Responsibilities
Material Readiness & Supply Planning
- Own end-to-end material readiness across NPI and production phases, including building the necessary framework and processes for enablement.
- Drive supply planning and execution for long lead-time and constrained commodities including ASICs, HBM, DDR, SSDs, networking, optics, power, thermal, and mechanicals.
- Build and manage material readiness plans aligned to proto/pre-EVT, EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production schedules.
- Monitor supply health, lead times, inventory positions, allocation risk, and capacity constraints.
- Drive shortage management, allocation mitigation, and recovery planning.
- Coordinate supply commits, forecast alignment, and supply continuity planning with suppliers and manufacturing partners.
Cross-Functional Program Management
- Partner with Engineering to translate product requirements into executable supply chain strategies.
- Drive alignment across Strategic Sourcing, Commodity Management, Manufacturing Operations, Finance, Quality, and Planning teams.
- Coordinate with ODMs, CMs, and suppliers on material schedules, build readiness, and operational execution.
- Lead material reviews, supply risk assessments, and executive-level program updates.
- Establish governance models and operating cadences across internal and external stakeholders.
Supplier & Manufacturing Partner Management
- Work closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners to manage supply continuity and operational readiness.
- Drive supplier accountability around lead times, commits, recovery plans, and escalation management.
- Support commercial negotiations through operational and supply chain insights.
- Coordinate material flow strategies across suppliers, hubs, manufacturing sites, and deployment locations.
- Evaluate second-source and supply resiliency strategies.
Process & Operational Scaling
- Develop scalable material planning and execution mechanisms.
- Improve forecast management, supply visibility, exception handling, and inventory planning processes.
- Build dashboards and KPI frameworks for supply readiness, shortages, inventory exposure, and operational health.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives across supply chain execution and operational processes.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Operations, Business, or related field.
- 8+ years of experience in Supply Chain Program Management, Material Program Management, Commodity Management, Strategic Sourcing, or related hardware supply chain roles.
- Experience supporting complex hardware products through NPI and production ramps.
- Strong understanding of hardware supply chains, material planning, and supplier operations.
- Experience managing constrained supply environments and long lead-time commodities.
- Experience working with ODMs, CMs, and global supplier ecosystems.
- Strong analytical, program management, and executive communication skills.
- Ability to drive cross-functional alignment in ambiguous and fast-moving environments.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting AI/ML infrastructure, servers, networking, storage, or custom silicon programs.
- Experience with ASIC supply chains, advanced packaging, HBM/DDR memory ecosystems, or hyperscale infrastructure deployments.
- Familiarity with ERP/MRP/PLM systems, BOM structuring, and supply planning tools.
- Experience building supply resiliency and second-source strategies.
- Experience operating in highly constrained and rapidly scaling environments.
