About the role

Senior Commodity Manager owns the supply chain outcomes behind imaging hardware products, including infrared optics and related assemblies. You will manage supplier relationships end to end, from sourcing to capacity ramp, with deep understanding of infrared materials and fabrication processes.

Responsibilities

  • Own suppliers end to end. Identify and select sources, run requests for quote, drive input to make-buy decisions, and serve as the commercial and technical owner of the relationship.
  • Negotiate the commercial structure. Draft and negotiate pricing, capacity commitments, lead times, payment, warranty, and service terms. Build toward long-term agreements to secure capacity.
  • Build the cost model, then use it. Develop should-cost and clean-sheet models, analyze cost breakdowns, drive total cost of ownership across the lifecycle, and reconcile BOM cost with finance.
  • Secure capacity ahead of ramp. Map supply network lead times, place coverage against demand early, and resolve capacity gaps before they become issues.
  • Engage engineering before design locks. Provide DFM feedback and influence specifications based on supply availability and lifecycle health.
  • De-risk the bill of material. Perform risk assessments, qualify alternates, drive commonality and obsolescence mitigation.
  • Escalate and clear blockers. Participate in reviews, triage shortages, drive supplier issue resolution, including executive escalation when warranted.
  • Carry compliance into the sourcing decision. Consider origin, content, export controls, and regulatory requirements in supplier selection and PO structure.
  • Complete supplier qualification. Own capability and authorization portions of supplier evaluation with the Supplier Quality Organization.
