The Opportunity

Flexport is building the future of global fulfillment—and we’re looking for a Sr. Manager, Strategic Initiatives who wants to be at the center of that transformation. This is not a traditional management role. You will be the architect of tomorrow’s Flexport Fulfillment network: designing processes, building products, and creating the standards that will define how we operate at scale.

You’ll sit at the intersection of operations, product, and technology, working across all functions to identify gaps, design solutions, and bring them to life. We want someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves solving highly technical problems, and isn’t afraid to get hands-on—whether it’s building a new workflow in SQL, prototyping a tool, or architecting the next phase of our operating model.

If you want to make a lasting impact by building something from the ground up—and have the technical, operational, and strategic chops to do it—this is the role for you.

What You’ll Do

Architect the Future of Fulfillment

• Design, standardize, and codify the processes, products, and tools that will power Flexport’s next generation fulfillment network.
• Define operating models that can scale globally, balancing efficiency, cost, speed, and customer experience.

Build, Not Just Manage

• Own initiatives end-to-end: from diagnosing the problem, designing the solution, building prototypes, and driving implementation.
• Develop tooling, dashboards, and models directly—leveraging SQL, Python, BI platforms, and workflow automation.

Leverage Data for Strategic Planning

• Use data to uncover bottlenecks, quantify opportunities, and make recommendations that drive millions in cost savings and unlock new service capabilities.
• Build forecasting and scenario planning models to guide long-term network design and capacity planning.

Be a Cross-Functional Force Multiplier

• Partner with engineering, product, operations, finance, and commercial teams to align on priorities, build solutions, and scale them across the network.
• Translate operational pain points into product requirements and ensure adoption of new tools and processes.

Standardize the Network

• Establish and roll out SOPs, reporting cadences, and KPIs that become the backbone of Fulfillment execution.
• Drive governance and accountability around execution, ensuring every site runs on the same playbook.

Drive Strategic Initiatives at Scale

• Lead high-impact, white-space projects (automation, robotics, B2B/Retail compliance, international expansion) that redefine the limits of what Flexport Fulfillment can deliver.
• Develop and execute multi-year roadmaps in partnership with senior leadership.

You Should Have

• 7–10+ years of experience in fulfillment, logistics, supply chain, or operations strategy—ideally with direct exposure to high-volume networks.
• Extremely strong technical skillset: SQL (expert), Excel/Google Sheets (advanced), BI tools (Looker, Tableau, PowerBI), and preferably Python or R for modeling and automation.
• A proven record of designing and implementing scalable processes/products that delivered measurable business impact.
• Strong strategic thinking, with the ability to connect day-to-day execution to P&L drivers and long-term vision.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: thrives in ambiguity, comfortable building from scratch, and naturally biased toward action.
• Executive-level communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders across all levels of the organization.
• Bonus: Experience working with robotics, warehouse automation, or building new fulfillment products (B2B, Prep, Returns, Retail compliance).

Why This Role is Different

This role is one of the most independent, entrepreneurial, and impactful within Flexport Fulfillment. You won’t just manage a process—you’ll design and build the future of how we fulfill, scale, and serve customers. Your fingerprints will be on everything from the technology we use to the services we offer.

You’ll have the mandate to experiment, prototype, and standardize at scale—and the support of a leadership team that knows the success of this role will shape the future of Flexport Fulfillment.

• Support troubleshooting and resolution of assembly and integration challenges.
• Collaborate with engineering and production leadership to improve processes and operational efficiency.
• Ensure proper documentation and compliance with spacecraft manufacturing standards.
• Identify, scope, and execute a technical process improvement project to standardize or improve efficiency.

This phase provides early leadership experience managing technical teams responsible for building flight spacecraft hardware.

Phase 3 – Manufacturing Engineer or Automation Engineer

Upon successful completion of the development program, participants transition into a Manufacturing Engineer role supporting spacecraft production and integration.

Responsibilities include:

• Support engineering teams in developing and improving assembly and integration procedures.
• Assist with troubleshooting hardware integration challenges during operations.
• Analyze production processes and identify opportunities for efficiency improvements.
• Support spacecraft integration campaigns and cross-functional engineering efforts.
• Collaborate with design engineers to provide feedback from production operations to improve hardware designs.

Scope  

Ambiq is seeking an experienced Edge AI Applied ML Engineer with deep experience in audio and computer vision. In this role, you will design, train, optimize, and deploy highly efficient on-device AI models—from ultra-small (tens of KB) to larger (hundreds of MB) footprints—targeting resource-constrained, real-time, battery-powered devices.

While the cloud has been the default home for AI, the next frontier is distributing intelligence everywhere—directly onto real-world devices. Edge AI enables real-time responsiveness, stronger privacy, lower bandwidth cost, and reliable operation even without connectivity. This role will help accelerate the shift to on-device intelligence across a rapidly growing ecosystem of health and fitness wearables, smart glasses, industrial IoT, and always-on sensors.

You’ll also help evolve our award-winning open-source AI Development Kits (ADKs): modular tooling that enables developers to mix-and-match datasets, model architectures, tasks, training recipes, and deployment targets. You will bridge cutting-edge research and practical productization by building production-grade demos, reference applications, and customer-facing tooling that accelerates real-world adoption.

Responsibilities 

• Develop and optimize on-device ML models for constrained, real-time, battery-powered products, balancing accuracy with latency, memory, and energy.
• Build and maintain Ambiq’s open-source ADKs for modular datasets, models, tasks, and training recipes.
• Translate cutting-edge research into production-grade demos and reference implementations.
• Apply model efficiency techniques: quantization, compression, pruning, and structured sparsification.
• Serve as a domain expert in audio and vision (data strategy, evaluation, and failure analysis).
• Port and optimize customer models to Ambiq edge runtimes, ensuring correctness, performance, and usability.
• Deliver and promote customer-ready assets: docs, tutorials, examples, benchmarks, plus white papers and conference representation.

Qualifications 

• BS in Computer Science or related field + 5+ years of relevant experience (or equivalent practical experience). MS or PhD in related disciplines (ML, EE, signal processing, computer vision, robotics) is highly desirable.Strong proficiency in Python; working proficiency in C/C++ and/or Rust for performance and runtime integration.
• Domain expertise in audio (KWS, speech enhancement, SLM, TTS) and/or vision (classify/detect/segment/pose/OBB/track), with DSP fundamentals (e.g., FFT).
• Comfortable in Linux development with Docker/dev containers (able to work across Mac/Windows as needed).
• Experience with one or more training frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Keras.
• Strong ML engineering fundamentals: data pipelines, augmentation, metrics, experiment reproducibility, and failure analysis.
• Familiarity with edge deployment stacks such as ONNX, LiteRT, ExecuTorch.
• Hands-on with edge optimization: quantization (PTQ/QAT), compression, and (structured) sparsification, plus profiling for latency/memory/energy tradeoffs.
• Efficient use of AI-assisted development tools while maintaining rigor (testing, review, reproducibility).
