Materials Manager, Compute & Storage
Austin, TX$155k - $220kFull-timePosted 3mo ago
About the role
Role focused on owning the compute and storage category (GPU servers, storage systems, and node-level components) from supplier strategy through delivery, with emphasis on dual-sourcing, supplier performance, and alignment with forward build pipelines for high-scale AI compute infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Own the compute and storage category: GPU servers, storage systems, and node-level components from supplier strategy through delivery.
- Negotiate pricing, lead times, and capacity reservations with OEMs and ODMs, tied to the forward build pipeline rather than trailing volumes.
- Dual-source every critical node configuration so a single supplier slip never stalls a data hall.
- Track supplier performance with data: on-time delivery, DOA rates, and lead-time drift reviewed and acted on monthly.
Qualifications
- You've sourced servers, GPUs, or storage at volume from OEMs or ODMs.
- You've secured allocation during constrained cycles by making your account matter to the supplier.
- You read a cost breakdown and know which lines are real and which are padding.
- You've managed supplier performance with scorecards that changed behavior, not just recorded it.
Skills
