Speedata is modernizing analytics infrastructure with the first purpose-built ASIC processor, the Analytics Processing Unit (APU), for analytics and AI data workloads.

Delivering up to 100x faster Apache Spark performance while cutting infrastructure TCO by 90%, the APU executes analytics operations directly in silicon with seamless integration and no code changes.

This is a part-time role (50%), with a clear path to becoming full-time as the company scales.

• Availability to start part-time and grow with the role

Nice to Have

• Background in hardware, electronics, semiconductors, or high-tech startups
• Experience choosing or implementing an ERP system
• Familiarity with global logistics or import/export
• Experience supporting NPI builds

Responsibilities

• Work directly with PCB manufacturers, EMS partners, and component suppliers
• Request and manage quotations, purchase orders, deliveries, and supplier follow-ups
• Build and improve supply chain and procurement processes from scratch
• Take part in selecting and implementing our ERP system (BOMs, items, workflows)
• Track lead times and material availability for NPI and early production
• Coordinate shipments and basic logistics (import/export)
