Supply Chain Manager

At Aigen, our mission is to regenerate soil at a planetary scale—automated terraforming, with a solar powered robotics platform.

Come make a real world impact at the confluence of cutting edge robotic technology, AI, climate, and agriculture. 52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices, and 60-75% of original soil carbon has been lost in lands used for agriculture (according to the IPCC).

Your role will be to develop the supply chain for our energy efficient autonomous robotics platform. Setup and organize supply chain systems to build at scale. The ideal candidate will be a quick learner with the ability to understand complex systems, and have a creative approach to problem solving.
