Supply Chain Manager

About the role

nEye.ai, a well-funded optical switch startup, is poised to revolutionize the future of data centers. nEye's MEMS-based silicon photonics optical circuit switches (OCS) eliminate critical bottlenecks in AI processing by enabling direct optical connections among thousands of GPUs and memory units. The company's OCS is an ultra-low power consumption, high radix, compact chip-scale design, offering hyperscale data centers enhanced performance, efficiency, and scalability. Role Overview This is a foundational, hands-on role responsible for architecting nEye's end-to-end supply chain. You will own vendor engagement, materials planning, forecasting, inventory, logistics, and act as the business owner for the rollout of critical operational systems (ERP, MES, PLM/ECC).
