About this role
EV.Careers is currently seeking a full-time Senior Logistics Process Engineer (JIT/JIS) for one of our partners. Our partner is an established player in the electric vehicle manufacturing space, scaling production at a U.S. facility. This role is central to that effort: you'll design and implement the Just-In-Time (JIT) and Just-In-Sequence (JIS) processes that move components and modules from suppliers to the exact point of fit on the assembly line — accurately and on time. You'll own JIT/JIS process and equipment development, optimize end-to-end material flow, partner directly with automotive suppliers, and lead cross-functional teams across logistics, production, planning, and supplier management. For a supply chain professional who wants real ownership in modern EV manufacturing and a fast-paced, high-growth environment, this is a strong opportunity. Responsibilities Plan and develop JIT/JIS processes, concepts, and equipment to ensure timely, accurate delivery of modules from suppliers to the point of fit on the line. Manage and optimize manual and automated material flow from supplier facilities through dock doors and internal logistics to final point of use. Collaborate with JIT/JIS automotive suppliers to resolve delivery and quality issues and keep supply chain operations stable. Align premises and timing requirements in cross-functional teams to integrate automated trailer unloading systems into the overall material flow. Synchronize logistics strategy with product planning so production schedules match material availability. Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams (logistics, production, planning, supplier management) to execute JIT/JIS strategies. Drive continuous improvement to reduce lead times, improve supplier performance, and optimize logistics from origin to final assembly fit. Manage supplier awarding for equipment and coordinate implementation in line with SOP requirements. Requirements Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Engineering, or a related field with an automotive focus (equivalent relevant work experience may be considered in lieu of a degree). Minimum 8 years of experience in supply chain management, logistics, or JIT/JIS process management within the automotive industry (preferred). Experience and knowledge of VDA, ISO, and other automotive industry standards and regulations. Proven experience performing process audits (required). Strong understanding of Change Management principles, including steering and evaluating change requests in automotive environments. Experience with route optimization and traffic management tools/software (e.g., TMS, WMS), JIS logistics, and/or material flow planning. Comprehensive knowledge of compliance requirements (safety, quality, regulatory). Proven ability to lead and coordinate cross-functional teams to execute JIT/JIS logistics strategies. Strong problem-solving skills and ability to optimize complex processes. Effective communication and teamwork skills; able to thrive in a fast-paced, high-tech environment. Preferred Qualifications Experience as a logistics/JIS professional at an automotive OEM. Experience managing the awarding of suppliers for equipment. Experience coordinating implementation in line with SOP (Start of Production) requirements. Benefits Medical, dental, vision, and income protection plans. 401(k) with employer match and immediate vesting. 20 days planned PTO (as accrued). 40 hours unplanned PTO and 14 company/floating holidays annually. Up to 16 weeks paid parental leave for biological and adoptive parents of all genders. Paid leave for bereavement, jury duty, voting time, and military leave. Relocation assistance available.
