey — balancing cost, control, and risk
• Partner across the full NPI lifecycle (EVT/DVT/PVT) to keep builds on schedule, and run supply fundamentals — Clear-to-Build readiness, ABC shortage reports, and BOM/materials risk
• Own procure-to-pay (PO creation, change management, corrective action) with auditable rigor
• Manage CM cost and commercial performance (labor, markup, NRE, tooling, yield/scrap, logistics) to protect margin — and navigate disruption with calm and a plan

HPC SUPPLY CHAIN FLUENCY

What we're looking for:

•  First-hand relationships with the dominant CM/ODM players
• System-level grasp of the HPC supply chain (cooling, backplanes, rack integration, server assembly, power)
• Proven MSA/MPA/NDA/SOW negotiation with CMs/ODMs and a clear grasp of CM commercial models
• Command of supply-chain fundamentals — Clear-to-Build, ABC shortage reports, materials risk and corrective action — plus the procurement actions required at each EVT/DVT/PVT milestone
• Procure-to-pay proficiency and fluency with ERP/MRP/MES/PO systems; comfort with ambiguity
• Took complex electromechanical or data-center hardware from NPI to high-volume production with a CM/ODM (preferred)
• Familiarity with liquid-cooled / high-density compute or data-center infrastructure (preferred)
• Stood up a new CM relationship or transferred a program between manufacturers (preferred)
• Built or improved CTB / shortage-management processes (not just operated within them); business-level Mandarin a plus given the CM landscape (preferred)

Compensation

Final offers depend on level, location, and skills relevant to the role. Additional compensation: equity grant per company guidelines; medical / dental / vision; 401(k); standard PTO.
