Description
ABOUT US
Reframe Systems is a Physical AI and robotics company on a mission to make high-performance housing attainable and abundant in the communities where people want to live. Through our vertically integrated delivery model and highly automated microfactories, we deliver climate-resilient homes and buildings with greater speed and predictability than traditional construction.
Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes adaptable to each site, community, and customer need. Our cross-disciplinary team brings together architecture, robotics, design engineering, software, factory operations, and field delivery to change how housing gets delivered.
We’re reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better. Come build it with us.
THE ROLE
We’re hiring a Construction Materials Procurement & Supply Chain Lead to own the flow of materials from design decision to installation, across both the factory and the field.
This is a player–coach role. You will roll up your sleeves to run a lot of the day‑to‑day work (RFQs, POs, expedites, supplier management) for active single- and multi-family residential projects. In parallel, design the simple, reliable procurement and inventory system that future projects and factories can run on.
REQUIREMENTS
- Make sure materials never stall the schedule
- Own material availability for both factory and jobsite, from permit set through installation.
- Build and run a clear playbook for long‑lead items so projects are not delayed by materials.
- Reduce stockouts in kitting and on the floor by setting and managing min/max levels and reorder logic for stocked parts.
- Build the procurement & inventory “operating system”
- Turn today’s bill of materials, purchase logs, and ad‑hoc processes into a documented, teachable process that goes from permit set → BOM → RFQs → POs → receiving → kitting → project closeout.
- Consult with software and finance teams on our bill of materials and materials data standards: part numbering, stock vs off‑the‑shelf rules, and how BOMs must be structured to be procurable and traceable.
- Stand up a simple but robust inventory tracking approach using Google Sheets + QuickBooks + existing tools, and use it as the basis for future ERP / WMS requirements.
- Lead supplier strategy for construction materials
- Source and manage suppliers for structural lumber, sheathing, windows, doors, cabinets, MEP equipment, finishes, and other construction materials – for both factory and field.
- Negotiate pricing, terms, and programs; launch 2–3 strategic supplier relationships in high‑impact categories (e.g., windows, cabinets, structural lumber).
- Decide when to buy‑to‑job versus buy‑to‑stock, balancing cash, space, and risk.
- Be embedded with designers, engineers, and operations
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to connect material choices to cost, lead‑time, installation effort, and supply‑risk.
- Propose and analyze material alternatives and supplier options; co‑decide on changes that affect building systems, permitting, or installation.
- Partner with Factory Operations, Production, and Site Operations to ensure material plans actually work on the floor and on site.
- Shape our future systems
- Translate real‑world workflows into clear requirements for a future ERP / WMS, in partnership with Software Teams and Finance.
- Act as the primary operational stakeholder when we evaluate and implement more advanced systems in the next 1–2 years.
