About Pyka

Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation.

To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems.

We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes.

Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce CO2 emissions in their respective industries.

What you work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day.

Role Overview

Pyka is seeking a talented Senior Supply Planner/Buyer to join our team as we revolutionize autonomous electric aircraft.

Maintain the integrity and accuracy of the Purchasing and ERP systems by ensuring all critical data, including part costs, shipment details, confirmed arrival/delivery dates, quotes, POs, and invoices, are consistently linked and up-to-date.
Manage & Maintain vendor master data within the ERP, accurately capturing essential information such as lead times, minimum order quantities (MOQs), vendor contacts, certifications, and performance metrics.
Conduct strategic market research and execute regular Request for Quotations (RFQs) to secure competitive pricing and favorable terms for all critical and high-value components and equipment.
Proactively provide clear and regular communication to internal stakeholders (including Production, Engineering, and Finance) on the status of high-priority orders, potential supply chain risks, and cost changes to facilitate effective departmental planning
Develop, manage, and analyze key Supply Chain and Procurement performance metrics (KPIs), including On-Time Delivery (OTD), cost savings realization, and spend analysis, to drive continuous improvement and strategic decision-making.

We understand that candidates bring different strengths and experiences, and you don’t need to meet every qualification to be considered. If this role excites you, we’d love to learn more about you. You may be a great fit even if your background doesn’t align perfectly with the list.

Compensation & Benefits

$96,000–$116,000 per year base salary + equity. Compensation will vary depending on location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Salary ranges are subject to change.

This position requires access to technology, software and other information that is subject to governmental access control restrictions, due to export controls. Employment in this position is conditioned on the continued availability of government authorization to authorize release of such items, to the extent required, including without limitation an export license, or other documentation required to establish authorization to receive access to such items.

Company may delay commencement of employment, rescind an offer of employment, terminate employment, and/or may modify job responsibilities, compensation, benefits, and/or access to Company facilities and information systems, as Company deems appropriate, in order to ensure compliance with applicable government access control restrictions.
