About the role

Electronics Strategic Supply Chain Manager responsible for sourcing strategy, commercial execution, and supply readiness for critical electronics in next-generation AI hardware. Build-and-scale role overseeing PCBA, EMS/CM, semiconductors, RF/connectivity, flex circuits, and other board-level technologies, driving NPI to sustained production.

Responsibilities

  • Own strategic sourcing strategy and supplier relationship management for electronics commodities, including PCB Assembly, EMS / Contract Manufacture services, semiconductors, RF / connectivity, flex circuits, connectors, and other critical EE components.
  • Lead end-to-end RFQ, supplier selection, sourcing award, cost negotiation, contract execution, NDA, supply agreement, MSA, SOW, NRE, tooling, CapEx, and Terms & Conditions activities for electronics suppliers and manufacturing partners.
  • Drive PCB Assembly and EMS commercial readiness, including BOM cost management, SMT / test cost breakdown, yield assumptions, equipment and fixture amortization, capacity plans, line readiness, Clear-to-build (CTB) visibility, and production ramp support.
  • Manage electronics allocation and long-lead risk across NPI and production, including wafer capacity, semiconductor lead times, NCNR exposure, risk buys, EOL / LTB plans, buffer strategy, supplier commits, and escalation paths.
  • Negotiate piece price, payment terms, liability coverage, warranty, quality obligations, IP / confidentiality protections, capacity reservations, pull-in / push-out terms, cancellation rights, and long-lead material exposure.
  • Support aggressive NPI builds and mass-production ramps by ensuring material readiness, PO placement, capacity confirmation, supplier ramp plans, risk reporting, and clear ownership across engineering, operations, quality, finance, legal, and manufacturing partners.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in strategic supply management, strategic sourcing, commodity management, or supply-chain program management for high-volume electronics (7+ years and deep PCBA / EMS ownership considered).
  • Direct experience managing electronics commodities such as PCBA, EMS / CM, semiconductors, memory, RF, modules, flex circuits, connectors, passives, or other board-level / module-level technologies across NPI and sustained production.
  • Proven track record negotiating complex commercial agreements covering price, NRE, tooling, CapEx, capacity, lead time, payment terms, liability, warranty, and long-term supply commitments — with measurable cost and supply outcomes.
  • Ability to read and challenge supplier cost breakdowns across PCBA and EMS structures, including SMT, test, fixtures, labor, yield, scrap, overhead, and amortization; experience building should-cost models to support fact-based negotiation.
  • High urgency, high accountability, and strong project-management discipline; able to drive alignment across engineering, operations, finance, legal, quality, suppliers, and manufacturing partners while managing multiple priorities in parallel.
