About MSS USA CORP

MSS USA CORP, a U.S. subsidiary of MSSCORPS CO., LTD (publicly listed in Taiwan), provides Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and advanced materials analysis services for the semiconductor industry. Our new Sunnyvale, CA facility is equipped with cutting-edge lab and facility systems supporting next-generation semiconductor R&D, failure analysis, and materials characterization.

We’re looking for a Procurement & Inventory Specialist to take ownership of MSS USA’s daily purchasing operations and internal inventory processes. This role is central to building standardized, data-driven workflows that enhance our cross-country supply chain across the US, Taiwan, and Japan—while supporting compliance with internal audit and ISO requirements.

Role Objective

To manage MSS USA’s procurement activities and internal inventory operations, develop scalable workflows, and help establish a resilient and compliant supply chain foundation.

Key Responsibilities

1. Procurement Operations

  • Issue POs, perform basic sourcing and price comparison, and manage vendor communication
  • Track lead times and coordinate delivery schedules
  • Perform receiving and acceptance checks for purchased items (with engineering teams)
  • Prepare and organize AP documents for Accounting
  • Maintain vendor data; support supplier qualification / evaluation
  • Maintain ISO-related procurement procedures and documentation
  • Support Japan procurement activities when required

2. Inventory & Warehouse Management (Internal Materials Only)

  • Receive, label, store, and track internal materials
  • Maintain the inventory system and perform regular stock counts
  • Monitor stock levels and initiate replenishment when quantities fall below thresholds
  • Coordinate with engineering teams on consumables and spare-part usage
  • 3. Supply Chain & Process Improvement

  • Support creation of standardized procurement and inventory workflows across TW / US / JP
  • Assist in implementing digital tools for purchasing and internal inventory control
  • Track supplier performance and support cost-optimization initiatives
  • Participate in continuous improvement and process-standardization projects
  • In addition, this role may occasionally support customer sample pickup as needed.

    Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 1–3 years of experience in procurement, supply chain, inventory control, or administrative operations
  • Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail and accuracy
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritize effectively, and operate in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication skills for interacting with vendors, engineers, and cross-functional teams
  • Ability to follow standardized procedures and maintain documentation for audit and ISO requirements
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with procurement, ERP, or inventory systems
  • Prior experience in semiconductor, high-tech, manufacturing, or R&D environments
  • Familiarity with ISO 9001 or ISO-related procurement documentation
  • Ability to identify inefficiencies and support building scalable, standardized processes
  • Strong analytical mindset and comfort working with data for decision-making
  • Why Join MSS USA?

  • Be part of a fast-growing Silicon Valley lab building one of the most advanced TEM analysis centers in the U.S.
  • Work closely with scientists, engineers, and leadership, giving you visibility and real ownership over core operational workflows.
  • Global collaboration across the U.S., Taiwan, and Japan headquarters offers exposure to an international semiconductor supply chain.
  • A stable and reputable foundation — backed by MSSCORPS CO., LTD, a publicly listed company with 20+ years in advanced materials analysis.
  • Innovative, dynamic, small-team environment where your impact is immediate and meaningful.
  • If you're looking to grow your career in supply chain and operations within a cutting-edge semiconductor environment, we’d love to connect.
