About the role
What we're looking for
We need someone with 3–10 years of experience at the intersection of manufacturing, supply chain, and product management who can own our supply chain vertical end-to-end. You should be comfortable on factory floors, talking to procurement leads and supply chain directors, and translating complex operational workflows into elegant software solutions. Bonus points if you have a software engineering background and can build prototypes with AI tools.
What you'll do:
-
Own the supply chain product roadmap — define and drive strategy for procurement, inventory management, traceability, vendor management, and BOM/MRP modules within the ION Factory OS platform
-
Go boots-on-the-ground with customers — visit factory floors, sit with supply chain directors and procurement leads, and deeply understand their operational pain points to inform product decisions
-
Bridge domain expertise and technical delivery — translate complex hardware supply chain logic into clear specs, wireframes, and functional prototypes, working hand-in-hand with engineering to ship fast
-
Build with your own hands — leverage AI-assisted tools to rapidly prototype solutions, run data queries, navigate APIs, and occasionally push code alongside the engineering team
-
Drive cross-functional alignment — collaborate with engineering, design, customer success, and sales to ensure supply chain features deliver measurable ROI and seamless customer onboarding
-
Champion data-driven iteration — analyze inventory flow metrics, user behavior, and customer feedback to validate hypotheses, measure feature impact, and continuously improve outcomes
About First Resonance
First Resonance is a Series A-backed software company (founded 2019, $34M+ raised from investors including Craft Ventures, Emerson, Third Prime, Blue Bear Capital, and Fortitude Ventures) building the ION Factory OS — the leading operating system for modern manufacturers. ION gives hardware companies of every size a flexible, API-first platform to manage day-to-day factory operations, from production workflows and parts tracking to supply chain procurement and quality control. Their customers are building some of the most ambitious physical products on the planet: micro nuclear reactors, next-generation eVTOLs, space rockets, autonomous vehicles, robotic farms, and more — and collectively, those customers raised over $10 billion in the past year alone, a testament to the momentum in the advanced manufacturing space. First Resonance is on a mission to re-industrialize America by empowering engineers, operators, and managers with the tools they need to push the boundaries of the physical world.
The team (~50 people, headquartered in Los Angeles, CA) is AI-native in how they build software, and they're rapidly scaling their Forward Deployed Engineering function — growing from 1 to 6 FDEs in under a year and targeting 10+ — as a core driver of customer stickiness and revenue growth. The culture is startup-through-and-through: fast-paced, mission-driven, and deeply connected to the cutting-edge industries they serve.
