Job description

As a Global Supply Manager (GSM) for EE & Semiconductors, you are a technical and commercial leader responsible for the foundational supply chain of our humanoid robot. You will develop and execute a comprehensive global sourcing strategy for essential components and materials, managing the lifecycle from pre-concept through to the handoff to sustaining operations. Your mission is to align business needs with supplier capabilities while navigating the complex, high-stakes landscape of semiconductor technologies. Core Responsibilities Strategic Sourcing & Roadmap Execution • Global Strategy: Develop and execute a comprehensive sourcing strategy for essential components and materials, ensuring long-term scalability for our humanoid robot. • Roadmap Alignment: Create and manage a semiconductor technology roadmap that aligns our product architecture with future industry trends and supplier innovations. • AVL Ownership: Own the Approved Vendor List (AVL) and lead the full supplier lifecycle-from identification and qualification to performance evaluation. Humanoid Robotics Ecosystem & Supply Agreements • Long-Term Agreements: Negotiate high-stakes, long-term deals and strategic supply agreements that secure the high-priority materials required to build and scale our humanoid platform. • Cross-Functional Synergy: Collaborate closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and NPI teams to ensure sourcing activities remain perfectly synchronized with product development and production timelines. • Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of industry trends, pricing dynamics, lead-time fluctuations, and technical advancements within the global silicon and electronics markets. Technical Influence & BOM Optimization • BOM Scrubs: Lead rigorous BOM scrubs and analysis to identify end-of-life (EOL) risks, single-source vulnerabilities, and technical bottlenecks before design freeze. • Design Influence: Partner with Architecture and Engineering to influence design decisions for optimal cost, performance, and supply-chain resilience. • Should-Cost Modeling: Own the "Should-Cost" modeling process to drive aggressive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reductions through negotiation and value engineering. Risk Management & Commercial Leadership • Risk Mitigation: Identify vulnerabilities in the EE supply chain (e.g., geopolitical shifts, capacity constraints) and implement robust hedging and business continuity strategies. • Contract Negotiation: Negotiate Master Purchase Agreements (MPAs), quality agreements, and Statements of Work (SOWs) that secure competitive pricing and favorable terms. • Performance Metrics: Implement and maintain robust supplier performance metrics and lead periodic business reviews to ensure strategic objectives are met. • Supplier Development: Periodically travel to supplier sites to drive initiatives such as cost reductions, relationship building, and supplier development. Requirements • Experience: 7+ years in global sourcing or commodity management, specifically with semiconductor or complex EE components. • Education: BS in Engineering (EE preferred), Supply Chain, or Business Management. • Category Expertise (Required): Direct experience managing and sourcing in at least one or two of the following segments: • Computing: Processors (CPUs/GPUs/FPGAs) and Memory (DRAM/NAND). • Perception: Sensors (IMUs, Lidar, Vision Sensors) and Camera Modules. • Power & Motion: Power Management ICs (PMICs), Battery Management Systems (BMS), and Motor Controllers. • Connectivity: Interface ICs (USB, PCIe, Ethernet), Wireless (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/5G), and high-speed Signal Integrity components. • Interaction: Display technologies, touch interfaces. • Domain Expertise: Deep technical knowledge of the semiconductor ecosystem and experience in NPI (New Product Introduction) environments. • Negotiation: Proven track record of securing long-term agreements with Tier 1 global suppliers. • Autonomy: Ability to operate as a subject-matter expert with a high degree of autonomy, balancing technical problem-solving with strategic planning. • Relationship Management: Skilled at establishing strong relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders. • Travel : Ability to travel domestically and internationally 25% Compensation The US base salary range for this full-time position is $140,000 – $220,000 annually. Compensation may vary based on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components and benefits, which will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
