• Manage and track engineering change impacts on material requirements, collaborating with OPMs to ensure smooth transitions.
• Drive recurring operational cadences (weekly readiness reviews, inventory checks, and allocation updates).
• Utilize JIRA and Monday to track and follow through on open issues, ensuring closure and accurate status reporting.
• Support scenario planning by running “what-if” analyses on material availability and demand shifts.
• Partner with OPMs on executive and customer-facing reporting, ensuring data is clean, accurate, and presentation-ready.
• Identify data or process gaps and propose solutions to improve planning accuracy and efficiency.

Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a transportation ecosystem that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient and accessible for all. 

The Supply Chain Operations team at Aurora is looking for a Service & Spares Material Planning Analyst to ensure maximum fleet uptime through strategic inventory management and repair operations. This role is the bridge between hardware reliability and field execution. You will be responsible for managing the end-to-end lifecycle of Aurora hardware - from forecasting spare part needs and designing distribution networks to managing the "reverse logistics" of reworks and repairs. Your goal is to balance high hardware availability with optimized inventory costs to keep our fleet moving.

In this role, you will

• Develop and execute demand forecasts for spare parts to ensure high fleet uptime while minimizing excess inventory carrying costs.
• Support the design of the service network to determine optimal stocking locations (forward-stocking locations vs. central hubs) based on fleet density and lead times.
• Manage the flow of "core" returns; track damaged hardware from the field through the repair/refurbishment cycle and back into usable stock.
• Build and maintain dashboards to track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as Part Availability Rate, Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and Inventory Turns.
• Partner with Field Service Engineering and Reliability teams to adjust stocking levels based on real-world hardware failure rates and engineering change orders.
• Work with procurement to ensure service POs align with fleet expansion plans and historical consumption data.
• Reconcile inventory discrepancies within ERP/MRP systems to ensure "Clear to Service" (CTS) visibility is 100% accurate across all field locations.
• Identify bottlenecks in the return-to-vendor (RTV) process and implement automated workflows for tracking serialized hardware.

 Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, or a related field.
• 3+ years in supply chain or operations, with a specific focus on service parts, aftermarket support, or reverse logistics.
• Strong ERP/MRP experience (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) with a proven track record of managing serialized inventory and repair orders.
• Advanced Excel, Mode, and/or Power BI skills; ability to manage large datasets to identify "bad actor" parts or logistics bottlenecks.
• Thrives in an 80% execution / 20% strategy role—you enjoy solving the daily puzzle of getting a part to a downed vehicle while suggesting ways to automate that process for the future.
• Ability to collaborate with Supply Chain Managers, Field Technicians, and global Procurement teams.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment where fleet priorities can shift daily.

 Desirable Qualifications

• Experience in the Automotive, Aerospace, or Robotics industries.
• Proficiency in visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI) and SQL.
• Knowledge of Six Sigma or Lean methodologies as applied to warehouse and repair operations.

The base salary range for this position is $72,000 - $116,000 per year.  Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future. The successful candidate will also be eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and benefits.
