This internship focuses on supporting Matic's supply chain operations for their home robots. Responsibilities include inventory management (receiving, storage, movement, audits), optimizing inventory levels, forecasting demand, and working with cross-functional teams.  The role also involves global sourcing and procurement of components, supplier evaluation, market research, and negotiation. Data analysis and reporting on KPIs are crucial, along with coordinating logistics and international shipping.  The ideal candidate will have a passion for robotics and supply chain management.

<div class="_descriptionText_4fqrp_201"><h1>Overview</h1>Matic is bringing families out of the stone age of remarkably dumb disc home robots. Humanity spends ~2.5 trillion hours annually on home chores, worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value at $10/hour. We are on a mission to recapture this time and value with fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque home robots that families love and cannot fathom their lives without.&nbsp; Our approach In 2017, we observed 200+ self-driving car startups and an equal number of industrial robotics startups, but the home autonomy and robotics space had been dramatically overlooked. While AI is becoming more ubiquitous, families are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores. At Matic, we're leveraging advanced technology to address this problem. We've started by reimagining our first product in fully autonomous floor-cleaning robots. Just like consumers adopted Cell Phones, then PDAs, then iPods and Blackberries before adopting the iPhone to replace all, we believe that consumers will adopt single-purpose, elegant, and affordable robots that belong and become part of their homes first before we get one-robot-to-rule all chores. Our goal is to continue automating other forms of household labor, shipping useful, affordable, and privacy-first robots to our users that solve real problems while building iteratively toward more complex tasks and capabilities over time.Privacy firstOur robots are also private by design, with all the computes on the edge device. We believe that families shouldn't have to jeopardize their privacy just to get some help with the constant drudgery of home chores.Who we are We are a consumer robotics product company solving real customer problems. We start with a problem, think of an elegant solution in the form of robots, and conduct necessary research to build products that just work. We believe families want solutions to their problems, and AI &amp; robots enable us to solve them. Who we are NOT We are NOT a Robotics Foundation Model research lab, a humanoid builder, or a robotics software platform company. We build fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque robotic products that kids, pets, and families love!<h1>About the role</h1>Do you have a passion for robotics and a keen interest in the supply chain?
