Global Supply Manager - Electrical & Electronics

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own commodity strategy for PCB fabrication, PCBA/EMS, wire harness and cable assembly, compute modules, sensors and perception hardware, and board-level components.
• Define the supply-base architecture for each commodity, including prototype partner, volume partner, regional alternate, and the triggers that move work between them.
• Create and run RFQs and RFPs, and lead supplier selection and contract award.
• Develop should-cost models addressing real cost drivers, including layer count, panel utilization, placement count, test strategy, connector and terminal selection, and labor content.
• Negotiate pricing, NRE, tooling, minimum order quantities, NCNR commitments, capacity reservations, and commercial terms, and own MSAs, LTAs, and tooling ownership agreements.
• Own commodity cost targets and multi-year cost-reduction roadmaps, including design-to-cost, supplier negotiations, VA/VE, alternate components, manufacturing-process improvements, and volume-based pricing.
• Maintain costed-BOM visibility for assigned commodities and identify gaps and opportunities against program-level BOM cost targets.
• Drive dual and multi-source coverage on critical content and own the roadmap that builds redundancy into single-sourced supply.

Job requirements

• Direct ownership of electronics commodities in a strategic sourcing, commodity management, or global supply management capacity.
• Deep hands-on experience in at least two of: PCB fabrication, PCBA/EMS, wire harness and cable assembly, compute hardware, sensors.
• Proven should-cost modeling capability and a negotiation track record with quantified results on electronics categories.
• Demonstrated experience developing commodity cost roadmaps and driving design-to-cost, VA/VE, and cost-reduction initiatives jointly with engineering.
• Experience developing and qualifying suppliers internationally, including managing regional footprint and concentration risk.
• Ability to read schematics, BOMs, fabrication and harness drawings, and test specifications, and to engage electrical engineering on technical detail.
• Experience managing semiconductor and electronic-component allocation, long-lead materials, NCNR commitments, lifecycle risk, EOL events, and last-time buys.
• Experience owning commercial agreements end to end.
