If you combine supply chain and planning experience with an understanding of electronics and the ability to thrive and excel in an evolving, high-growth environment, the role of master planner offers you some compelling opportunities. You will:
  • Make an impact in a new role as you drive the planning function and help us build capacity to scale as we grow. We're anticipating 200% to 300% growth in the near future.
  • Expand your skills and experience as you wear a variety of hats, work with stakeholders across the organization, and move materials all over the world.

  • Enjoy a competitive salary and strong benefits, including stock options
While all startups come with a degree of risk, with the technology, investor base and extraordinary team we've put in place, Menlo Micro is already establishing a strong track record of success and a promising future.

Headquartered in Irvine, California, Menlo Micro is a spin-off from GE Global Research that is leveraging more than 10-years of R&D and GE's proven Digital-Micro-Switch (DMS) technology to create a scalable product development platform that drives disruptive shifts in digitally controlled, RF, smart, high-power switching applications with Smart-Relay-Systems. Our goal is to enable the future of Power IoT and Communications today.

It has superior linearity from 26 GHz down to DC and performs more than 3 billion switching cycles. The four switch channels are individually controllable by applying voltage to the corresponding RF GATE pin.

Ground-floor opportunity
We've been in business for three years and, while our first-year revenues were in the millions, we're still a small group. This is your chance to be part of a high-potential business, play an influential role in our ongoing strong growth, and build a long-term career home.

Ground-breaking technology
Born out of a decade-long effort at General Electric's Global Research Center, Menlo Micro is bringing to the market a series of technology innovations that have enabled us to reinvent one of the most essential and fundamental building blocks required for nearly every electronic system imaginable . . . the switch.

Top talent
You'll work with seasoned leaders with decades of combined experience and wins ranging from past startup success to success at major corporations, as well as with talented individual contributors. All of our team members bring tremendous skill and a proven track record of success, ranging from important journal publications to a plethora of patents to business and leadership successes, both domestic and international, and more. You will add your own strong skills to that talent, and also have plenty of opportunities to learn and further develop your skills.

Strong foundation
Unlike most startups, we have a decade of research behind us and $18.7 million of backing to get us started. We already have clients with needs ranging from home automation to wireless power-charging and are in production with a product that will support GE's MRI technology. In fact, we're already so far along that we've added a supply chain team and we just launched the business in December 2016! In other words, you will enjoy the entrepreneurial atmosphere of a high-potential startup without worrying about the usual startup risks.

Excellent compensation and perks
We value our employees and offer:
  • Competitive compensation and a robust, comprehensive benefits plan that includes a range of insurances, a 401(K) plan, paid time off and more.
  • Equity! You'll join us on the ground floor and can earn stock options, which could be lucrative over the long term.
  • Great work/life balance. While you will flex your schedule when needs demand, you'll primarily work a standard day shift. Even though we're a startup, we don't work typical startup hours. We still enjoy most evenings and weekends away from the office.

Naturally, your supply chain and planning skills will be essential, as will your abilities with Excel and other tools, but just as important in our small company culture will be your interpersonal and communication skills. You'll collaborate with a variety of internal and external stakeholders, and you should have the influencing skills to drive results. You'll also build relationships with suppliers, remain on top of things, ensure accuracy and timeliness, and always communicate back to the business. 

While we enjoy benefits and security beyond a normal startup, ours is still a startup environment. To thrive and excel here, you'll need a strong sense of ownership and accountability, the ability to act as a change manager, and a willingness to step in where needed, including outside of your job description. Our best people are those who are passionate about making a difference. You should be comfortable in a rapidly growing environment where ambiguity is the norm. Flexibility and adaptability will be critical to your success.
