- Solid foundational understanding of modern server system architectures, enterprise hardware components (compute, memory, storage topologies), and typical data center power/space variables
- Advanced proficiency in building forecasting sheets, predictive inventory models, or mathematical optimization models to parse hardware lead times and deployment risks
- Proven ability to distill complex engineering designs into clear supply requirements for vendors and procurement partners, and vice versa
- Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Operations, Operations Research, Management Science, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent quantitative discipline

**Bonus Points**
- Direct experience managing supply constraints and vendor pipelines specifically for high-performance AI infrastructure (e.g., NVIDIA accelerated platforms and specialized networking frameworks)
- Experience defining, building, or implementing custom Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integrations or automated hardware asset management software workflows
- A strong passion for clean energy, data center power grid optimizations, and driving structural sustainability in the tech sector
