is on a mission to help engineers build physical products faster.
The problem: engineers designing physical products waste weeks chasing quotes, vetting suppliers, managing freight, fighting with customs, and recovering from late shipments. fixes this by connecting engineers directly with vetted manufacturers (CNC, sheet metal, injection molding, 3D printing) and running the entire supply chain on their behalf - from RFQ to the loading dock.
We're looking for a Logistics Manager to own the physical movement of every part touches - from a CNC shop in Shenzhen to a robotics lab in Boston - and to do it with the commercial instincts of someone who understands that every shipping decision is also a business decision.
This is not a freight-booking role. The right person is part operator, part dealmaker: negotiating rates with forwarders, choosing modes based on time, complexity, and constraints, guiding the trade compliance work our logistics admin executes, and pricing freight back to customers in a way that protects both the deal and the margin.
