Job description

We’re expanding into enterprise and defense - bringing our obsessive attention to performance, design, and U.S.-based manufacturing into high-stakes environments like search and rescue and military innovation. With several of our products already approved by the Defense Innovation Unit, we’re solving procurement issues for customers who demand speed, agility, and compliance.

If you love working at the intersection of community, content, and cutting-edge technology, you’ll feel right at home here.

Unusual Machines is a U.S.-based drone and drone parts company focused on the small and First-Person View (FPV) segments of the drone market.

  • Build Global Sourcing Strategies: Develop category and supplier strategies for electronics, PCBAs, semiconductors, motors, batteries, mechanical components, optics, and other critical drone hardware.
  • Negotiate Commercial Agreements: Lead negotiations covering price, payment terms, lead times, capacity, minimum order quantities, non-cancellable commitments, warranties, and supply assurance.
  • Build a Resilient Supply Base: Qualify, develop, and diversify suppliers; establish dual-source and contingency plans; and maintain visibility to geopolitical, capacity, financial, and component risks.
