Modular gas turbines enabling scalable power
The power grid was built for a world that no longer exists. Centralized generation, hundred-mile transmission lines, decade-long permitting cycles. Meanwhile, demand is exploding: AI data centers, industrial electrification, remote operations that need megawatts yesterday and can't wait for utilities to catch up.
American Turbines is designing small modular gas turbines, purpose-built for distributed power generation. Machines designed from a blank sheet to be manufactured at scale, clustered in arrays. Hundreds of units operating in parallel, dynamically matching load like a compute cluster matches demand. We are a seed-stage company backed by the investors behind SpaceX, Boom Supersonic, and Hadrian.
The Supply Chain Manager helps our team source materials and get parts in shop asap. Today that means the parts for our first machines, working with machine shops and exploring the many options we can choose. Lead times on these parts set our schedule just as much as engineering does. Your job is to make the supply chain move faster than the design cycle.
Near term, you'll find and qualify suppliers, negotiate lead times and pricing, and manage purchasing and delivery against the build schedule. You'll sit with the engineers and join the early team here at American Turbines.
By 2027 the job changes: turbines in production on a rolling assembly. You will build the procurement system for rate manufacturing: supplier quality, incoming inspection, inventory, logistics, and the supplier base to support thousands of units per year. You'll hire the team that runs it.
You've sourced precision hardware: aerospace, turbomachinery, EV, or adjacent. You know how machine shops, foundries, and forge houses actually work, you can read a drawing and tell a supplier exactly why their part is late. You've negotiated with suppliers and have won almost impossible deals.
You've taken a product from prototype purchasing into rate production and know what breaks in between. You know when the expensive fast option is the cheap one.
Modular gas turbines enabling scalable power
American Turbines builds compact gas turbines designed for rapid deployment to meet electricity needs. Each turbine is a modular unit that can be shipped and installed quickly, and multiple units run in parallel to form clustered generation that scales with demand. This approach bypasses traditional, slow power-plant projects by enabling immediate, flexible expansion through adding units. The goal is to provide scalable, modular energy infrastructure that can grow as demand grows.
